iTunes question...haven't been able to find help online.

I made a playlist of podcast episodes so I could listen to them back to back (without having to select and start each one).

When I try and sync my ipod, the playlist doesn't show up in the list of playlists.

How can I get either the podcasts to play back to back OR the playlist to show up?

Which iPod? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you have to find podcast in their own section of the iPod menu.

When you connect your iPod youll have to click on the device and make sure its set to sync the new playlist.

Ya when I connected the ipod I went into the menu to select which ones I wanted to sync. It's not in that list. The playlist is in itunes, but not in the available playlists to select for syncing to my ipod.

Is there a way I can play podcasts one after the other?

You can. I cant remember what you do and Im ot at my computer to check, but you can make an "On the Go" playlist just using your iPod. In the playlist menu click "On The Go" and just choose the podcasts you want to listen to and add it to the list.

I gotta research this one when I get to work.

Just checking... When you go to the screen where you're selecting the playlist, are you in the Podcasts tab? The music playlists and the podcast playlists are sync'd separately.

I went to both the music ANd the podcast tabs. You can't make podcast "playlists" so to speak. So I made a playlist of several podcasts (not all the same podcast) to play in successession.

They're relaxation podcasts with music and nature sounds to help me sleep. They're only 5 minutes or so each but obviously it defeats the purpose if every time the 5 minutes is up I have to sit up and select the next one down on the list.

Yeah, no doubt.

I'll check with some iTunes folks at work. There has to be a way to do it.
