Adding information to the Podcast

The upper pane of the Podcast window shows various ﬁelds and settings that are related to

the basic Feed or Episode, depending on what you have selected in the lower pane's item

list (the ﬁelds are slightly different for the Feed and Episodes).

Field labels in bold letters point at a ﬁeld that is mandatory to ﬁll. For quick publishing of your

Podcast it is sufﬁcient to ﬁll these ﬁelds only.

The following settings are available for the Feed and Episode items:

Title

This sets the title of the feed (e.g. the topic of your podcast). This is a mandatory ﬁeld

for Feed and Episode.

Description

This gives space for a further description of the feed content. This is a mandatory ﬁeld

for Feed and Episode.

Internet link (URL)

Your feed's main link presented to the user. Use this to direct people to a certain website

that is related to your feed. This is a mandatory ﬁeld. Clicking will open the speciﬁed

URL in your system's default Internet browser, so make sure that the link is correct. This

is a mandatory ﬁeld for Feed.

Picture (Feed only)

This picture cannot be larger than 144 x 400 pixels according to the RSS standard,

so the picture is automatically resized if required. Clicking will open the speciﬁed

picture in your system's default image viewer.

Audio ﬁle (Episode only)

This sets the path to the Audio File you want to add to the episode. The Audio File

could be any ﬁle type that is supported by the web browser's media reader, but an

.mp3 ﬁle is best for compatibility. Clicking the button lists the Audio Files already

open in WaveLab. Select one for your episode. Alternatively, you can drag the icon

of an Audio File into the Audio File pane. Clicking opens the speciﬁed ﬁle in your

system's default media player or viewer, as a preview or check.

Publication date and time

This sets the publication date and time of the Feed or Episode. Clicking the "Now"

button will transfer your system's current date and time.

For the Feed, if "As most recent episode" is checked, this automatically matches the date

and time of the most recent Episode.
