Wouldn't know as I refuse to jump on that bandwagon. Better just by not being iTunes IMHO.

As Brian said you can force ID3 tag data for the 3 major tags (genre, album, artist) & track number with the feedname, album, artist, genre, date, & time or any text you fill in. Also it handles getting a .torrent from an RSS feed then passing it on to your BT client for download. It can associate any external program you want for a given file type like having .avi's or .mp3's download & launch you media player, etc...

Some of the other RSS downloaders like FireAnt have an annoying system of downloading the file as a huge hex name that only they know what it is and basically force you to use their built-in player to view them. Never mind all the brain dead ones like Sage & WizzRSS for Firefox that require you manually choose to download the enclosure.

A complaint is that it seems to be CPU intensive when actually downloading, which I solve by changing priority from 8 to 6 so that it is a lower than all my other processes but not so low that it's is idle only.

BTW, if you haven't caught TikiBarTV it's worth a d/l as it is hilarious. The most recent ep has a guest from the BSG TV show as one of the actresses playing an alien come to Earth to learn to dance from the lovely Lala.

Someone back a bit asked about good podcast download software and if
they didn't mention it, let me.

Doppler has solved by d/l woes and unlike Fireant keeps original file
names, creates folders for the feed, tags, and supports external viewers
and programs.
