Sound files?

Postby Marshdrifter » August 24th, 2007 2:39 am

I can't seem to get the sound files from the premium feed or the website itself. I keep getting error messages on both when I try. I got the pdfs ok in the premium feed in iTunes.

Anybody else having that problem? Is it just me? Can it get fixed?

I'm having trouble pulling down the MP3 audio files as well; almost seems like the site they are stored on is down or has lost its domain name. Doh!

Temporary solution

It is probably bad form to reply to my own reply, but I received a quick reply from the very helpful folks at the email address. Apparently there was an issue with the DNS for the site that hosts the MP3 files, so this problem should resolve within the next few days automatically.

In the meanwhile, if you want to patch it on your own machine (if you are impatient, like me!), assuming you are on Windows XP, you can add the following lines to the file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on your computer (using Notepad or some other text editing program).

216.246.5.5 media.libsyn.com
38.100.193.81 media.libsyn.com
205.234.175.175 cache.libsyn.com

Give it a shot! That fixed it for me, hopefully it will for you as well.
