ZenPodder

Here is a moded version of bashpodder that works with your Creative Labs Nomad device to both grab the podcasts and put them on your mp3 player without you having to lift a finger. You will need to have libnjb and njbtools installed.

# Modified by Tom Higgins 01/28/05  - added auto moving  of new files onto a Creative Labs Nomad mp3 device
#    you will need libnjb and njbtools installed
# Make script crontab friendly:
cd $(dirname $0)
# datadir is the directory you want podcasts saved to:
datadir=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
njbtemp="njb"
# Check for and create datadir if necessary:
if test ! -d $datadir
        then
        mkdir $datadir
fi
# Check for and create the nomad temp dir if necessary:
if test ! -d $njbtemp
        then 
        mkdir $njbtemp
fi
# Delete any temp file:
rm -f temp.log
# Read the bp.conf file and wget any url not already in the podcast.log file:
while read podcast
 do
 file=$(wget -q $podcast -O - | tr '\r' '\n' | tr \' \" | sed -n 's/.*url="\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p')
 for url in $file
  do
  echo $url >> temp.log
  if ! grep "$url" podcast.log > /dev/null
   then
   wget -q -P $njbtemp "$url"
  fi
  done
 done < bp.conf
# Move dynamically created log file to permanent log file:
cat podcast.log >> temp.log
sort temp.log | uniq > podcast.log
rm temp.log
# Move new files to the Nomad device and then move them to the datadir:
newfiles=$(ls $njbtemp)
  for items in $newfiles
    do
      njbputtrack -t $items -g podcast -l $datadir $njbtemp/$items
    done
mv $njbtemp/* $datadir
# Create an m3u playlist:
ls $datadir | grep -v m3u > $datadir/podcast.m3u
