Thank you Marcelo for your answers both here and in other threads. I've been reading a bunch and your comments have been very informative and helpful. Much appreciated.

I understand not having automatic downloads, and it really isn't much trouble to manually initiate, just need to get in the habit of doing this at breakfast.

How about the other sections of the podcast feature? I feel stupid that I can't get anything to work except the "My Feeds." Am I missing something?

And one last question, is it possible to lock just the screen and not the buttons? I love having the hard buttons for volume and track advance, but have trouble with the screen when carrying in my pants pocket.
