That's why I was curious about a 3rd-party sync client like Banshee or Clementine. Those tools seem to support downloading and syncing podcast to a whole range of different players. Maybe the Walkman is one of those...?

Looking into switch to a A45 from my brand new iPod Touch 128gb because the device last only about 11h during simple music playback. Is there a way to automatically sync podcasts to the A45? Maybe by using a software like Clementine or Banshee? Is the maximum size of the SD card somehow...
