Hey Everyone,

A tech trivia question: I have a freeware podcast client (Lime) and I
have it pointed to an xml page with feeds (files various languages).  I
figure I can hack the "genres" of the client and relabel as languages. 
However, I have no expertise or idea what to do to keep my students from
downloading all new podcast items regardless of language.  If I succeed
in getting the client to display categories as "languages" will students
be able to download one category/language?

Has anyone met a client or developed a solution to this idea/problem? 
I would welcome input.

Thanks in advance for your time and trouble.

Tracy.
