** As I've pointed out, 8.2.1. doesn't have what I want whereas it sounds
as if 9.0>9.1.1 may well be able to deliver at least as to re-identifying
podcasts with the correct media tag for that.

** A USB 2 card solves that issue. Don't think I'd necessarily be willing
to up it to a G4 just for the purpose. I'll have to look more into the iTunes
