Tom,
Thanks for trying to answer my question but unfortunately your answer
needs some translation for this neophyte.
In particular
1) What is meant by "mount the iPod as a disk"?
2) What are some of the "several third-party programs"?
3) What is meant by "access the volume"?
4) How does one use FTP?
5) How does seeing the iTunes directories help when I am trying to
capture archived files that are not on iTunes?
I understand that Yahoo has a capability similar to iTunes. Does anyone
know how they compare?

If you mount the iPod as a disk the directories used by iTunes are
hidden. However there are several third-party programs that will give you
access to them. In fact, if you access the volume using FTP you can see
these directories too.
I pretty much only use my iPod for podcasts and I've gotten them from
many sources. However, I believe you have to transfer them to the
iPod via iTunes. Even when I was Windows only I used iTunes to make
the transfer. I've never tried using any other method. I know you
can see your iPOd as an external disk in My Computer when it's
attached so you could theoretically drag the podcast over to that
'drive' but I don't know how you would find it to play it. iTunes is
free and works with Windows so that would be the most trouble free
way to go.
