Specifically current iTunes (9.x.x and even previous 8.x.x versions) do not have a problem finding/using my Linux based mt-daapd server but of course this does not have anything to do with actually trying to run iTunes software under wine or subscribing to podcasts with URL's hostile to everything but iTunes.
Are there subscription-friendly podcasts and software that don't involve itunes? I'm more interested in knowing how this might work directly from an android phone (which I don't have yet), but anything that could replace the cycle of updating on itunes then having to sync an ipod to that specific device would be good to know.
of course, and just to verify, I used my android to go to http://www.thisamericanlife.com and they have 2 podcast URL's - 1 for itunes and one for everything else and it worked just fine (the other).
I think that people are starting to figure out that delivering Apple proprietary content is good for Apple but not for the general public.
Just to be clear, I don't mean places where you can download mp3's through a link, I mean something where you can subscribe to a feed and have the software automatically download new copies as they appear, add them to a playlist, and optionally delete them after playing. When I'm driving, I just want to select the playlist and always have the most recent subscribed and unplayed item at the top - without any intervention other than the initial subscription.
