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

Even though I couldn’t assist to MIX this year - I’m stocked in South Korea pursuing my Master’s in HCI - I have been watching on-line some of the sessions that caught my attention from the conference, specially those on User Experience.

Just as previous years, Microsoft did a terrific job at making most of this year’s sessions available on the web within the first 24 hours from them happening, and for people like me, between that and twitter, it felt almost like been there in person – of course, if staying late at night in the Lab with no beers IS like been there - but you get what I mean.

Sadly, though, just as last year, there was no friendly way to get access to ALL of the session’s videos in batch (alas RSS) - and no the RSS feed from the sessions page doesn’t give access to ALL of videos – or if on the other hand, a way existed where there were an RSS feed who aggregated all, iTunes (my preferred way to Podcasts) only displays the latest 50 episodes of a show, which is nowhere convenient either.

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, go 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.


iPod*:
RSS for the first 50 and the rest 11.


*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!
