Podcast Software

Since the demise of my iPod, I've since purchased a Sansa E250 as a replacement. Looking to move off of iTunes, I'm currently looking for something that rss aggregates all my podcasts. Here are the programs I am trying (currently one):

1. PodPuppy - Subscribes and includes a sync directory feature which I use with the Sansa. So far, not bad.
   1. The Author is very responsive on his forums, open to suggestions and very accommodating when the request makes sense.
   2. The recently released ver .5 beta has a few more new features and it's worth checking out.
2. Podcast Synch Batch File - The old fashion way: by batch file and also the start of a Perl script
   1. Not overly user friendly, but it works for me in that sort of 'I wrote it to do that' kinda way.
   2. Debating on cutting it down just to remove files from the On The Go Playlist, though I have started to use it to synch Audiobooks that I put in the Podcast directory.

Unsubscribed

1. rss - Security Podcasts
   1. Poor audio quality (interview settings sounded public and open, hard to listen to)
2. rss - Rock and Roll Geek Show
   1. I just stopped caring about this one enough to listen to the whole show. Removed it today.
3. rss - FOO Casts: Podcasts from O'Reilly and Friends
   1. Too random for my liking. Unsubscribed
