Description
The id3 tag feature is great. It would be nice to have a feature that would allow user defined mungeing of id3 tags, per podcast.
For instance, ThoughtAudio.com tend to release audio books as a number of episodes all at once, with the feed giving all the episodes the same name. When hpodder downloads all the episodes, it will give them all the same id3 track name. Loading this up in the ipod means that the sort order will be lost. It would be nice to have a line similar to the following in ThoughtAudio's configuration section:
id3track = %(epnumber)d-%(eptitle)s
Even something like
id3track = %(filename)s
would work in this case.
There are simple workarounds for cases like this (e.g. making a playlist in the iPod or even just editing the id3 tags by hand), and these cases may not come up very often, but it would be a nice feature, hence the minor priority.
