Nerds: (me) Want to know how to plug an RSS 2.0 feed with enclosures (videoblog) into iTunes and watch them there? FireAnt is the best video aggregator and it's far more useful than this but I still think it's cool that you can even do this... Pete from Tinkernet figured this out and wrote the following:
In iTunes 4.9 go under the 'Advanced' menu to 'Subscribe to podcast...' and paste in the URL of your feed. It'll do it's iTunes magic and show you the feed, and start to download the most recent item and display the rest of the items. Under the 'Edit' menu make sure you select 'Show Artwork' to display the part of iTunes that usually shows cover art. In the little row of buttons on the bottom left of the iTunes window, the last one on the right will show the video playing in full-screen mode.
I hope that makes sense... (Anyone wanna do a screencast of this?)
UPDATE: I made a really crappy screencast of this. (300 k file) I compressed it down way too much but it does the trick...
looks like having to click on 'show artwork' would be counter-intuitive (fucking stupid)

Haha! I got here because of the info about subscribing to podcasts on Lifehacker. What cracks me up is that your mom's comments on your blog are VERY similar in tone to my mother's comments on my blog. I'm going to have to show this to my mom. She'll get a kick out of it!
I'm sure she's wondering how she got such a nerd, too!!

Oh, and did you check out the thing Lifehacker posted about subscribing to del.icio.us audio items?
Update: I’m enjoying some music and videos bookmarked in del.icio.us using their media operators; Try adding
http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:filetype:mp3+mashups
to iTunes for MP3 mashups or
http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/system:media:video
for random video items.

Abby's right. I did get a kick out of your comments, and they do sound like me.

Wow! I guess I'm late to the party, but happy birthday dude!
If I've got this strait we've got two moms commenting and one dad here. Awesome! I wish my mom would come and comment on my blog. I'm sure she never reads it though. I doubt she's even seen it to tell you the truth. ;(
Well, happy late birthday! :)

Hi
This is cool. But have you tried www.attensa.com It is free and it allows you to use any RSS 2.0 enclosure and then intergates with iTunes or WMP.

it looks like attensa.com is a winner for me. It might be easier to deal with.
