I just got my very first MP3 player the day after Thanksgiving. I am fairly ignorant about the whole digital music stuff. I'm still listening to CDs.

Can anyone recommend a good Podcast downloader app? Something where I can tell it the Podcasts I am interested in so I can click a button in the morning and have the newest Podcasts downloaded to the MP3 player.

Thanks.

what mp3 player are you using? if it's an ipod, then itunes is the best for that. if your it isn't an ipod, there is a podcast receiver that works with windows media player. other than those, i don't know about anything.

I got the 2GB Sansa Clip. I have been waiting for over a year to find a model with 2GB that was around the $40 range. I had been looking at the Sansa models and Best Buy had this model for $35 the day after Thanksgiving, so I snatched it up. It's a terrific little player and sounds great. Reviews have mentioned it's different than other Sansa's in that the sound on this thing is actually good. :-)

The one bummer is it doesn't have an expansion slot, but 2GB is plenty for me. I already several hours of music on there containing almost all of the CDs I typically listen to while working.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will look into those. I also found something called Juice which I plan to look at as well.
