How to play IndieFeed song-after-song

If you use iTunes to get your IndieFeed podcasts, you may have noticed that it's not easy to hear all your  favorite IndieFeed songs play continuously.  This is partly because Apple has designed its podcast functions to not allow this, otherwise every time you access one voice podcast you may end up hearing all the archives.  This is good functionality for long-format voice podcasts, not so great for short format music podcasts like IndieFeed.

How do you solve this?  Easy, create a Smart Playlist!.  In the dropdown window:  go to File---New Smart Playlist.  On the form at "Artist" keep "contains" and enter:

IndieFeed.com community

Then press the plus button next to the last form and another one opens up.  Depending on what IndieFeed show you want to put in this playlist you would change "Artist" to "Album," keep "contains," amd then add one of the following (these represent "Album" names for podcasting purposes):

IndieFeed: Alternative / Modern Rock Music
IndieFeed: Indie Pop Music
IndieFeed: Big Shed Audio Documentaries
IndieFeed: Blues Music
IndieFeed: Electronica Music
IndieFeed: Hip Hop Music
IndieFeed: Performance Poetry

That should do it.  Now access that playlist and you get the music playing song-after-song.  If you want to mix and match IndieFeed channels into one Playlist just add more Album designations into the same playlist.

Cheers!
