This article describes how to download the PrepCast videos into your laptop or mobile device:
Use a Podcast Application
In order to download the content, you need a Podcast Application on your computer/laptop/device.
If you do not have one on your laptop/mobile, select and install a podcast application.
- We recommend either Podcast Addict or Pocket Casts for Android.
- Apple iOS has an official Apple Podcast app
- iTunes is available for Windows.
As there are so many applications available that are ever-changing. We only provide instructions for these applications. (Podcast Addict, Apple Podcast app, and iTunes).
General Approach
Every application is different, but all have the same approach:
- First, copy your personal RSS URL
- Select "subscribe to podcast" in your app
- Paste our personal RSS URL and tap OK.
Some applications offer an option for "one-click" subscriptions for podcasts, which can add your subscription automatically after one click. If that doesn't work, then you have to subscribe manually.
Some applications allow you to download content all at once. Other applications require users to select which lessons/episodes to download, so you cannot download them all at once.
Notes about other applications:
- Google Podcasts has a timeout at about 20 seconds and does not complete the subscription/load for large RSS downloads, so you may get an error if you try to download all episodes or multiple "large" files.
Personal RSS URL
To download the content, you need your personal RSS URL that is contained in the email that was sent to you with the Subject heading, "Thank you for your order..." If you can't find your RSS URL for this video, please send an email to support@pm-prepcast.com
