No clue, but I don't think so.. GoldenPod is only for rss feeds.

Three. :)

Especially interesting and on-topic is BSDtalk by Will Backman. It's not 
as hands-on as I'd like, but still informative. Maybe someone will find 
time to do an audio howto netcast for BSD. That would be awesome. It's 
not like there's a shortage of topics, anyway.


I must confess to using Creative's Windows Explorer plugin to populate 
my Zen V. It's not great software, but it's the best I've seen yet. :| 
Hey, maybe your recommendation supports the Zen V [or, at a pinch, the

Actually I had already looked into those before I posted. Neither castget 
nor podcatcher support any retention settings like the other software I 
listed. Castpodder hasn't seen development in a year and the website is 
gone, so it appears abandoned.

Nop, we're two ;-)

Take a look into GoldenPod. there is not a port for this one yet,
but it should be pretty straight forward to install it.

I'm using it on my FreeBSD, but I'm unsure if it will fullfill your
demands.

When you download new podcasts, Goldenpod downloads into a directery
with the name of the date, for example 2007-08-28.

At the same time symbolic links are made from the files in this new
directery to a directery called 'latest'.

..and for each subscription there is a directory with same name as the
subscription. In this directery GoldenPod also will make a symbolic link
to the date directory files which belongs to this subscription.

GoldenPod has some kind of graphic configuration, but I have never used
it. GoldenPod is commandline driven.

Check http://goldenpod.nongnu.org/ where you also will find the man
page.

Does any of these programs look good enough?

multimedia/podcatcher

  Armangil's podcatcher is a podcast client for the command line. It
  provides several download strategies (new shows only, back-catalog
  allowed, etc), supports BitTorrent, offers cache management, and
  generates playlists for MP3 player applications.

  This application accepts one or more feeds (RSS or Atom) or
  subscription lists (OPML or iTunes PCAST) as argument, in the form of
  URLs or filenames. Alternatively, it tries to read one such document
  from the standard input.

  and handling of podcast's to your mp3 player.
