studychinese Posted March 26, 2015 at 01:59 PM Report Posted March 26, 2015 at 01:59 PM I am thinking about buying a ChinesePod subscription. However because the ChinesePod subscription is one of linear time (for example, 3 months etc) I doubt that I will be able to get much value out of that because I will probably rarely use it within that time frame. If I could rip the contents to my home computer I could then use the materials at my own leisure (ChinesePod has no problem with DL'ing contents - it's allowed). I don't have time to rip the contents lesson by lesson. Is there a better way? Quote
tysond Posted March 27, 2015 at 05:46 AM Report Posted March 27, 2015 at 05:46 AM There is an RSS feed you can set it up with the levels you want and use an RSS downloaded to grab them all. Quote
studychinese Posted March 27, 2015 at 07:24 AM Author Report Posted March 27, 2015 at 07:24 AM Ooh! Interesting. Never used RSS - I will check it out. Quote
Mr. 愛爾蘭 Posted March 31, 2015 at 01:44 AM Report Posted March 31, 2015 at 01:44 AM It's very simple to do -- once you've subscribed, they will give you a link that will open up itunes. In itunes (or another program that captures their RSS feed), you can automatically download hundreds of episodes at a time. Quote
studychinese Posted March 31, 2015 at 01:32 PM Author Report Posted March 31, 2015 at 01:32 PM Follow up question - does the RSS DL include PDF transcripts/other info? Quote
Mr. 愛爾蘭 Posted April 1, 2015 at 07:17 AM Report Posted April 1, 2015 at 07:17 AM Yes. You have also have the option of downloading traditional/simplified/both (or had the last time I used it) Quote
