Amarok, iPods, and podcasts

[Thad Humphries]

I recently installed openSuSE 11.2, which comes with Amarok 2.1.1.  Unless
I'm missing something, Amarok 2.x is a HUGE STEP BACKWARDS from v 1.4.

With 1.4 it was easy, indeed, quite intuitive download podcasts and transfer
them to my 80GB iPod Classic (once I found the secret of adding the SysInfo
file, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod).  However I can't see
how to get a podcast onto my iPod using 2.1.  From what I'm finding via
Google, it might not even be possible.

Since "upgrading" I haven't tried adding new CD tracks to my iPod.  I hope
that is not broken.  However losing podcasts is to my mind a BIG MISTAKE,
and essentially makes Amarok 2.1 a broken application.
