Sorry, techmate...no answers here (not even on the last question).

I wondered this myself. We were lucky enough that a listener submitted G&G to the Zune marketplace...but I've wondered how we can get our other podcasts in there as well.

Here is what you do.

First, you need to download and install the Zune Marketplace application. It's kind of like iTunes but not as good.

Then, you need an account for it. This should be no surprise. You don't need a Zune to do either of these.

Then, you go to the podcast section and there is a link to submit it.

It's that simple. But, that doesn't mean it will show up. I did all of this and SAP still hadn't shown up the last time I looked. :-(

Thanks Matt,
When I get home from work Ill try out your steps and see if it works. Post back when SAP shows up there. Im wondering how long it takes once its submitted before its live.

Thanks guys

I have submitted my feed several times.

It still is not showing up but I have heard it takes a while. I am growing tired of being patient. It's becoming a test of my sanctification. ;)

I really like the Zune software. The only issue I really have with it is this submission issue. It's a pain in the butt.

Also, there are plenty of instructions out there on how to add a Zune 1-Click Chicklet to your site. Just Google it and you will find plenty of instructions. Not a good fix but a temporary one.

Maybe I just have been using iTunes for too long, but I think the interface of the zune software is horrible. Just doesn't seem as well laid out as iTunes and things aren't as easy to find. Whereas itunes even from day one I thought was pretty easy.

I guess its only....what... version one right now. I'm sure it will improve. The new zune player is actually pretty nice though.

I got my Zune in December. I have posted our feed for review at least 30 times. It still hasn't shown up.

Has anyone had ANY luck submitting to this?

I did see the GeeksandGod cast there a bit back. I'll have to fire up the PC and check if my Church's cast is up yet.

Geeks and God was in there the last time I looked. But, I have not been able to get any others to show up no matter how many or how few times I have submitted them. And, Geeks and God was (thankfully) submitted by someone else.

On The Podcasting Underground 32 there is an interview with Rob Greenlee , "Microsoft Zune Podcast Programming and Marketing Lead", which you might find useful listening when adding your show to the Zune Marketplace.

Thanks Ed. Im going to listen to that one for sure.

On that episode of The Podcasting Underground Mr. Greenlee gave out his email address. I sent him an email for my feeds and he put them in promptly.

Our Zune subscriptions have increased 5 fold from being in the Marketplace.

Hey rebornembpowered. I have been submitting my church's podcast for months no results. I was hoping you could help me. The podcast mentioned above is no longer there, so I can't got get Mr Greeniee's email. Could you shoot me an email with it? techies@shec.net
Many thanks.
