Managing and Synchronization of Podcast Feeds with MP3 Player

[Franz]

I was looking for software that would work with any mp3 player on Windows PC. Found Juice and Doppler. I did not try Doppler yet,

Juice (http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.php) seems to work very well BUT I do not know how to sync stuff with my mp3 player. Have WMP10. Can anybody help?

Also, did anyone try Zencast Organizer Software?
Is it any good?
I saw the recent revision of this was advertised on Zencast website (http://www.zencast.com/downloads/) but do not want to mess my PC with all these clients installed at the same time...

What type opf MP3 player are you using? I have the Creative Zen Vision. Thanks for the links, I will try one of these.

I just have an ipod and a mac, so I use iTunes. However, Juice is supposed to have portable device support.

I'll download it and see how it works on the mac.

Ok, downloaded Juice. Under the preferences for Juice, there is a "Player" tab. This tab lets you choose which media player (iTunes, WMP, etc) you want Juice to use for playback and sync.

"The “Player” Tab (Image 4.4.1) allows the user to pick between iTunes and
Windows Media Player for the default Playsynchronization of Podcast Episodes with."

After I download a podcast, I can right-click and Play from within Juice and it will launch iTunes. The file is already in my library, and the file was downloaded and saved into my iTunes library folder.

From that point, I would imagine you use iTunes (or your preferred player) to sync the file to your MP3 player. I dont have my iPod with me so I cant check it out at the moment, but I dont see a "sync" option in Juice.

Thanks Dang, I am able to move a single file but I want to sync so that once I connect player
(Zen Vision M) it downloads all epizodes itself. I guess I have to try the other two Doppler or Zencast.

Bummer. I have been watching this thread to see what you find. Like I said, I have the Zen Vision as well, and this would be a great feature to have.
