Stephen,

In iTunes 8, it’s easy to change the default podcast settings:
1) Go to the Podcasts screen and click the “Settings…” button at the bottom of the screen.
2) In the “Settings For:” pull-down menu, select “Podcast Defaults.” (for me, this is the top option)
3) Set your defaults.

All podcasts marked with “use Default Settings” will now have your new default options.

This is a great feature, but does anyone know how to change the “Default Settings”? I’ve got loads of podcasts and it will take forever to change the settings on all of them to what I want.

About podcasts and itunes, do you know if it is possible to synchronize the same podcast on 2 different ipods? Meaning, itunes keeps tracks of which episodes have been listened or not on each ipod and therefore deletes the ones that are listened on both ipods.

Actually, for iTunes I think this almost borders on a “significant” improvement. Partly because it was so woefully inadequate before. It’s true that other applications sort of filled in this gap, but having it seamlessly integrated in iTunes 8 is quite an improvement, at least for me it is.

This is an improvement, but nothing significant. There are several other softwares for Mac (available free) which can easily do the same.
