a REALLY Newbie question...

Let’s see, where was that DB-9 serial patch cable and gender changer?

Nah, it’s far easier than that, if you have your podcasts stored in your Windows Media Player library.  Plug in your Sansa. For this first time, when you open Windows Media Player, and click on the Sync Tab_,_ click cancel when the dialog box pops up to set up sync.  We can set this up later.

On to your podcasts.  Simply drag and drop them to the sync pane , the open list on the right side of the screen.  Then send them over to the Sansa by clicking on the start sync button in the lower right.  Bingo.
