Any mac users out there having trouble downloading Air America podcasts?

I was so excited about carrying Air America with me onto the NYC subways, but I am unable to make it work...

anyone?

3. Yeah, he's right - get a PC.

Macs are useful paperweights though. :hi:

10. PC's are too bulky and ugly

to even be considered as paperweights. Who would want one on their desk?

6. Thank you nnn.

Glad to see there are some PC users who can be civil.

I emailed iTunes about the problem, but have heard nothing back, yet. Thought someone here at DU may have solved the problem.

7. Did you update to 4.9 yet?

[EnfantTerrible]

12. yup.

I have downloaded the subscriptions even, but am told that they are either text or unplayable files.

9. Yeah, for some reason...

The Air America Podcasts are really unreliable. I still go to AirAmericaPlace and download the standard MP3. I had the same problem with iPodder (which when it did download seemed to sometimes lose chunks or even speed up the audio).

It's the fault of the AAR servers. The problem is not in your grand and glorious Mac.

11. The problem is with podcastingcouch.com (and ignorant PC users).

I believe you can go directly to the website, download the torrent, and get the file that way.

The Mac bashers who offer no help can feck off. :)

13. Thanks

I'll try it that way. Tedious, though.
