GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 552976
"Rescan music library" adds podcasts to the music library
Last modified: 2009-01-08 15:54:35 UTC
By default (and as far as I can tell this isn't changeable) podcasts are downloaded to a Podcasts folder inside the music library folder. This means that when the music library folder is rescanned for new music, all of the podcasts are found and imported into the regular music library. It would be nice if the podcast folder would be ignored on a rescan, or if Podcasts could be downloaded to a location outside of the normal music folder.
This is somewhat related to bug #535025.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Just out of curiosity, how was this bug fixed? Can the user specify a specific folder for podcasts, or is the directory ~/Music/Podcasts just blacklisted? Or I could just wait for 1.4.2 and find out for myself.
It's a hacky blacklist, for now.
