New iTunes 10.2.2.12 unorganised!

  I up graded to the new version of itunes the other day, but today tried to use TVersity to stream my itunes podcasts from the home PC through Xbox360 so that I could watch them on the big screen, there was a problem. TVersity wasn't showing the new podcasts that I just downloaded to watch. I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong. At first I thought TVersity wasn't refreshing the folder info, so I put new stuff into the folder it could see; it saw them. Just not the podcasts folders, so I looked into the podcast folders and none of the new stuff I just DL'd were there.

  I look into the iTunes preferences, nothing has changed from the settings I always use. The new vids I just DL'd are visible in the all podcast window in iTunes. So I right click on a newly DL'd podcast to see where it was located. Low and behold iTunes created a new sub folder called "Download" in the iTunes folder and put the podcast folder into it, giving each individual file it's own folder instead of the old way of having a folder just for that podcast and putting the new files into it.

  This really screws up how TVersity sees the podcast folder. Instead of a few folders for each netcast that I subscribe to with all the shows in the same folder (all TNT shows in one folder) each update to a podcast has it's own folder! I know it's just one extra click on the remote but trying to scan the menu for the one show I want to watch is that more time consuming. Annoying!

Is there away to change this?

Seams

Seams  
by Frederick Kazar Evans

My soul has seams
together in some places loose in others,
held lightly together but bound by gravity

Steadfast in determination jovial in effect
the road traveled, distractions everywhere
One step, two-step like a Family Guy. Oh My!

The bells have rung, years of fun,
weight gained weight lost
where did that mini van come from?

My soul has seams pulled tight in all places
this way that way all in the same direction
Bound by gravity filled with light. 

Buzzed

By Frederick Kazar Evans
Buzzed by Inspiration - Prose Poem

It flies around buzzing here and there, we swat at it trying catch it, grab at it but miss. It taunts us with its ever-changing course nor fix or heading steered. Once alight so many chances do appear. We grasp it, hold it for that fear of the known, that it would soon break free, leave and disappear.


That fleeting chance how it comes and goes. That stubborn muse adrift in the ether, O how we yearn for its embrace. Inspired passion, creation and all the thoughts that explode buzzing here and there. We grasp it, hold it for that fear of the known, that it would soon break free, leave and disappear.


Buzzed by Inspiration

Flying around buzzing
my face and ears
no particular course set
no heading steered

Alighted in place
action inspired, off like a race
O how one loves its embrace
Thoughts explode with fast pace

So fleeting is the chance
How it comes and goes
Stubborn, with chance
adrift in the ether
