Turn podcasts into songs

Hi everybody. I'm back with a wonderful way to change podcasts into audio formats. It's really simple. (This is great for podcasts like the KEXP Song of the Day, where it gives you the music in podcast form but then doesn't show in your music section or count towards play counts). Basically, you enable you computer to view hidden files (easy on a PC, harder on a Mac), and then you go through all the folders that hold your music on your iPod until you find the podcast you are looking for. You then download a program called Audacity (if you haven't already), and promptly open your podcast into audacity. You then change any tags that you want and "export as mp3." After it has finished moving the song to whatever folder you choose, you just add the file to iTunes and proceed to add it to your iPod. Done! Any questions?
