Managing Podcasts in WP7

[wlcohagan]

I'm having problems trying to manage podcasts via the Music+Videos app on my Lumia 900.

• I can't figure out how to mark a podcast episode as "already played"
• I can't figure out how to visually see if an episode has already been played.
• I can't figure out how to delete an episode from the phone.
• I cant' figure out how to download additional episodes

Note that what I'm asking is how to do this FROM THE PHONE; i.e., without connecting to Zune on a PC.

Are these functions supported in the default App -- or do I need to try to find a Podcast app in Marketplace?

TIA,
Bill

Music+Videos > Podcasts > Choose Channel > Tap & Hold on episode


>mark as played
>Delete

*Remember Tap and hold is a common gesture to command individual items*

Music+Videos > Podcasts > Choose Channel > Tap & Hold on episode

Thanks for the quick response. The problem I was having is that it never occurred to me to tap on the *text* next to the graphic representing the Podcast; thus I never saw the Episode list. I assume that's what you meant by "Choose Channel"; i.e., tapping on the text?

Thanks again,
Bill

Here's a simple question, is there a way I can subscribe to and download podcasts directly to the phone, without having to sync the phone with the computer and use Zune?

You can download podcasts from the phone on the podcast section of the marketplace. You might have to be on WiFi, I can't remember.
