First, I had trouble of getting my installer to recognize my internal hard-drive. After a bit of struggling, I found a post in the Apple Discussion Forum that advised people to wait about 5 minutes or so to get the installer to recognize the hard-drive. And so it did and I was able to get the installation started.

Once the installation was over and rebooted, the computer was stuck in the so called “Blue Screen of Death” for Mac. I forcefully rebooted the machine several times, hoping it will generate the 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity to power up my Leopard but with no luck. Later found out that it was a stupid move that could have fried my hard-drive. And of course, I didn’t have any backup.

After reading through a long thread of posts again in the Apple Discussion Forum, found out that the problem was due to the incompatibility of Application Enhancer (APE) on Leopard and in order to fix the problem I had to either restart the installation process or start up as a single-user mode and manually delete the APE. But oddly for me none of the bootup key sequence was working so I couldn’t restart the installation process nor start up as a single-user mode. So I replaced my keyboard with my previous one and voilà. I could login as single-user mode and delete the files and everything worked fine from then on.

One thing he wished he knew though was how to put subchapters into his enhanced podcasts. A subchapter is a chapter that has just a link or an image but no title. With subchapters you can have loads of images and links without every one of them taking a spot in the chapters list in iTunes.

Well, to add a subchapter in Podcast Maker all you have to do is make a chapter with a blank title. It will then show the title of the parent chapter in grayed out text as you can see in the following screenshot:

As you can see in the screenshot, the subchapters have markers that are shorter too.

iTunes updated its Podcast categories with their recent update (iTunes 6.0.5). I, personally, like the new sets of categories. They seem better organized and more appropriate for the list of podcasts in iTunes Music Store.

And yes, you should soon be expecting an update for Podcast Maker that reflects the changes.

Some users use this feature to make a “template” for their enhanced podcasts. Although you can still do that, in more recent versions of Podcast Maker you can just copy paste the chapters from older episodes.

One more thing. If you are going to turn your slides into chapter images, bump up the maximum chapter image size in the preferences. The default is the Apple recommended 300×300, but at that size your slides will not be legible.

With this release we are now selling Podcast Maker in our own online store. Thanks to the flexibility of the new store, we were able to team up with Rogue Amoeba to bring you a killer deal. You probably know about Audio Hijack Pro. It’s a fantastic program for recording and enhancing audio from any application, especially for podcasting. Many podcasters already have it in their arsenal so you might be going, “meh…”, just about now, but if you don’t have yours yet, your purchase will be made easier when you get Podcast Maker because you will get an exclusive $5 off coupon. Current Podcast Maker users will also be able to get their coupon at the usual update page. Everyone should take advantage of this since Audio Hijack Pro is such a cool program.

I should also mention that people who purchase Podcast Maker will be able to get Voice Candy for a mere $9.95 as a bundle deal now.

So that’s it. A great update and some great deals!

You might be wondering how I can tell. We tag each episode file enhanced with Podcast Maker with its version number so that we can provide smarter customer support. You too can see this version number in the info panel in iTunes.

The other thing that is interesting, is that this is the only podcast that I have seen that has a purchase date. Could this be a hint of things to come?
