I actually like the podcasts integration and I'm glad that on Windows iTunes hasn't (yet?) been split up the way it has been on Mac. Not so much (with some little exceptions) for actual podcasts [1], but rather for managing my collection of various radio comedies – its handy being able to sync them over to my phone together with the rest of my music collection, but by manually setting their media type to "Podcast" [2] they don't clutter up my regular music library, I get the handy unlistened/listened visual indication, and it remembers the playback position in case I can't listen to an episode in one go [3]. [1] I was never that big a podcast listener, plus now that my mobile music player hardware has its own network connection (because it is in fact my phone) I can download episodes directly there without having to go via my computer. [2] No longer possible on Mac in the post-iTunes age, and the successor Podcasts app apparently doesn't support manually adding files as episodes to it. [3] Okay, so you can turn on remembering the playback position for any file in iTunes, i.e. even regular music files, but that doesn't work with my Android phone.
