Hi Paul

I've been looking into some of this stuff as well (particularly the 
syncing/autofill). Since its your GSOC project I'll step back and let 
you tackle that.

At the moment I'm looking at having rhythmbox be able to import podcasts 
downloaded by an external application (like podget). There may be some 
crossover with the stuff you are working on so I'll keep in touch.

Cheers
Dave
