This probably doesn't belong here, but here goes.
I use iTunes to get my podcasts (it's kind of neccessary with my iPod). I have a huge list of Podcasts and it's even worse because of my massive backlog.(currently over 9 days).
I want to keep certain episodes of EP and other podcasts, but I want to get them out of my Podcast Library. I only want un-listened-to podcasts in there.
I've tried a few different conversions to one format or another and that hasn't worked. The only thing that has worked was opening them in Quicktime and re-saving them as a normal mp-3s. This reduces the quality and is a pain. Can anyone help?
Edit
(I'm copying my post about the solution here to the first post. This way if anyone just wants to now how to save podcasts, they don't need to read the whole thread)
OK, I found the solution (on the iTunes forum. Thank you, Jim) and it was a variation of Michael's suggestion. I just had to Macify it a bit. It's something I tried before on iTunes 6 (probably) and it didn't work, but it works now.
You use the convert to MP3 function (like Michael said) this puts a copy in the Music library (even if the original was MP3) then chuck the original. No need to go out of iTunes and pull files around it's already there.
Before when I did it the copy would also come up as a podcast, no matter what I converted it to. I had a couple of AIFF podcasts for a while once.
