This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I was goign to sit down an write one myself this morning, but this saves me the work. I changed the script a little to just delete all the tracks from a particular play list. I have and “Old Casts” smart playlist for unrated tracks older than month with Podcast of Radio as the genre. I cal runs the delete script to remove files from this playlist on the first of the month.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, no, I don’t know of any way to do this on a Windows system. I must admit, though, I haven’t spent much time looking for one.

This is a great idea. I wish I had a mac now. This has been one of my bigest problems, trying to delete old podcasts. I had a Mac 10 years ago and Apple Script was too cool. Do you know of anything like this for us Win PC folk, I need something to get me over untill I make the switch back :)

Further proof that Apple will take over the world. You’ve helped to make my day. That recent iPod software update did it for the month. :-)

This is brilliant!

I can’t wait to try it out when I get home from work. And I might even buy those books as well.

This is f*c*ing great, thanks!
Now…if only the Shuffle had a rating system :-)
Actually, I think I’ll go buy a 4G iPod only because of this post…being able to put stars in order to manage my podcasts seems too useful to miss! So, yeah, you’re definitely responsible for adding a -$350 entry to my credit card account, LOL!
