Podcast Requests

[heronheart]

First of all I would like to thank the developers for implementing the request for an option to only delete podcasts with a rating under a certain number of stars.

So I thought I would pass along a couple more ideas.

1) Import local OPML file. Essentially add a "Browse" button to the "Add Directory" option. This would make switching from other podcatchers to MM much simpler by being able to use the OPML files that most podcatchers can generate. It would also be good to be able to generate an OPML file from MM.

2) Add an option to to download individual podcasts. Right now I can right-click in the list of episodes for subscribed episodes to listen (streaming) to a podcast that hasn't been downloaded. (Very nice.) But I would like an option to download individual podcasts so that I can listen to them on my MP3 player. Even better would be to be able to download individual episodes from podcasts that I'm not subscribed to but which are listed in the directory.

3) I would like to be able to search the cached podcast directories for show titles like "Best of Ideas".

Thanks,
Ken

I second that. I would prefer to not have to subscribe to a podcast when I am only interested in say one or two eps.

The ability to use the title of the show in the artist tag would do wonders for ipod support. Everything else works fine (although the automatic deletion has been a little iffy) but this would work great for shows like macbreak weekly where they change the artist tag depending on who is on the show.

I know that would be the "correct" way of doing it, however this leads to multiple listings in the podcast menu with like, one episode in each, and it gets messy quick.
