Excuse me, but how are you using Amarok to manage podcasts? I don't see 
anything in the docs or help file talking about podcasts.

I've long used Amarok to PLAY podcasts, either by donloading them first and 
clicking on them, or simply by clicking on the podcast feed url from within 
kaggregator. 

Is this what you're talking about, or is there something I'm missing?
