Create and upload the RSS / XML file

Start Easypodcast and follow these steps.

1. Easypodcast Configuration.

   Create a directory called "online" in the directory you saved the audio files in earlier.

   Select Tools > options and on the MP3 tagging tab enter the artist name and change the source MP3 directory to C:\podcasts and the output MP3 directory to C:\podcasts\online

   

   Select the feed options tab and change the output rss file directory to C:\podcasts\online

   

   Select the Upload settings tab and enter the details of your FTP account, in the screenshot I've used the settings for the free web space provided for Education Queensland staff, you may need to contact your systems administrator, your ISP or use one of the many free hosts available online, usually you receive some free web space with your internet account. There is another option that doesnt require a FTP account that is discussed below.

   After you've filled in the details Select save and exit.

   

2. By default you'll be back at the MP3 file tagging tab. Browse for the Audio File and then select generate tuned MP3. You'll notice it generates the IDv2 tags puts the new audio file in your online directory.

   

3. Select the RSS Feed Publication tab. Add any new audio files and select Create RSS. For the demo I went into the C:\podcasts\online directory and renamed the files so I could add a second file in order to demonstrate the use of subscribing to a podcast.

   

4. Select the File Uploading tab, add the files and select send.

   If you dont have a FTP account, dont worry, you can use any tool to copy or upload the files in the C:\podcasts\online folder to your webspace. Ourmedia is a popular free web host.

   

Now your podcast is ready for testing.
