Hey everyone, first post here, and I've got a bit of a doozy...
I'm running iPodder (haven't updated to Juice yet, but I will soon enough) as my podcacher, and I'm using Windows Media Player 10 to sync my podcasts to my Zen Micro (6 GB, very nice as far as I'm concerned). All I have to do is tell it to sync the show playlists to the Zen, and I'm all set. It works really nice, but now that I'm down to only 1-2 episodes per show, it's getting a little annoying to skip from playlist to playlist (not to mention that the playlists are almost never in order).
I recently found a good tutorial (http://www.jakeludington.com/archives/000408.html) on using WMP 10's Auto Playlists (basically a filter) to make a dynamic podcast playlist that includes only the files that are currently in your podcast directories. (This is especially good for me since I like to move mashups from the Mashup of the Week Podcast into the My Music folder so I can keep them.) I actually found a way to enhance it so that it organizes the whole list so that the shows are listed in the order I like to listen to them (i.e. GeeksOn before Gaming Steve), which I could tell you about if you're interested.
Problem is, even though the playlist works just fine, WMP 10's Sync Settings doesn't show the playlist. It almost seems like any Auto Playlist I make won't show up there! Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!
