n97 podcasting app wrong folder/order — Nokia Nseries S60 5.0 phones (Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 mini)

Hi all,
i have an n97 (mini actually) and use it for grabbing (over wifi) podcasts. I used to have an n85, which i also used to listen and grab podcasts.

While the n97 does download the podcasts, it puts them in a folder [MassStorage\Podcasts\Sounds\]. When i go to listen to them, they are ordered from newest to oldest, reverse of what it was on my n85, and also do not show the appropriate album art. However, if i copy all the podcasts into my [MassStorage\Sounds] folder and put them within as many sub folders as i want, they appear as podcasts in my music library, ordered properly oldest to new, and show the correct album art.

I believe this is a bug, anyone else see this problem? I am running v10.2.020.242.01 and rm-553. It is annoying when i am a podcast or two behind, i cannot listen to them in order. Anyway to tell the podcasting app to put my podcasts in [MassStorage\Sounds] ?

I have been using "nokia podcasting". The app usually works fine, and like i said was great on my n85. but there is something weird with whatever version is on the n97(mini), and it definately could be fixed if the podcasts just were saved to the [MassStorage\Sounds\] folder.

I just listen to "Buzz Out Loud" (a tech podcast from cnet.com)

I would like to know the folder structure for podcasts on an updated n97 or n97 mini. Do they differ from what i posted?
