Using ipodder and Connect

Hiya guys

Just got the jist of podcasting and have got a copy of ipodder. Found some nice podcasts which i've subscribed to etc and have downloaded them, trouble is ipodder doesn't recognise Connect. Only iTunes, WMP and winamp.

Now i know this isn't a major problem cos i can import the downloaded podcasts myself. It would just be nice to have it fully automated like it should be.

Does anyone know of any other podcast recievers which will recognise Connect so it will create a playlist for my podcasts??

Hope you can help

With podcasts I've set up a seperate folder which my podcast software (Nimiq) downloads the 'casts into. I've then set this folder up to be 'watched' by Connect Player, you can do this in the preferences under tools.

This means the podcasts get uploaded to my NWA 3K but there is no way I've seen of generating playlists automatically I'm afraid

Cool thanks fella i'll try that!!

Am i right in saying though i say we were using itunes it would generate a playlist for you??

What is this exactly?? Would it create a list of the latest podcasts??

What i'm doing is when they are in connect i'm setting the genre as podcast so when i'm using my player they can all be loacted quickly!!

would you ssay thats the best way??

Also i've mentioned this already. I'm finding sometimes connect is making two artist sections of the same artist. I've made sure that its all in the same case lettering but its still keeping them as two.

Any ideas??

Are you "sure" the artist is really the same? Empty spaces at the beginning or end of the artist field could cause the problem you are seeing. Also realize that there are TWO artist fields in the Connect Player: the track artist and the album artist. If these two don't match then you'll get two different artists. This allows you to have a compilation album that shows up as "Various" while keeping the artist for each track.
