Limewire and Podcasting
 

I'd like to see "Podcast" added to the Genre dropdown list for Audio searches.

It seems to me that LimeWire would be the perfect tool for podcasters to distribute their podcasts (for a number of good reasons), but no-one seems to do so (a search for "podcast" yields no results) - I don't understand why not?

P.S. I'd like to see more features to support podcasting in general, but I'll have to think a bit more to figure out what these would be ;)

Magma Lists
 

Phex now features readout and creation of magma-lists, with which you can download collections of files via Gnutella (and which can be created far more simply than the bulky collection-files of Shareaza).

By including those files in podcasts (instead of the actual mp3s) the podcasts could be served via Gnutella (while the RSS-feeds still stay the way to inform people of new files).

Since Phex is GPL like LimeWire, the code could very simply be included in LimeWire.

Here's the link to the code of Phex:

Here's the project for magma-lists:

For those who already use the latest beta of phex, here's the magma-list to get all versions which ever were created of the magma-sourcecode...
