WM10 Podcast and Playlist Sync Problems

[web1b]

Is there any way to get an iTunes/iPod type experience with a WM5 Smartphone like a 2125?

I'm used to subscribing to podcasts via iTunes, having them automatically download, then creating quick playlists be dragging the podcasts into playlists that sync to the iPod

The only way I can find to get Podcast on my 2125 is to continue to use iTunes to dowload the podcasts, then use Media Player 10 to "monitor" the iTunes Podcast folder and import those tracks into the Media Player library. This is very clunky and doesn't even work reliably.
Trying to select the podcasts I want to add to a playlist and then getting the playlist on the PC to sync with the playlists on the SmartPhone is very difficult and unreliable.
Sometimes I only have a certain amount of time to listen and need to just pick out the podcasts that fit the amount of time I have available and put them in an easy to use playlist, then have that sync automatically when I sync the smartphone with the PC.
Is there a better way to get WM10 to deal with podcasts and playlist synching or is there a reliable an easy to use podcast application for WM5 Smartphones?
