I agree its not an ideal solution but I guess it depends how you want
it all to work. I have replaced the standard browse menus with the
non-podcast library menus using the custom browse so I don't see the
podcasts when browsing, but I like the fact that I can still search for
them if I do want to listen to them. 

Another plus point is that you can set up any dynamic/sql playlists
that you have just to play songs from the active library, so for
example all the random playlists just play the music from this
non-podcast library. Obviously everyones wants and needs are different
but thats the beauty of these plugins.

I agree about the annoying tagging of podcasts, I have had the same
problem before where 90% of one podcast had genre podcast and the other
10% had comedy or spoken or something else. Very annoying! 

I look forward to hearing about any podcast plugin you develop.
