Tagcache and playlist
Llorean:
Solution: Put your podcasts in one folder. Put your music under a folder called "Music". Insert the music folder shuffled, so that only the music is played.

The problem is (as discussed in the other thread) is that jmdennis is using TagCache and wants to differentiate between podcasts and non-podcasts by tag. However, we have still not got to the bottom of that problem, so the same question keeps getting raised.
@jmdennis - Llorean's solution is perfect if you wish to change to using the file browser. However, if you still want to use Tag Cache, then please answer the question(s) I put to you in the other thread and we will sort it out:

I have some podcast that show no tag under artist but others have the speaker.
OK, well that's a start...
Can you check all the other tags (title, album, genre, even bitrate). If there is something unique in one of those that all your podcasts share, but your music doesn't, it can be used to filter the Tag Cache results.

All of these are mp3's. I have imported my music in as .ogg so I do not know if some thing can be written to exclude mp3's or not.
Just the difference between MP3 and OGG can be used, if all your podcasts are MP3 and all your music is OGG. You could start with something like this in your custom tagnavi file:
Code:
%format "fmt_disp_trk" "%02d %s" tracknum title
%menu_start "Podcasts" "Podcasts"
"Podcasts" -> album ? filename $ ".mp3" -> title = "fmt_strip_trk"

I import my podcast using the apple firmware. The reason for this is because I do not have to change podcast that may have a ? mark at the end of it. I do though if I copy over the files on the rockbox side. I also like the fact that the top podcast is by date which I know I can do using tagcache if I wanted to. I did not see this comment in the music count as I have not been keeping an eye on this.
bascule:
Sorry, but you keep failing to answer the questions.
1. Can you live with Llorean's workaround?
If so, this thread is closed. If not:
2. Do you want me to help you differentiate podcasts and music using Tag Cache?
If so, let me know how you got on with the custom Tag Cache menus using the .ogg/.mp3 differentiation.
If not, this thread is closed.
Llorean:
Well, Rockbox isn't really going to code around problems created by other software. It's evident that several solutions to his problem exist, and one of the simplest ones is "stop using a program that renames your files and sticks them in unpredictable places." :)
He could also make sure all his podcasts have a proper genre tag, and then shuffle everything not that genre, right?
