[Banshee-List] Podcasts and Audiobooks with iPod Classic

[Juan Lara <juanflara gmail com>]

Hello all,

I really like Banshee to manage my music, but when it comes to Podcasts and Audiobooks, it doesn't do what I expect. Here is my situation:

• I own a Apple Clasic iPod 120G
• I can manage my music with no problems
• When I try to either Drag&Drop or Sync podcasts, the podcasts appear in a Playlist as music, they do not show up under the Podcast section of the iPod menu
• When I try to Sync the podcasts, it "syncs" all the episodes listed, even those that are not downloaded
• If I try to play any of the podcasts on the iPod, they will not play, even from Banshee

With the audiobooks it is different:

• I have *.m4b files in a directory. Banshee does not see those files
• I put mp3's, ogg files in the same directory for Audiobooks and Banshee fails to see them
• If I just take the m4b files and drag them to the iPod, they don't show in Audiobooks, I have to look for them in Genders-->Spoken Word

This is what I have installed:

banshee                                           1.8.0-1ubuntu1~hyper1+maverick                    Media Management and Playback application

banshee-extension-soundmenu           1.8.0-1ubuntu1~hyper1+maverick                    SoundMenu extension for Banshee

banshee-extensions-common              1.8.0-1ubuntu1~hyper1+maverick                    common files for banshee-community-extensions

Ubuntu 10.10, Kernel 2.6.35-22-generic

Is Banshee working as it is supposed to, am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with Banshee and podcasts?

Thanks,

JL
