You do have to build the connection because Lotus Notes document format could be whatever you design. If you don't know where to start, try running the export agent in the project and then looking at XML output. Compare that against field definitions in Lotus Designer to get a feel at the parity between what you see on screen and what is under the covers. Then, you will know what the next step should be.

Until you spent a bit of time staring at Lotus Notes XML dump and figuring out what information you need to extract for it, there is not much other help anybody would be able to offer you.

And I had to update the address for the bank because they kept blocking my Credit Card transactions as being in a foreign country. So yeah, a good idea - did not work for me. Maybe it is different bank to bank. Actually, I kept the old address in USA and that stopped working some time after I updated the real address for the bank.

It worked for me, even though I updated the address with my bank. I have separate US iTunes and Australian iTunes accounts. Did you try changing the address to your last US address?

No sniffing, no sifting, just plain old copy & paste. And i did realize it was quite an old post, but in my googling for an answer (before i came up with one) i came across many pages, like yours, that im now going back and commenting on (because theres little to no solutions out there) in case someone else comes across it same as i did.

I am not surprised it got a bit easier since. Hi Lasavior,

Nice link, but it did come 5 (FIVE!) years after the original solution. I am not surprised it got a bit easier since.

I have an easier solution: http://itunes.so-nik.com A simple script i created a few months ago that can either search the iTunes store directly, or you can paste an iTunes podcast link. Either way, it will return the DIRECT url for the podcast feed. I created the script to work from either a mobile phone or a desktop web browser, so have at it. Note: for the user that mentioned its in the mp3 files, its also in the page that itunes retrieves in a tag called 'feed-url' which is what i retrieve.
