How to Convert an MP3 Podcast to iTunes

Podcasts have made it possible to archive terrestrial and online radio programming so that you can listen to your favorite shows on the go and even create audio programming of your own. If you have a podcast in MP3 format and would like to archive it as an iTunes podcast, you can do so by simply changing the file information within iTunes itself.

Instructions

1. Open your podcast in iTunes. Simply drag the podcast file onto the iTunes icon and it will automatically filter into the iTunes library.

2. Click to highlight "Music" in the left column of the iTunes window, right below "Library." Your podcast will show up in the list that appears.

3. Click the title of your podcast once to highlight it. Do not double-click, because this would cause it to begin playing.

4. Click "File" in the menu bar at the top of your screen and select "Get Info" from the drop-down menu. A new window will appear containing all of the technical information for your file.

5. Click the "Options" tab.

6. Change the "Media Kind" from "Music" to "Podcast." To do this, simply click the bar beside "Media Kind" and select "Podcast" from the list that pops up.

7. Click "OK." Your podcast will now appear in the iTunes "Podcasts" library.
