[Electronics-Talk] Question about the Blaze ET

I hope, being this is a blindness related electronic, that it's OK me 
asking this here. If not, then David, let me know, and I'll scease 
further discussion on the matter, I promise.


Currently, I own a Hims Blaze ET. Let me be very very clear, this is the 
E t! as in tango. Not the E Z, as in zooloo. Sometimes, I call it the 
Blaze alien. LOL! Just kidding. But no, in all seriousness, here's my 
question.


I know about hitting the number 6 from the main menu home screen to open 
up podcasts. What I am trying to do is, I have quite a few podcasts 
which I subscribe to. OK, I'm not my friend who has over 700 of them, 
LOL, but I do have a good amount. I can't recall how much capassity 
internally the flash disk has on those units, but, I have a 32GB SD card 
which I have in the unit.


With things like the Bard app under Library Services, I see a way to 
download by default to the SD card. I'm not, however, seeing such option 
with the podcasts app. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something 
obvious here. For me, though I own both an Android phone, and also an 
iPhone, and am extremely proficient with both, it's way easier for me 
doing podcasts on the Blaze. Not sure why, but it just feels much easier 
for me. I'm just a bit nurvous, as I do like archiving a fair amount of 
podcast eppisodes which I enjoy going back and listening to 
periodically. I'm scared though that eventually, I'm going to eat up all 
the space on my flash disk if I keep things up at the rate I'm going.


So, yeah, ultimately, is there a way by default that I can tell it with 
podcasts to download to my SD card? I'm finding it incredibly annoying 
having to manually go into the file manager, go to my flash disk's 
podcasts folder, find the podcast, then the mp3 eppisode, cut it, go 
back out to my sd card, go to its podcasts folder, find the sub folder 
for that podcast needed, then manually paste that cut file over there 
instead. That's just so much work! Surely, I'm hoping there is a way 
easier way to do this.


Yeah, I know, I could always plug the thing in to my PC and use data 
transfer mode, and move the stuff quicker that way, but again, I might 
not always be near a PC to do that.


Does anyone on here have any suggestions for dealing with this more 
efficiently?


Chris.
