Hardy har har.  You really got to get out more often! ;)

I'm not an Apple "fan" by any stretch of the imagination, but the  
iTunes program is simply very good at what it does.  It's a great  
tool for ripping to lossless too - whilst keeping a database of  
thise files at the same time.  I like the print CD label feature.  
 I have found that the network feature is very handy when I pull  
podcasts at one PC (for storage) that I can then fire up iTunes  
on another PC and play them reaching out across the network.  WRT  
podcasts, I may subscribe to them with iTunes, but then I just  
copy the file onto a media card and play them on the TV while I  
lay back in bed and close my eyes.

Good to hear that you found *some* kind of solution that works  
for you.   I don't have a need to "sync" to devices.  I just pick  
and choose what I might like to hear and transfer the podcasts to  
a media card or my iPOD (yes, I still have a couple of old ones)  
manually.  If I auto-sync'd to my iPods I'd run out of space  
before I had a chance to listen to the lastest podcasts.  So, now  
I am skipping a lot of material and just listening to something  
that sounds interesting based on the description of a specific  
program.
