After being given the go-ahead from Christophe I've borred three classes from the
jPodder project to interact with iTunes (via
jawin) and add downloaded MP3's without causing them to play instantly. This has instantly made Norrell much more usefull to me now I actually own an iPod.
In a related podcasting topic, I found
mfeeds via
Michael Lehman's podcast, which is a site-scraper aimed at media/audiofiles - very handy for a quick feed generation for your favorite band.
