After this bugging me for a while and podpress not working for me i eventually got it going:-

1. Add podcast files to Wordpress

Create a new post in the feed you want to become your podcast and uplaod and attach a test episode. then find and copy your wordpress rss:- www.mysite.com/feed

2. Burn wordpress rss with feedburner

Feedburner does some magic to make Itunes understand your wordpress feed so head over there sign in or up and paste in your wordpress feed. You will then be taken few a through steps to add the right info to make itunes love your feed. Make sure you add a pretty pic and your author info When you are all done you will end up with a feed like:- http://feeds.feedburner.com/mysite

3. Test your feed

Itunes is a pickly little bitch, if you have the slightest problem with your feed it will not show up and it could take you weeks to sort it out. So to avoid all that heartache test your feedburner feed, first in a browser window, just paste it in and check you can see you audio file and download it. Then in Itunes on your machine. Select "Advanced>Subscribe to a podcast..." paste in the feedburner feed and it *should* jump to podcasts and start downlaoding. Then once done check you can listen to it and you are all good to go to next step. If try to fix it, make sure you mp3 is in the post right on your site etc.

4. Submit feed to Itunes

On your machine's itunes go to "Itunes Store>Podcasts" then in the quick nav click on "Submit a podcast" paste in your feedburner feed and your are done!... almost

5. Wait...

Apple will take about 24hours to review your podcast and make sure its all good and not too explict or whatever. If all goes well you will get an email saying so. Then yo u can go to itunes and search in the store to find your podcast YEEEEHA!

6. Make Wordpress speak feedburner (optional but recommended)

Although you now have a itunes podcast, your wordpress will still has its own feed, which means you could end up with some subscribers to it and some through itunes to the feedburner. This makes stats more tricky etc so if you follow this page explains how to download and install a wee plugion for wordpress to make it put all your posts in just your feedburner feed. There we go all done neat and tidy.

Just for anyone who might care here is a link to the podcast i made for Coracle

Just a quickie for anyone wishing to use audio from itunes to drive their VDMX audio effects whilst practicing.

You can of course just play the audio out your speakers and use the internal mic (assuming you have one) to pick it up, but this gives a pretty ugly wave form...

So using sound flower (free from cyling 74) and the sound pref pane on your mac and VDMX's audio analyser plugin this is how i sorted it:

with audio running in itunes coming out your speakers as normal:

1. in system preferances, sound pane, output tab, select soundflower 2ch

>>itunes goes quiet, ie the sound is no longer coming out the speakers

2. in vdmx set, click options on audio analyser, input drop down: soundflower 2ch

>>audio analyser displays music waveform but still no sound coming from speakers

3. still in audio analyser check "play thru" is to build in output (its like this by default)

>> still no sound from speakers

4. launch soundflower bed(the wee app that comes with sound flower and select bulit in output on the 2 channel options (default is none)

>> sound now comes through speakers :)
