Subscribing in iTunes

Subscribing to MyDailyPhrase Italian couldn't be simpler. Ideally you'd use iTunes - it's the easiest way to download and subscribe to podcasts! You can download iTunes here if you've not already got it on your computer.

Your first step is to click on the subscribe button in the sidebar.

This should launch iTunes and take you to the MyDailyPhrase Italian page in the iTunes Store. You should now click on the subscribe button in the store. Note that subscribing in the iTunes store is free. MyDailyPhrase Italian will be providing additional materials in a Premium version, but the basic podcast is free.

Once you click on subscribe, iTunes will go to the podcast feed and request the most recent episode. Your download manager will now show that you're downloading the material from our servers:

Once the podcast has downloaded you can now view all episodes in the iTunes Podcast menu:

And that's all there is to it! From now on, all new episodes of MyDailyPhrase Italian will be delivered straight to your computer. If you have an iPod then you can check your settings to ensure that each new edition of the podcast is copied straight to your iPod too.

I think this is a very interesting offering. Can you get the premium version thorugh iTunes?

[Mark]

Ciao, Sandy. Yes, you will be able to subscribe to the Premium Version in iTunes and all the podcasts and pdf guides will be delivered automatically to you. The Premium Materials should be available later this week: there has been a slight delay with part of the premium website.

I really like the program so far. I'm also looking forward to the pdf study guides. I'd love to be able to learn how to spell the vocabulary we're learning.

I have been trying to subscribe to the premium services for over a week. When I try and use Paypal to send a payment I will get a session timeout message. I have sent three emails to you for assistance and have only had auto-responses telling me that I will be contacted "soon". This is my last attempt to get a response. I had no problem subscribing to Coffee Break Spanish. Thanks

Walt, I've emailed you about this - I really hope you get the email because we seem to have been having continued problems with comcast.net subscribers. Hopefully the instructions in the email will help. There is an alternative payment method discussed in this post:

Let me know if you continue to have problems.

Hi All,
I've only just discovered this programme on itunes podcasts and I think is FANtastic but after subscribing it has only downloaded the final episode. This probably sounds like a silly question but is there an easy way to download all of the previous episodes?

Hi, I was wondering if you could get all the PDF guides at once if you subscribe, or do you have to wait for the episode to be broadcasted again, because i have all the podcasts and i would really like it if i could get going on the PDFs aswell. To answer vereity question, If you go to the main menu and click on the subscribe to the podcast section. When iTunes loads up, click subscribe at the top next to the icon, then go to your podcasts menu and click the arrow before 'MyDailyPhraseItalian', this will make a drop down menu. Now from here you can click get next to any of the lessons. I got all of them this way, it make take about 8 mins to get all of them, but it's worth it.

Hi, I was wondering why I can't download lesson 42 and I could not find lessons 61 and 62?

You are doing a great job and I really enjoy your podcast!!!

Being an Ubuntu user (not Apple and not Windows) I do not have iTunes and never will. However, I use other podcast downloader for which I need your podcast's feed address. I would love to learn Italian through your podcast.

Hi Guys.
I have become a member in order to get the italian lessons with pdfs. I followed your instructions for receiving mydailyphraseitalian on itunes. I can get the lessons but only 4 sample versions of the pdf's. Please can you help?

[Ali]

Hola, Mark
I have been enjoying the Coffee Break Spanish so much that I thought I'd try the Italian. Of course, not having itunes, and not being able to find the RSS feed url I have just spent 4 lessons manually downloading the MP3s (committment).

It would be great if the RSS address was more prominent. As you can see I've finally found it here.

Also, the lesson 43 mp3 file appears to be missing (or the URL is incorrect), and there is no entry on the index list for lessons 61 and 62, although they are there and I successfully downloaded them.

It's great to see someone doing so well on the internet with a constructive product.
