I just recently read Vinny Carpenter's inspiring post, which reminded me to write down my current requests for the podcasting section of itunes: We REALLY need per-feed preferences. Stuff like the number of podcasts to be copied to the iPod highly depends on the type of podcast. For a daily news podcast the recent one is good enough, for others I'd like to have all available, for big stuff like IT Conversations 'only marked ones' would be perfect. Lately my iTunes display often looks like this. A variation of this is a status message that doesn't represent the latest status. Is this a problem for anybody else? When using the 'only update selected podcasts' option, it would be nice to ask me to add a podcast that I'm subscribing to to this list. That has bitten me several times already. Also, the option for keeping podcasts should be available per feed. Single episodes should be markable as 'don't delete', overriding any other settings. Example: there are some really old classic episodes of IT Conversations that I would like to keep, even though I don't want to keep all the other ones. Non-podcast related: please fix the contacts/appointments feature on Windows, or get rid of it altogether. This is getting ridiculous.
