Paperclipping Round Table

Every once in awhile I start listening to my podcasts I subscribe to. Actually just one program … Paperclipping Round Table, from www.paperclipping.com/roundtable/

I use Juice to keep them updated, but have actually been using Windows Media Player to play them, and in order for them to show up looking good I have to change the titles and the number for the file, artist, etc. Something uniform and nice looking (especially since this stuff scrobbles to Last.fm and I don’t mind that, just want it to look decent, be somewhat uniform with anyone else that also has that showing up there, which is the case. I hadn’t really paid attention to who else has listens to “paperclipping” but today I did and refit some of my future files to listen to.

I’m very far behind in listening to the weekly podcasts, so every so often I chunk out some. I’m now on #34 which is from August 31, 2010. I have all the ones from then on fixed up like “PRT 000: Title” with “Paperclipping” as artist and the weblink to the actual site for the podcast as the album.

Lots of that info is in the view of the podcasts in Juice, but not when I look at it in Windows Media Player. So I hand fix this junk in Windows 7 file properties (using the folders, at the bottom the info is editable if the file is highlighted in the folder.) I have to have the files in Juice still, going back and forth to get the information right. After I get them all done I move them from My Received Podcasts folder to another part of my drive so that they won’t clog up the Juice folder, and just get the newer ones there then, moving them out when I get to it (several at a time usually.) Because I didn’t do that in the beginning WMP doesn’t have any info about me having listened to most of them. (I guess I skipped some too, not sure exactly.) When I used them as this or that then changed the name then moved them … new files to WMP instead of updated. So now I fully edit the information then move them to the other folder manually and wait for WMP to get the information right in the files (takes some time usually) before listening to a particular file.

Maybe WMP does work with Juice better, but since I’m so behind, and I like to keep what I like until I delete something, I don’t want to give Juice ability to keep forever, just let me have them where I’ll use and re-use them if I so choose.
