Importing Podcast RSS

  • I’m relaunching a new site, instituting a wordpress installation. The existing site has an RSS feed of podcasts. Is there a way to import this in a way so that all that all of the items are posts with links to the audio files?

    I tried Import/RSS; it pulled in titles and descriptions (as the post body) but didn’t create any links to the MP3s.

    I’m thinking I might be able to do this by hacking the <link> into the <description>, but is there another way? Here is a sample of the XML in the existing RSS.


    <item>
    <title>This is the title</title>
    <description>Hey there this is a description</description>
    <link>https://www.mysite.com/Audio/2008/august08Part3.mp3</link>
    <pubdate>9/16/2008 2:11:08 AM</pubdate>
    <enclosure url="https://www.mysite.com/Audio/2008/august08Part3.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
    <guid>https://www.mysite.com/Audio/2008/august08Part3.mp3</guid>
    </item>
