Sync Podcasts to Handheld Device

Sending a Podcast to a device is just like transferring any other file. See Transfer Files to your Handheld/Portable Device. There are, however, two tips:

To keep the files truly synchronized, remember to check “delete from handheld any files not in sync list” under Advanced Options (Tools > Options > Handheld).

Create a smartlist for recently downloaded Podcasts. One way is to use the following rule:

-[Feed URL]=[] ~sort=[date],[artist],[album] [Date Imported]=<=3d

This rule displays all episodes imported within the last 3 days, sorted by date. When synchronized with the Handheld Device, they can be listened to in order. Adding [Number Plays]=<1 limits the list to podcasts that have not been played.

You can also listen to all the podcasts by feed, in episode order:

-[Episode URL]=[] ~sort=[artist],[album],[track#]
