Hi Sev, It seems to me that if you download the mp3 file - ie the download audio link (for Radio National) then iTunes handles it like a music file (with a genre of podcast) - however if you subscribe to the podcast then iTunes puts them in the Podcasts library.
I'm also finding this frustrating - I have some "By Design" podcasts which I downloaded using my old iMac (OSX 10.2 & iTunes3) but have since subscribed to the "By Design" podcast using my new iMac (OSX 10.4.9 & iTunes 7.1.1) - the new podcasts are in the Podcasts library but the old podcasts, which I have added to my library (and which are no longer available as a podcast download) are in the Music library. I want all the "By Design" podcasts in the same spot on the browser - I don't even care that much if it is under podcasts or music (though podcasts WOULD be more logical) - however after trying several approaches eg moving the actual files (using finder) both into and out of the podcasts folder, adding podcast files using the "add to library command" for files physically located in both in and out of the podcasts folder, still iTunes stubbornly displays them as either podcasts or music in the browser. So... If anyone knows a workaround, I also would be very happy! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
