[iTunes] iTunes epic fail

[Ken Stevens]

Becca:

I am really sorry to hear you are still having problems.  I will ask  
at the Apple store when I go.

Failing that,  there is another solution.  Other people on this list  
sometimes suggest a script.
They refer to an Applescript, which doesn't apply to Windows.  There  
is a program called
QuicKeys for Windows that will do what you want.   It will launch  
iTunes at any time you want
and "click" the refresh button automatically.  It's a pretty  
sophisticated program that will do
a lot of other things, sort of like buying a shotgun to kill a bug.   
But if the bug is really bugging
you a shotgun will work.

Here is the URL, I encourage you to download the demo and see if it  
works for you.  If I remember
correctly there is a simple way of programing QuicKeys where you tell  
it to watch you and it will
then repeat your actions at the time you specify day after day.  You  
would then set the podcast
download to manual and let QuicKeys do the work.
