I am still missing the possibility to mark all episodes of one podcast as listened.

I second that! And a "copy to [device]" entry in the context menu!

Well tbh, we didn't invent the name Amarok either

So, it's not quite clear where they took the idea from.

Good job, I am using it at the moment with the Beta. Just a remark: even after watching the video - ok, loosely watching - it took me a while to figure out that the podcast directory was under 'internet' - i.e. 3-4 clicks away from the 'local podcasts' place. Maybe it could be a good idea to put a button somewhere linking to the public podcast list, or else, when clicking 'Add podcast' the user could be faced with the choice of adding manually or via a list.

I want to thank you for the very good job and for enhancing day by day my music experience. Keep up the good job!

I don't see much of a difference.

What I would like to see is the podcast engine and collection engine be a standalone server so Amarok doesn't have to be on all the time and it can update your collections in a lightweight background instead of using almost 2GB of RAM all the time. There's no need to have Amarok taking up so much resources just to have your podcasts up to date by having it on all the time.
