Does anyone know how to play these back once you've downloaded them and put them on your mp3 player?

Come on Terry, perhaps you should have sprted that out before you converted your shows to podcasts.

Just in case you are not the real Terry Wogan.... they will be played just the same as any other file given they are just an MP3 file like any regualr music file. The seceret however will be finding where they have been put, there doesn't seem to be a consistent naming format, the BBC for example either list the Artist as the Station Name but also some times the shows name.

I can find them. I can even play them on my laptop. But when I put them on my mp3 player, it just comes up 'File Error' and won't play.

What type of file are they? Can you give an example, i.e., a link, to one of the podcasts you've been trying to play?

[terrywogan]

It says it's an MP3 audio file and it's from - wait for it! - wake up to wogan on Radio 2!! I tried to copy and paste but it didn't work.

Can you play it on your computer in media player? Then basically try and add it like you normally do with regular mp3 music..

[terrywogan]

Yes - I have no problem playing it back on my computer. It's just when I drop them into my mp3 player the message 'Error File' comes up and I don't know how to deal with it.
