How can I use the Yahoo! Jukebox to subscribe to podcasts?

All the Yahoo "Help" pages mentions a required plugin, and the links there lead to a 404 or redirect to the "Gallery" where search turns up nothing. When I click on the "Subscribe" link in Yahoo podcast directory listings, it downloads a .pcast file that the computer doesn't know what to do with. Telling it to launch in Yahoo! Jukebox does nothing. Thoughts?

Well, I can't specifically answer the Jukebox how-to, but Yahoo actually has a dedicated podcasts site where you can subscribe to whatever. Check it out here:



http://podcasts.yahoo.com/



Also, I found this snippet in the Podcasts Help menu:



Find a podcast you like, then click “Subscribe.” When you do this, you’ll actually be downloading a small text file called a “.pcast” file. This tells your music software (like the Yahoo! Music Engine or Apple iTunes) what podcast to download. Then you can get notifications of new episodes whenever they're available.



Get the Yahoo! Music Engine with Podcast Plug-in. Already have the Yahoo! Music Engine? Get the Podcast Plug-in.



Is is possible you need the Yahoo Music Engine?
