So, as long as it has an RSS, I can get any podcast or music? I am interesting in hearing youtube, and other stores, such as walmart, itunes, and such.

I am on my way to getting it, I THINK! LOL
This is the the URL that you should be using: http://feeds.feedburner.com/PodcastsForRunning

THANK YOU SO MUCH
On the webpage that you gave me the link to, I clicked on the little white and orange icon on the left of the screen right next to where it says "Or through Feedburner:", then on the right of the webpage, it says "Subscribe Now!", and under that, it says "...with something else (copy this address):", so I copied the address in that text box and put it as the URL for the podcast.

For other podcasts, it depends on how they present the subscription. They should give a URL that is for podcast subscriptions in general. Usually you will need a URL that starts with "http://", and not something like "pcast://" or "itpc://".

If the podcasts are made for iTunes, then they probably will not work. For YouTube, if you download a video, it should not be an MP3 file, so when you double-click it, it should play the video.

oh no, I manage 1 youtube download now the second isn't working, it keeps asking if I want to replace the existing flv. I am using youtube downloader maybe I should use something else.

What do you use? which would be the easiest for me to get the hang of?

Now I am bothering you about something else.....eeeehhhh! Sorry!

It is fine to replace the existing flv. Just make sure when you convert the flv that you do not replace the MP3 that you already have. You can do that changing the name of the file that you want it saved as.

Yes for Podcasts just look out for that orange icon or any reference to subscribe, RSS or Feed - you can click on this first and if it shows a list of the podcasts to listen to, you know you have the correct link, plus podcasts cannot be obtained by the Zune software from a ".html" look out for ".xml" at the end of an address instead if there is nothing like this at then end then try it, if it is correct, Zune Software will download it.

Do you know how to get the youtube, after being converted to sync with the zune?

And what converter do you use?? That is the pitts when you accidentally do something and you don't know how you did it......ugh

I am happy, very happy with the podcast situation.....

Do you have a step by step from converter to syncing my zune?

You need to use the converter that you have to create an .flv file, then convert that file into an MP3 file. Then all you have to do is drag it to your collection in the Zune software.
