How to I export my podcasts list to OPML?

And I've checked on my Mac and it works exactly the same way that I have both described and illustrated.

If it isn't working for you then perhaps you need to reinstall iTunes. Check the starting condition. Select Podcasts in the sidebar first.

My commute is a half-hour cycle ride. One episode is usually enough for me so I've not noticed that issue. I also use Siri to control my device when I'm on the move. Use Feedback - iPhone - Apple to let Apple know about the shortcomings with the app. Smart playlists might be a workaround.

Try selecting the Podcasts section of the library first, then you should get an option under File > Library > Export Playlist... for exporting Podcasts Subscription files (*.opml) with a suggested filename of Podcasts.opml.

tt2 - my apologies ... I was searching the forums and didn't notice that this is iTunes for Windows. I'm a Mac user and evidently this feature was there up thru iTunes 11 but was removed in iTunes 12. Sorry again for the confusion...

Don't know ... this was my first attempt at creating an OPML file ... and after all that it didn't give me what I was hoping for anyway. 😟 I was hoping that - in addition to the podcasts themselves - it would contain information on which episodes of each podcast I had listened to and which I hadn't. But it didn't.

And so I went back and forth between Podcasts and Overcast and made sure I redownloaded the episodes I needed. Unfortunately, there are two podcasts where I'm working thru back episodes and will just have to try to remember what I've listened to and haven't.

And all because Apple took the working just fine Podcasts app in iOS 10 (and earlier) and broke it to the point of unusability in iOS 11... 😠

There are a number of changes they've made that are aggravations (no list view of podcasts anymore, for one example) and there is one absolute show-stopper for me ... if you have multiple episodes of a podcast they used to play one after the other automatically. Now they don't. Since I listen to podcasts while driving that's an absolute show-stopper. I know that you can manually add podcasts to "play next" but why should I have to do more work to compensate for Apple taking away valuable features when they release "upgrades"?!?

This is iTunes 12.7.0.166 running on Windows. 😉

This no longer works in iTunes 12 ... does anybody know of any way to export an OPML file from either iTunes 12 or directly from Apple's Podcasts app in iOS 11???

Thanks tt2, but it's not there in iTunes 12...

What version of iTunes and macOS are you running? I'm running iTunes 12.7.0.166 on High Sierra and I do not have OPML as a choice.

Wait - it's under the podcasts on the Mac ... not the podcasts on the device ...

Yep. Why, was it ever possible to export the subscription list from the device? 😕

I don't have any trouble using the Podcasts app in iOS 11. 😕
