podCast411's "iTunes 1 Click"

[dmears1]

Hey All,
I noticed on podcast411.com that they have a way to launch their podcast feed directly into iTunes and I can't find any information anywhere on how this is done. You can see what I'm talking about by visiting

http://www.podcast411.com

and then look in the upper lefthand corner. There's an orange image that says "iTunes 1 Click"

I noticed on the button you click, that the URL is:

itpc://

http://www.podcast411.com/feed.xml.

I've never run across "itpc://" before and was unable to find anyting by googling. Any ideas on how this is doen?

The same thing can be seen here:

They also have an "iTunes" button you can click which will launch iTunes.

Found the answer I was looking for here:

It should have been fairly obvious to me that this should be the first place to look for my answer.

Let me know if you have any other questions about how the

itpc://

prefix works.

It not only launches iTunes - it also subscribes to the person to your show, and your show does not even need to be in the iTunes directory for this to work.

That is the real beauty of this.

A True One Click Subscription method - Finally.
