So I am now the proud owner of a Lumia 1520. I had an HTC Trophy and WP7.8 (go with it) before this and I want to sort out some things I haven't quite finished yet. First up is podcasting. Zune synced played status and current position without hassle, so now that syncing has been replaced with a single program that doesn't download podcasts, can someone prime me on how to do things? I watch on my PC when I'm at home and on my phone when I'm out. I think I'm rambling a bit, anybody following? I am using Windows 8.1 and want to avoid iTunes at all costs.

Second, any app recommendations? I won't list what I already have, but it's basically everything I used to have. Only thing I seem to be missing is a Flashlight.

Third, when I set a folder to sync, it will auto update, right? Kinda didn't feel like it.

Edit: How can I set custom alert sounds?

Appreciate it.

I don't use pod casts on anything but my phone...and all the subscriptions carried over from my WP7.5 device, so I'm not sure and will skip that one, haha.

I found a battery app that combines all the shortcuts (to WiFi and Bluetooth) plus a flashlight app into one...I'll look the link in the store.

What folder are you syncing? I feel like I missed something here...is this a OneDrive thing?

Like music and pictures sync.
