Hi guys,

You're right about that, but here's the thing: can you think of any other
MP3 player that does podcasts the proper way? Apple got it all together so
nicely.

Whoops. :)

I'm currently using libgpod v0.4.2 and as far as I know, there's no way to
upgrade to libgpod v0.6.0 without breaking some dependencies, considering
that recent packages often require newer versions of their dependencies. Do
you know of a Ubuntu repository that can take care of this issue?
I'm going to do some more research on how the iPod touch and gtkpod interact
and if I do buy one, I'll be sure to let you guys know how it turned out.
