Hello. I have just bought a Shuffle for listening to Podcast to saturate my ears with the language I am studying. I have a Classic for Pimsleur and audiobooks, so Shuffle is just for the ear saturation.

Question is, is there a way to play Podcast in shuffle mode?
Is there a way to convert them into non-Podcast files so that I can
create a playlist to Autofill and shuffle play the files?

I've searched around the net and Apple discussion forum, but I couldn't find any answers for this. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!!

I have copied the files onto the desktop, used ID3 Editor to change the genre and imported the files back to iTunes library. Thank you so much for your support. Cheers!!

Assuming your playlist is OR instead of AND, add the Podcast criteria to your playlist.

Podcasts are automatically checked with "Skip when Shuffling" (under "Options"). You can select all of them, get info, and change that setting to "No."
