If that's because of the codec license stuff there's probably more that a few listings of steps at LQ how to work around that. What applied to FC1 tru FC6 should apply to F7 as well. If that's because of driver hassles try to post hardware/software details (and errors if any).

Aren't they just downloadable files, click link, save manually (or use wget)?

Most DAP's are recognised as USB storage, connect, drag files over in file manager (or cp).

If you want a more full featured way of syncing podcasts, Amarok has some good utilities. You can set it up to download podcasts as their updated, and you can transfer media onto different devices through the program

thanks for the info and timely input...jaz620
