Hi Ben, There is some information on tagging in itunes help. press command-question mark or navigate to "help" in the menu bar, down arrow once and press enter. in the search box, type your key words like "long file names". press enter and you'l find some info on tagging. Itunes has a manager for podcasts where you can subscribe to them. When you do, the file names and the time stamps will be correct.

Sometimes long file names which are about 35 charakters long are cut off at the end. When I download the same file with Juice or other podcatchers I get the whole filename. Is it true that ITunes still uses an old version of ID3 Tag method which doesn't allow longer file names for MP3 files? The funny thing is that it happens not just to MP3 but also to video files from podcasts, saved in the podcast folder of ITunes. What annoys me the most is when I get identical named files, which aren't actually the same. Their content is different, but they're lookking the same because ITunes cuts off the end after about 35 charakters. Do you perhaps knwo how I could solve this problem or know a work arround? Or is it something only on windows versions of ITunes exists? I'm also searching for an option to let ITunes get the date and time from the server when downloading podcasts. So I could see when a show was really made and prevent saving doublicates ... Do you know if this is possible at all?
