A good idea although a little harder. The easiest way would probably involve having a dialogue box in the settings of each podcast (the area where you can select whether that podcast gets synced up or if you have to do it manually) where you would set the genre. Whereas setting the album can be a lot more automated. Still, I do like your idea.
I guess we need to submit a bug report? Or how are features properly suggested with gPodder? -- Eric Mesa http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 9:56 AM, Hal Wilke <[email protected]> wrote: > I like this idea.
