How to convert a podcast into a normal iTunes entry
Excellent. I was never sure if iTunes maintained the "podcastness" of a track in its own database or whether this info was stowed in the file. Results of experiments were ambiguous (copy file of podcast episode to Desktop; delete original track and file; re-add copied file back; it shows up in the Podcast playlist; how'd it do that?).
Anyway, thanks for the trick and the nice words about my site. ---
What about the other way?
I've used the excellent AtomicParsley command line tool to manipulate the "podcastness" of AAC (.m4a) files. AtomicParsley operates by editing various tags in MPEG-4 files (sorry, no MP3 support).
After processing the file with AtomicParsley you must (re-)add it to the iTunes library. iTunes will use the track's Album name as the Podcast name, creating a new directory by that name if necessary in the iTunes Music/Podcast folder and placing the file there if you have iTunes Preferences ->Advanced ->General -> "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to Library" checked. |
