Thank you, Rusty. Aside from this one bug, I'm otherwise thrilled with MM 3.0. It is an indescribable relief to finally have a top-quality media management software that has good built-in podcast support. Adios, Juice.

Scientific American Podcasts not working [F-3872]

Here is an odd problem that only apparently began with Beta 4, and I haven't noticed until now. It is apparently still not working properly in RC-1. MediaMonkey can no longer correctly read the Scientific American podcasts that are found here:

http://www.sciam.com/page.cfm?section=podcasts_sub

Grab any of the RSS links and add to MM. You'll see all of the info on the podcast, and it may even show a few of the older podcasts. Unfortunately it isn't able to see any newer ones, let alone retrieve them. Before this started happening, I was able to get these podcasts on a regular basis. Some are weekly, some are daily. You can see that there are actually files available by clicking the RSS link inside your browser and reviewing the list of files.

Why didn't I notice before? I get a lot of podcasts, and I just hadn't noticed that I was short a few. I haven't noticed whether any of my other podcasts are dropping out in the same way. This one is a biggie, I think. If this podcast is dropping off, I'm sure there are others that are doing the same.

I've tested this problem on a completely fresh install of RC-1 on a completely different computer than the one where I discovered the problem. The result seems to be identical.
