migrating podcasts

[Art Alexion]

Thanks for trying to help, but I think you misunderstood what I was trying to 
do.  I didn't want to import my podcast links/urls -- I can do that manually 
and easily.

I wanted to import previously downloaded media so that amarok would recognize 
it as part of a podcast rather than just another mp3 in my library.

Can that be done?

I don't mind tinkering with file names or minor data files to make it work.
