This annoying little quirk has been going on for a while, and I've just spent an hour trying to fix it, with no luck.
I subscribe to a handful of podcasts, and once a week or so I check for new shows I want and download them. So far so good.
I have a couple of (default, I think) smartlists: Podcasts by Date and Recent Podcasts. Both of these lists immediately show the newly downloaded podcasts at the top of the playlists. Still right on.
Both of these playlists are marked to sync to my iPod (80GB Classic), but if I try to sync immediately after downloading, the podcast episodes I've just downloaded won't get transferred. I haven't really nailed down the window of impotence, but eventually they will sync. Just not right after downloading them, even though they show on the sync playlists
Tonight I've been messing with this, and noticed that in the device window the new podcasts are there but listed as "duplicates" and not "transfer". I've played around with deselecting one or the other smartlist from syncing, or syncing the entire contents of one or more podcasts, and after 5 syncs tonight I still can't get these new ones on my ipod.
I know that tomorrow I'll be able to do it without any hassle. Any one else seen this or have any idea why this is happening to me?
