I tend to like to listen to news podcasts on my morning ride to work, and non-news items on the way home. With Canola I'll open up the feed for BBC or The Economist as I'm leaving for work and pick a few podcasts that sound interesting and then start the first one while it is still downloading, the rest will finish downloading before I'm out of range of WiFi and will continue playing back to back. I usually have enough downloaded for an hour ride to work.

Now I'm probably a big idiot, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to do anything at all similar with either Media Player or OMP. Will Panucci allow me to play podcasts by feed? If I use Panucci just for podcasts is there a way to get my podcasts out of media player so that podcasts and music are not intermingled?
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, since I don't use an N8x0, but gPodder has a feature where you can listen to your podcast via stream so you won't have to wait for it to download to play. Just click on the podcast you want to listen to and hit "Stream".

Also you can download another podcast while one is already downloading. You can download on the go too; take advantage of the fact that the N900 can use mobile broadband, and not just Wi-Fi.

I also use Mediabox instead of the stock player. I have no idea if that makes a difference.

Sorry, I guess I don't know what your question is asking when you mean "more efficient" because I've never used Panucci.
