Since I know you run Ubuntu my first thought would be to run: $ apt-cache search ipod which should come up with a list of packages directly relating to the iPod. I don't own an iPod and I'm not aggregating or automating downloads of podcasts, but running the command above (on Debian Sid) I note that the 'gpodder' and 'hpodder' packages specfically list being a "podcast catcher" (podcast downloader) in their description, along with syncing to the ipod. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Mar 5 - Wearable Linux Computing Apr 2 - Building a Kernel the Debian / Ubuntu way May 7 - Setting up a platform-independent home/small office network using Linux Jun 4 - TBD Jul 2 - KVM (Tenative)
