I just learned that iTunes’ podcast functionality is limited. The software only lets me sort the podcasts I’ve downloaded by their release date. This is fine for episodes that have unrelated content (like the daily news), but for books, dramas, and anything that depends on a specific chronological order, it’s a nuisance.
I ran into trouble last night when I tried to load an audiobook I’ve downloaded in podcast form onto my iPod. For some of my chapters, the sorting issue means the chapters are completely out of order because they were all released on one day, or several on one day, a few on the next, etc. These same chapters are also out of order in my library, which tells me the order they have in the library is kept when they are copied onto the iPod.
A cursory internet search didn’t turn up with much help. Has anyone come up with a fix for this problem, or can someone recommend a better library-to-iPod software?
Thanks!
