Separate Podcasts and Music

Hello all,

I getting tired of keeping up with the fifteen to thirty minute podcasts, which I'm having a little difficult and pretty tiring. I want to sync my podcast to my iPod, but I'm not doing that right now because my music and my podcasts are mixed up into one playlist, and I want to separate podcasts and my music in my iPod. Is there any way of doing this?

Regards,

The Wampus Cat

There should be a Podcast playlist. There's no reason your music and podcast should be mixed together.

I do have a podcast playlist, but my podcasts and music are mixed together in my library.

Hi.

I want the same thing! It is a pain in the butt when I transfer to my iPod because when I shuffle my songs now it picks up the Poscasts. And the Names of the Podcast guys are now in the Artists section. Pain in the butt!

It did it with the 5 upgrade. With 4.9 Podcasts were confined to the Podcast section in your itunes and to The Podcast section of your iPod.

Its the new search feature...it made Podcast a Genre in Itunes and now they are all mixed together! I tryed deleting one of my Podcast links in the Libray window, hoping it wouldn't delete it from the Podcast Section, (much like a Playlist) but alas it deletes from both sections. They are connected (I did make sure not to delete the podcast file only the Library link.)

I havn't figured a work around yet. (Except maybe 5.1)

APPLE! Make a pref to disable it in the Library window! I see why it was done, but it is better having them seperate.

I agree. It's a user interface yuk! I like to randomly play all the music in my iTunes, but now I'm listening along and suddenly a podcast comes along. There should be a way to isolate podcasts from a random (or sequential) play.
