I'm working on a script that downloads the latest episodes, works out when I walk through the door which files are currently on my phone and then does a file sync via bluetooth overnight so that I have the latest files on my phone the next day.

Hi Matthew,

If you can do a bit of programming, something other than bash scripts,
both Ruby and Python have libraries that can read/process RSS.

If you're interested and can't find the names of the libraries, let me
know and I'll try to find them.

Hwyl,
Neil.
