內容簡介
在 WordPress 中製作播客需要什麼？什麼都不需要-WordPress 自動為您的 RSS 供稿放置附件。這是最基本的設置，也足夠使用。
但如果還能有 iTunes 元數據的話就更好了。不同分類中的不同信息呢？Podcast Channels 可以讓您指定主頁供稿、特定分類供稿甚至是“自定義”（“條件”）供稿（請見常見問題解答）的 iTunes 元數據。
設置分類頻道
進入“媒體”-“播客頻道”頁面設置網站默認值（對於 2.7 之前的 WP，請進入“管理”-“播客頻道”）。如果您不滿意灰色顯示的默認值，請單擊字段以設置自己的值。如果您希望主博客頁面供稿使用此數據，請勾選“添加到主頁供稿”選項。
若要添加播客頻道，請從下拉菜單中選擇博客分類，然後單擊“添加分類頻道”。當新的頻道彈出時，在其中有一個“添加字段…”下拉菜單可讓您指定覆蓋站點默認值的此頻道的默認值。
如果某個字段未定義/為空或與默認值相同，則它將從通道定義中刪除，這意味著該值恢復到站點默認值。
不繼承的字段
兩個字段是特定於頻道的，不繼承儲存於站點默認值內：
“轉到供稿”的用途是告訴您的播客用戶（以及 iTunes 目錄），該播客頻道正在移至新的 URL。
“Feedburner URL”將大多數訪客（而不包括 Feedburner 網站！）重定向到 Feedburner URL，以便收集統計信息。
媒體庫中的音頻文件
當您上傳音頻文件時，Podcast Channels 會在媒體庫中添加“艺术家”、“持續時間”和“內容警示”字段。它最初填充藝術家和持續時間的信息當中的 ID3 標籤，但您可以自由編輯這些字段。
請務必將內容警示標記設置為“Yes”，如果內容不適合兒童。如果您不這樣做，蘋果可能會從 iTunes 目錄中刪除您的播客。
版權和圖片
如果在“設置”-“常規”中的額外字段中指定了版權和圖片信息，Podcast Channels 將在所有供稿中添加這些信息（請參閱屏幕截圖）。

原文外掛簡介
What do you need to podcast with WordPress? Nothing — WordPress puts enclosures in the feed for you. That’s the bare bones and it works well enough.
But iTunes metadata would be nice. And, how about different info in different categories? Podcast Channels lets you specify iTunes metadata for the home feed, specific category feeds, and even ‘user defined’ (‘Conditional’) feeds (see the FAQ).
Setting up Category Channels
Go to the ‘Media > Podcast Channels’ page to set up the Site Defaults (it’s ‘Manage > Podcast Channels’ for pre-2.7 WP). If you are not happy with the defaults shown in grey, click in the fields to set your own. If you want the main blog page feed to use this data, tick the ‘add to Home Feed’ option.
To add a podcast channel, choose a blog category from the drop-down menu and click ‘Add Category Channel’. When the new channel pops up, there is an ‘Add field…’ drop-down menu in it that lets you specify defaults for this channel that over-ride the site defaults.
Leave a field undefined/blank or the same as the default and it will be removed from the channel definition – which means the value reverts to the site default.
Fields that don’t inherit
Two fields are channel specific and do not inherit from the site defaults:
‘Feed Moving To’ is used to tell your podcast users (and the iTunes directory) that the podcast channel is moving to a new URL.
‘Feedburner URL’ redirects everyone (except the Feedburner site!) to a Feedurner URL so that they can collect stats for you.
Audio Files in the Media Library
When you upload an audio file, Podcast Channels adds ‘Artist’, ‘Duration’ and ‘Explicit’ fields to the Media Library. It initially fills in the artist and duration with the information found in the ID3 tags, but you are free to edit the fields.
Remember to set the explicit flag to ‘Yes’ if the content is not suitable for children. Apple are likely to de-list your podcast from the iTunes directory if you do not.
Copyright and Image
Podcast Channels adds image and copyright info to all your feeds if you specify it in the extra fields in ‘Settings > General’ (see screenshots).
