#49 Suggestion for ID3 problems

I'm using iPodder to fetch my podcasts, and it works
nicely with iTunes. One thing that's missing though is
the ability to tell which podcasts are new. iPodder
puts everything into separate playlists, and I have
written about the problems with ID3 tags recently.
So, here is a suggestions: why can't iPodder create one
more playlist that serves as a kind of log for
retrieved files? Name it "iPodder downloads", and link
the files in there, too.
It would also be nice to have iPodder set the ID3 tags
in the process - define a naming scheme in each feed
properties tab, and there are your perfect tags.
Variables could include the original date and time,
retrieval date and time, feed title, file name etc..
The text variables could be trimmed down to a certain
number of chars, so you could do stuff like "20041126
ITC Human Nature" for one of the latest IT
Conversations, for example.
If the feed creators can't come up with decent tagging
schemes (and it's unlikely that they'll all subdue to
the same scheme, about as unlikely that this scheme
would appeal to all listeners), the aggregator is
probably the best way to fix this.
So, what's the first aggregator to come up with a
flexible way to re-write and re-map ID3 tags in podcasts?

This is still not handled that great in iPodder. Marked it
as a feature request.

Redefining the ID tag is possible in the latest version (v2.1)
