"unGet" podcasts?
Authored by: sjk on Dec 03, '05 08:41:20PM

I'm a light podcast listener/viewer without an iPod. All I'd like (for now) is to "unGet" a podcast, i.e. delete its data file and revert its iTunes entry to the original state with the "Get" button. The intention is to automatically retrieve new podcasts but have the ability to remove their data file while preserving their iTunes entries without them becoming "orphans" (i.e. iTunes entries w/o files).

In other words, I want to free up disk space by deleting certain podcasts that have been automatically retrieved while retaining the ability to download them again later. Does Cast Away have that sort of "unGet podcast" functionality?

well i believe if u delete all episodes of a podcast you've subscribed to, you are left with the reference only -- a disclosure triangle with no episodes below it. cast away will achieve that state, or you can just delete them manually if u want.

then if you want to fetch again you'd click unsubscribe and then subscribe.
