How to subribe to Podcasts

Often times if your new to Symbian and other times you are not so new and you ask yourself this question, “I want to subscribe to some podcast but most of the time the podcast that I want to listen to is not part of the native directory, now what.” Well fortunately and thanks to Nokia for creating Nokia Podcast this process is not that bad, you just need to follow some relatively simple instructions and you’ll be listening to podcasts in no time.

So now you can enjoy our podcast every week and also when I do a single podcast on any particular topic. But sometimes when you’re looking for podcast you come with a term called OPML which is nothing more than an xml file markup for outlines that gathers information, in this case podcast url information. My friend Gerry Moth from NokiaAddict also has some podcasts which are very cool and he’s also included NMT’s in that list via an OPML file. So lets teach you how to import those files into your beloved smartphones.

What’s the deal with OPML, well you can import more than one podcast at time in an outline format which is awesome. So here we go again :)

Follow these Steps to Import your Podcast OPML file

1. Download the OPML file, here is mine remember you’ll want to do a right click and save as and download it to your desktop or anywhere you want Nokia Mobile Talk’s OPML file download

2. Now connect your smartphone via usb and create a folder, the name is arbitrary, I call mine OPML Import. The folder has to be created in the main memory of the phone not the sd memory.

3. Drop your recently downloaded opml file to that folder and now we’re ready to go back to the Nokia Podcast application to this screen.
