Cast Away - Gain control over iTunes' podcast aging
Authored by: DocMan on Nov 22, '05 04:14:12AM

I did this by createing an "Unplayed Podcasts" Smart Playlist. Really simple. Podcast is true AND Playcount is less than 1. If the podcast is on the playlist, it will be copied to the iPod, but won't be available from the podcast menu, just the playlist.

"it will be copied to the iPod, but won't be available from the podcast menu, just the playlist."

That is the problem. The iPod treats podcasts differently in playlists than in the "Podcasts" section.

I have used smart playlists to make this almost automatic (I have a "Played Podcasts" playlist that is "only checked songs" with playcount >0; I uncheck whatever is in there periodically), but I want full automation as it should work (I can't see the current setup as useful to very many people).
