Thanks for the response mrrhq, and sorry for my late reply and realize that my first post wasn't very clear.

My big issue is that if I start playing a podcast from Gpodder it will just play that one episode and then stop. I'd like it to play all episodes from that folder, whether that folder is "today's episodes" or just episodes from a specific podcast feed. I don't know how to get this kind of behavior with Gpodder/Media Player in a simple one click way (i.e. I don't want to have to build a playlist).

My second issue, and this is a Media Player issue, not a Gpodder issue, iIs that the Media Player (and also Open Media Player) seem to treat podcasts as a subset of the music category, when I think of them as entirely separate things. I don't want podcasts to be listed in my music category because I don't want random podcasts showing up when I'm shuffling my music. Does MediaBox handle podcasts in this way also?
