Hi ..  

Actually I was looking more for an XML parser that downloads the podcast to 
a certain file directory within the BBS.  There's so many podcasts now that 
are video, audio, text, and pictures even.  iTunes really I don't htink 
would work into it .. specially since I'm running my board on Slackware and 
iTunes isn't available for Linux :)

Thanks for the suggestion though --

Sam
