Default Tip: More Podcasts

http://metrointerstellar.com/2007/12/zune-podcast-hack-using-itunes.html

"Ok - I know this might seem backwards, but here me out.  You can use *coughs* iTunes *coughs* to get more FREE podcast content on your Zune... Let's face it.  Zune doesn't have a ton of choices (yet) while iTunes, which has been at this for quite some time now, has a huge selection ready for download!  They're in the same format (mp4) and once you get them to the Zune Software, you can manage them from there - all you need is the initial download from iTunes!  So If you can bear using that 'other' media software, click to find out how...."

I can't bring myself to say more about this. Those needing a larger podcast database should by all means find themselves satisfied with iTunes' more mature collection. Just don't come back wondering what that funky odor coming from your keyboard is.

Check ZuneBoards for an excellent and picture-filled step-by-step. Just keep in mind that only the new Zune models (the 4/8 and 80) can natively read mp4 files. If you have a 30, the software'll automatically transcode to a lower-quality file.

The main difference I see between Redmond and Cupertino (having visited and enjoyed both) is that the residents of the former don't think their byproduct smells better than everyone else's.

I already use the itunes podcast database for podcasts on my zune30. Haven't had a problem yet. I'm not such an audiophile that I get all in to the variables in sound quality.

I listen to mostly sermons from podcasts and they sound just fine. But it's a great tip for those not in the know.
