This is a follow-up from my POD-igy repo.

I realized that there was no easy way to extract the RSS feeds from your podcast app. I use iTunes on my desktop for downloading my podcasts. So I created this repo that extracts the podcasts from your iTunes folder and provides you with the RSS feeds.

1. Download this repo to your disk.
2. Open your command prompt and navigate to this repo
3. Enter the repo:
   cd Podcast-Feed-Extractor
   
4. Install the requirements:
   pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Find the path to your iTunes folder. By default, on Windows, it is installed at “C:\Users<user>\Music\iTunes”
6. Run this code:
   python3 podcast.py <path of the iTunes folder as identified in step 5>
7. The output files are as follows:
   1. A pickle file (podcast_feed.pkl) (if you want to load the dictionary { podcast_name : rss_feed} for further manipulation in python
   2. A text file (error_podcasts): A text file that contains the names of podcasts whose RSS feeds could not be identified
   3. A text file (rss_feeds): A text file that contains the name of podcasts and the RSS URL for each podcast

Sample output files are available in the sample_outputs folder
