How to delete a podcast from an iPod and not have it reappear after syncing with iTunes?
- by Mike
Hi everyone,
Say I have subscribe to a single podcast and I have Episode 1 and Episode 2 on my iPod. Each episode is 30 minutes long. I listen to the entirety of Episode 1 and just the first 15 minutes of Episode 2. I delete Episode 1 using my iPod's menu.
Say Episode 3 has just come out. I want to be able to sync with iTunes, and after doing so, have just Episodes 2 and 3 on my iPod (with Episode 2 "half listened to"). How can I do this?
Ideal state...
Episode 1 = deleted
Episode 2 = 15 minutes played already
Episode 3 = unplayed
I've found that if I set the Sync Podcast option in iTunes to "all new", I get:
"All new"
Episode 1 = not on the iPod
Episode 2 = not on the iPod
Episode 3 = unplayed
and if I set the Sync Podcast option in iTunes to "all unplayed"
"All unplayed"
Episode 1 = unplayed
Episode 2 = 15 minutes played already
Episode 3 = unplayedv
neither option does what I want. Is there an option to get my "ideal state"?
