I'm just curious if my podcasts will mix with songs if I set my iPod to shuffle.

Yes, they sure do. They should, anyway. They do on my shuffle. Enjoy!

I'll take advantage of that post to say one thing, is that normal for my podcasts to get mixed in my music librairy?

Mac Yak

Good point, DBerG. I've noticed that since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, the podcasts I subscribe to are being converted into 128-bit AAC files and placed in my library. So as far as I know, the answer to your question is yes.

If you don't want your podcasts to mix with your music in iTunes 5, you can go to the edit menu and select "Show search bar". Then it's just a matter of clicking on the "Music" tab in the search bar when you have your "Library" selected, and iTunes will only display your music with no Podcasts or Audiobooks you may have in your Library, and will only shuffle these. Of course you can always select "Podcasts" or "Audiobooks" or even "All" in the searchbar to show these as well.

If you set the podcast in iTunes to "skip when shuffling" does that not eliminate it? I don't know how this works with the Shuffle but thought I'd through it out there as an option.

Well, I guess this is a priority for the next update of iTunes.
