Customer Reviews
iPhone Problems
Hey everyone Jeff (Rubin Jeff Rubin) here and I'm not just leaving a review to bulk up my numbers.
I think the problem with iPhones is due to a bug in iOS. Apparently, as of iOS 4.3, there's often trouble when you try to download an enhanced podcast directly onto your phone using the iTunes app. This usually results in a "Cannot Play on this iPhone" error.
I swear the file is good and plays on iPhones. It should work if you get the file on your PC iTunes, then synch it to your phone. Really annoying, I know. I like to grab podcasts using my iPhone too.
I sincerely apologize. I think the enhanced stuff, like built-in pictures and links, is worth it. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS5 (or sooner).
You can also always get the regular MP3 version at JeffRubinJeffRubinShow.com.
Jeff Rubin is like my hero or w/e
It feels like he takes everything I'm into, makes it some how cooler, and then turns it into something I can subscribe and listen to
<3
Hilarious. Interesting. Thought-provoking. Innovative. Jeff Rubin Show.
