The maximum should be 25, but I have seen feeds cut off at 15 and have had readers complain they would get only the top 12 in the feed to iTunes.<br />Be aware that also Huffduffer can be used to create your won feeds. I find Huffduffer more user friendly for this purpose than Google Reader<br /><br />AnneAnne the Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314860255666037414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930280893880221735.post-39500545008197525182009-12-30T12:40:44.232+02:002009-12-30T12:40:44.232+02:00Hi, Anne, Kate-

I am a long-time user of Google Reader and iTunes, and this way to combine them both is just fantastic. Thanks for the tip!<br />Ranרן לויhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15125155201663689525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930280893880221735.post-43291903413155196542009-06-30T09:28:53.444+03:002009-06-30T09:28:53.444+03:00Hey Kate,

You go into "Manage s...Oh it's not hard. <br /><br />You go into "Manage subscriptions" (The link at the bottom of your folder list). <br /><br />Then select the "Folders and Tags" setting. <br /><br />There you get a list of your folders and tags - at the very top is the starred items, then the shared items. <br /><br />Pick which you want to make a feed out of (I'd go with a special tag just for downloads, unless you're not already using your starred folder). And toggle the public/private icon (a striped wedge) to make it public - you're going to have to make it public to make a feed out of it and for ITunes to read it. <br /><br />Then click "view public page" for that tag. On that page you will see a link to the atom feed. I'm assuming ITunes can read atom feeds, right? If not you just thread it through feedburner and flip it to whatever format you want. <br /><br />Oh, and thanks so much for this blog - I've already added a few dozen new podcasts to Google Reader - and they're GOOD. You're seriously enhancing my quality of life :)Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930280893880221735.post-75372099166303222022009-06-30T07:36:09.496+03:002009-06-30T07:36:09.496+03:00Hi Kate,

A quick look into Google Reader did not show me how I can turn my starred or shared items into a feed. Should you have any additional information on that matter, I'll appreciate it a lot.<br /><br />And thanks a lot for commenting,<br /><br />AnneAnne the Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314860255666037414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930280893880221735.post-22575321384824329332009-06-30T04:38:00.585+03:002009-06-30T04:38:00.585+03:00I don't use ITunes (because I don't have a...I don't use ITunes (because I don't have an Ipod ipod but a regular MP3 player and ITunes drives me insane). But I had a sudden epiphany on how you may be able to simplify your system. <br /><br />Google Reader allows you to star items (or tag them or share them) and you can turn any of these (starred, shared, or any tag or folder) into their own feeds in the settings. <br /><br />So, assuming ITunes has the ability to follow any podcast feed, you should be able to have it follow one of your Google Feeds (say, starred, or a feed tagged "IPOD" and have it automatically download anything in that feed. <br /><br />That way you should be able to easily control from within Google Reader - as you're reviewing your feeds - what IPod downloads.Katenoreply@blogger.com
