FeedYourZune: Podcasts come to the Zune

It will automatically download podcasts and sync them. It doesn't include any file conversion at this point, so you'll need to download podcasts that are already in a Zune-compatible format. But Doug says file conversion will be included in a future release. You can also use FeedYourZune as a video player and playlist manager on your PC.
Oh yeah, and look, it features a Zune-like interface (read: black).

Why does one need this?
Why can't you just use ie7's built in rss? Just suibscribe to the podcast, and then go into the properties to have it autodownload the media. hen do a search to find out where it's stored (it varie by computer I belive) and point the orginal zune softwrae to that folder
hint: Want to subscribe to a properity podcast link? You'll notice some links start with itpc://, simply copy the url and replace itpc with http. It will no work in ie7's rss engine
