Beetscasts - managing podcasts for Tangara
#1
Music 
Beetscasts is a beets plugin for managing podcasts, it reads an opml file and downloads podcasts to a directory you specify. Additionally, it cleans up the audio tags on the podcasts by 
  • adding the name of the podcast in the Album tag if it isn't populated
  • adding the title if it isn't populated
  • writing "Podcast" to the MEDIATYPE tag

which makes them play nicely with Tangara's UI. Once downloaded, your podcasts can be managed with beets by adding the query `mediaTongueodcast` to any beets transaction you want to apply it to (and conversely, adding `^mediaTongueodcast` to any transactions you do not want applied to podcasts) 

The way I use it is each morning I have my computer fetch any new podcasts, convert them, and then plug my SD card in. My computer then runs rsync -aPh <src> <dest> and sends everything to the SD card
