Want to easily catch the Mix09 videos for your Zune/iPod? Here’s a couple complete RSS feeds to catch…

Samiq Bits - MIX 09 Sessions Video Podcast RSS for iPod & Zune Available Here

“…

So thanks to Mike Swanson who posted a friendly list to click and choose videos from the sessions, a few minutes with Excel, LINQ and C#. Here I give you the RSS feeds (divided in chunks of 50 items per feed) to the MIX videos that have been made available until now.

So, now got get your preferred Podcast software to point to this babies, lay back, relax and wait for your videos to download.

Now who said there were not a convenient way to get the Mix conference with you on your device?!

Enjoy!

Zune*:

RSS for the first 50, second 50, and the remained 19. [GD: Please click through to the post to get the links. I don’t want to leach all his traffic]

iPod*:

RSS for the first 50 and the rest 11. [GD: Please click through to the post to get the links.]

*Disclaimer: As per Mike’s post there are 119 videos available in Zune format and 61 in MP4 format, so be aware of that when looking for your session of choice and you don’t find it, it might be because it’s not in the list yet. Cheers!”

Why is this cool, when there’s already a RSS feed with enclosures (http://videos.visitmix.com/rss )? Because that feed only has the 50 entries (that I can tell) and so is not the complete list. Plus the above feeds are focused toward specific devices, making the catching/conversion cleaner.

sigh… I SO should have thought of doing this. I had all the data and creating the feeds from it would have been a slam dunk. Next time (unless we get a ConfAPI from MS…  :)

On a related note, I had to chuckle when I saw Mike Swanson’s Mix09 List post. Great minds and all that? Still I beat him by a day and I released the code for mine. Muahahaha LOL… But I do like how he included presenters and a file renamer batch file… those are nice touches. ;)
