Although I can understand Apple's reluctance to carry every possible podcast available in iTMS, I would like to see the ability to add custom subscriptions under the PodCasts lists in iTunes 4.9.

Easy: Under 'Advanced' select 'Subscribe to podcast'. Now enter the URL of feed. Thats all!

What about the "Publish a Podcast"? Seems to me anyone can publish one.

Did you even look around the new features including the Subscribe to Podcast... menu item?

There's also a link for podcasters to add their own feed to the directory.

Use your eyes before you use your mouth.

Sorry, I didn't see that under the Advance menu. I guess I was being an idiot user for expecting that type of usability to be found in the Podcasts section of iTunes.

But you've done your civic duty today in a respectful and articulate manner. So now go give your mommy a kiss and get on the short bus, you little pissant!

You can't find a simple menu item and I'm the one getting on the short bus? I think you might be confused.

Truest thing you've said here. Way to criticize the free help.

When it's done in a disrespectful manner, then "free" is not a concern. As others have stated and I replied, the placement of the feature leaves a lot to be desired by a company that prides itself on ease-of-use. I would not consider adding custom podcasts an "Advanced" feature but a standard. So overlooking its availability in a menu location is a more probable result.

But perhaps that just me thinking beyond the expectations of this audience.

Apple made the Podcast directory (which is open) in the iTunes Music Store for people that can't figure out to look in menus.

Or does Apple need to add a throbbing "CLICK ME" button for every function so you can find it?

Even when something seems blatantly obvious to most of us there will still be plenty of others who miss it.

I don't contend that, but going on a tirade about the lack of free feed support before you even do a little research to verify those claims deserves a blunt response.

Hmm... well, it would have been nice if a "Subscribe to Podcast" button was added to the Podcast Screen instead of having to access the "Advanced" menu to get to it.
