However, Apple didn&#8217;t announce the iTunes feature I really wanted to see; I want iTunes to filter incoming podcasts into playlists and upload them that way to my iPod.<\/p>\n<p>The problem I&#8217;m having is that some of the podcasts I regularly listen to are actually snippets of things from the Australian Broadcasting Corp, or the BBC or NPR. These segments are typically only 3-8 minutes long. When I&#8217;m listening to these shows on my iPod, I don&#8217;t want to keep stopping every few minutes to select a new show, so I&#8217;ve been organizing them into playlists, such as <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">News<\/span> and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Tech<\/span> and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Education<\/span>. However, that makes for lots of management on my part and requires me to actually remember what I&#8217;ve listened to and what I haven&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like this feature shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult to add. My NetNewsWire Lite is able to manage my podcast subscriptions, and those subscriptions can be organized into folders. I&#8217;ll have to play with the preferences to see if that program is smart enough to upload them in folders to iTunes. If it isn&#8217;t, I&#8217;m hoping Apple will add that feature soon. Do any of you know of a program that already does this? Any developers out there looking for a new project?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple made a number of interesting announcements this week and now I&#8217;m longing for a new iMac.
