That's great. Now gPodder has experimental support for the iPod Touch :) > On the downside, the track processing is slow as hell because of the whole > SSH thing.

Ah well, that's > the price of using beta software I guess. :) The delay after sync is caused by gPodder when it calls the "sync" command from the OS. This is done so all caches get flushed and all data written to disk. In case someone disconnects the MP3 player or iPod from the USB port, the data will not be lost, because all pending writes have been flushed to the disk. libgpod is to blame for the broken artwork (I guess ;). > So, in conclusion: gPodder can copy podcasts to my device, but it takes a > little longer than usual.

If you mount the iPod via ssh, does this mean that you can wirelessly copy podcasts to your iPod or is it still connected via USB? > By the way, gPodder doesn't seem to handle enhanced podcasts ( > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_podcast) such as > http://www.cbcradio3.com/podcast/trackoftheday/ the proper way. Why is that? The link you sent from cbcradio3 only contains MP3 files, maybe the enhanced podcast feed is something different? From what I read on the Wikipedia page, an enhanced podcast is simply a Quicktime movie file, which I guess should work on the iPod just normally. Try syncing the feed via iTunes and then via gPodder, and if there is a difference, gPodder has to set some flags in the iTunesDB for the iPod to recognize the new "type" of podcast (btw: wikipedia also states that this "enhanced podcast" thing is quite new and unsupported. I could imagine the videos to not even play correctly/at all when one does not have the quicktime player installed).
