we use retrospect server on a Windows box to back up our macs to external hard drives, we've never had any problems recovering data back to macs. Storring files in their native mac format can be an issue - if you wish to use any mac file naming conventions that break Windows file name rules

Hi Sev, It seems to me that if you download the mp3 file - ie the download audio link (for Radio National) then iTunes handles it like a music file (with a genre of podcast) - however if you subscribe to the podcast then iTunes puts them in the Podcasts library. I'm also finding this frustrating
