I just learnt (here) how to change the tags so that a podcast mp3 will be treated by iTunes as a normal mp3 (ie. showing in the main library as music, not in the podcast list), but I want to do the opposite...
Here's why: I manually downloaded a podcast episode (from WNYC, New York Public Radio) that was aired before I subscribed to that podcast, so it was not in the list of automatically downloaded episodes for that podcast. I would like to force iTunes to add it to that list as if I'd downloaded it from the podcast, rather than getting it from the website (hope I'm not making this sound confusing!). That way, it won't show up as music, but will stay in the podcast list.
Is that possible, using id3v2 to edit the tags? Or should I just forget about it?
Apart from the "podcast" and the subtitle tags, how exactly does iTunes remember which files are downloaded from podcasts and which are music files? Does it store a list in its preferences files?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
