Since iTunes is so dog-slow on Windows, I'm looking for a good alternative that manages podcasts well. Bonus for syncing play counts, ratings, etc.
Edit: I'm not looking for a podcast-only app, I'm looking for a music manager that does well with podcasts.

MediaMonkey rocks. It can handle your music collection management, podcasts and it syncs with many different devices.

You might check out Songbird. Not only will it manage your local music, but it is very nice for finding music on the internet.

I don't have enough points to respond directly to a comment yet...
Although MediaMonkey is great, please be aware that even the latest version of MediaMonkey no longer synchronizes with the iPhone under the 3.0 OS. It's read-only. It worked fine with the 2.x OS, and it still works fine with my older generation iPods.

That doesn't seem to be the case anymore with the latest release: http://www.mediamonkey.com/news/2009/11/19/mediamonkey-3-2-released-syncs-with-the-latest-phones/

I used http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/ for a while, I found it quite attractive and useful. Now I use itunes, because I'm lazy.

@Aidan: I see. Might want to re-word the title also, though. – arathorn – 2009-07-22T16:20:59.073
