Upload Your Content to the iTunes Store

| | Comments (34)

You can upload a folder or playlist to the iTunes store so others can subscribe to it from within iTunes. When you add your content to the iTunes store, it makes your content available to anyone who use the iTunes software application. Adding your folder or playlist to the iTunes store also makes your content searchable from within iTunes.

In order to upload to the iTunes store, you must have:

  • The iTunes application installed on your computer.
  • An iTunes account.
  • Your content approved. All content uploaded to the iTunes Store is evaluated by a moderator. This process takes 2-3 days. During this time, the content is not available for viewing.
  • iTunes compatible content in your folders or playlist. Any content in a folder or playlist not iTunes compatible is not sent to the iTunes feed.

There are two parts to uploading to the iTunes store:

1. Enabling the iTunes feed on your folder or playlist within Screencast.com.

2. Submitting the content to the iTunes store using the iTunes application.

We have given you an overview of the iTunes submission process below. For more in-depth instructions, read the iTunes Store Help Center article.

iTunes Store Submission Overview

  1. Within your Screencast.com folder or playlist, click the iTunes icon . The RSS Subscription page appears.
  2. Within the URL field at the top of the browser window, copy the entire URL (it should end in itunes).
  3. Open the iTunes application.
  4. In the left navigation pane, click on the iTunes Store link. The store appears on the right side.
  5. In the iTunes Store group box, click Podcasts. The view of the store will change to reflect your selection.
  6. Scroll to the very bottom of the page to the Learn More group box.
  7. Click Submit a Podcast. The Submission page appears.
  8. Paste the URL into the field provided.
  9. Click Continue. Follow the prompts through the iTunes wizard. Once your podcast is accepted, it will become available in the iTunes Store.

Wonderful. Now, how do I change the metadata so iTunes captures the length of my podcast, the explicit/clean designation (it's clean, I promise!), the full name of the artist (me), the release date, and description?

Thanks! Have some live stuff from my band to upload

I'm also curious if Screencast.com has a way to create/edit iTunes specific metadata for a podcast, particularly album artwork (the tag). Just having the ability to point the feed to a specific image in the folder would really help give a professional look to a video podcast.

I have released an album of instrumental music and would like to upload it to itunes. I am wondering if that music were to be accepted by itunes, if and how I might be compensated for it as it is downloaded by customers around the world. Could someone please let me know how to proceed from this point. Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi Charlie,

Do you mean you just want to get your music in iTunes locally or are you trying to get them on the iTunes store for the public?

This seems like it might be helpful for getting your music imported: http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-importing

What is really telling is how personal individuals take every thing you write as seen in their comments.

I think the iTunes is still the best option if you want to keep your music in a safe place. I suppose this is the best way to make your files available for download and access online. Best regards, Daniel, rca ieftin
