Q: One Playlist for Songs and Podcasts

Is there a way to put songs and podcasts into the same playlist?

I can't seem to do this with the Podcast app on the iPhone.

 

Cheers,     John

    SInce iOS has separate apps for music and podcasts, there's no elegant way to do this.

     

    Using iTunes on the Mac, you can try doing Get Info on the podcast and changing its Media Kind to Music.

    I tried changing the Media Kind to Music but no go. The playlist showed in Music but the podcasts weren't in it.

    So thanks for the tip. It's too cumbersome to go through this routine anyway even if it did work.

    Just for the record I think it's somewhat backward on Apple's part to separate Music and Podcasts into two

    mutually exclusive apps. Why would they not enable us to listen to both in one app? This is progress?
