Re: [Banshee-List] First Ipod Connect

[derek vandivere net]

I think you're right - just had this on my gen 5 video iPod. Quick
question on podcasts and iPod sync: does Banshee (okay, podsleuth) sync
them in a way that the podcasts will show up in the ipod podcast
directory?

If not, has anyone come up with a good way (a script, maybe?) to handle
podcasts as opposed to music that'll permanently stay on the iPod? What
I'd really like is (no surprise) functionality like iTunes gives - sync
all the unlistened podcasts and delete them automagically after they've
been completely listened to...

Though I'd better stay away from all things technical this month: work
laptop just got replaced due to bad battery connection, waiting on the new
mobo for my Ubuntu laptop, Saab had its rear wheels stolen a few weeks
ago, the engine in my MGB blew up last week, and I'm about to go try to
fix the boat engine. What fun!
