Hi, I’m wondering what free software (other than iTunes) is available that will let me take a podcast (basically an RSS feed with podcast enclosures) and burn the tracks of the podcast onto an audio CD. I’m looking for both Mac and Windows solutions. I know of many RSS readers that will let me play the podcasts (e.g. Google Reader, Yahoo), but I don’t know of anything other than iTunes that will let me easily burn onto CD. I know I can use a 2 step process and first download the recordings to my PC and then use the Operating System to make a CD, but I’m looking for something that doesn’t need the two steps. Any ideas? Thanks. ---
