As the above says, Lion Dance, Springtime Deathtrap, Passengers and Carefeeding mammalian Bipeds had no episode title and as such crashed my Sandisk MP3 player! Luckily I store all my podcasts on the SDcard, so I was able to remove it and get it to boot up, I then had to go through all the podcasts to find the offending ones. the ID3 stuff was all there apart from the Episode Title, once I editted it manually and put the title in it worked ok. Darned annoying though!!

how are you downloading?  I am using itunes, and have no issues.  I would wonder if the problem is whatever podcatching software you are using.

It's especially odd considering that the file name is generated from the title field, so there shouldn't be an easy way to have one without the other.

Nothing's changed about how we generate files. I've asked the powers that be to talk to Libsyn (the file host) and Wordpress (the feed generator) to see if anything has changed in their systems that would cause it. Has nobody said anything in the other posts where it was brought up? I know DKT was on the trail a month ago or so...

Looks like changing to Mashpodder fixed the problem.

Yup I've been liaising with the author of Mashpodder, and its running sweet as a nut now, any Linux or OSX users having problems out there I can thoroughly recommend Mashpodder.
