[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 964832, member: 59143"] I don't have any podcast's, so I couldn't test whether or not one would import, but I don't see why not. Here's what I've found thus far: The first cap shows the import playlist function from the menu, which brings up the second cap to the right of it, and that's where I'd import podcast's from I suspect. The third cap bottom left, simply shows where my master music folder on my ext HD is and that Songbird is watching it for any changes so that it can add or subtract from its database. The last cap is gathered from the "media importer" tab, in SB preferences. So you can see that yes, you can import tracks and playlists directly from iTunes. But SB does not act like iTunes unless you want it to, and that's why I love SB. I hate the way iTunes handles media files. Just direct SB to the directory where all of your media is, and it will automatically import everything accordingly. Doug Edit: Sorry, not sure about album art, but I suspect that either yes it will, or it doesn't matter because SB reads a files metadata and if there's album art included, it will show up. And if it doesn't, there's an add on called Amazon album art which will automatically add it upon request, either individually, or everything at once.
