Playlists are planned but not currently supported. Expect to see this in 1.6 (release after next; ~3-4 weeks time)

I hadn't considered that before. I'll try to get that into 1.5 (1-2 weeks) or at least 1.6 (3-4 weeks).

Podcaster will actually do this overnight or on demand by "syncing all".
Considering the
huge technical hurdles I had to go through to get overnight downloads working, I'd be surprised if you'll find that feature in many other apps on the platform.
Having said that, even downloads starting by sync'ing in the app should run in the background, assuming the developer used the correct APIs.
