Update: I should clarify that Ziepod does support iPod synchronization to some extent but it’s just not that great as it fails to make use of the ‘Podcasts’ menu on your iPod. Instead, the application treats your podcasts like regular songs. And that’s probably not what you want your podcast client to do. Aside from that, Ziepod requires you to install iTunes if you want it to be able to communicate with your iPod.

Ziepod is a great podcast client, but its iPod synchronization support is just horrible.

@harto: You should check out Ziepod. It doesn’t support iPod synchronization, but the interface is pretty sweet.

are there any good podcast clients for windows, other than iTunes?

I think this program seems promising, and I’m excited to see a podcasting alternative to iTunes. I have given up on listening to podcasts because I strongly dislike iTunes, and this sounds like a nice option for me.

I tried switching primarily over to linux and using these types of tools for managing my iPod. But it just isn’t the same experience as with Windows or Mac. Congratulations to the people developing these tools, although my feeling is that they need to be a bit more developed before they can be used by the general population.
