To do this, I think you'd be best off identifying the target source
through user interaction, perhaps by adding an item to the popup menu
for the source. It's probably difficult to find suitable sources by
looking through the source list.
You might have some difficulty matching up entries in the removable
media source with podcast episodes, as the data for the podcast episode
entry is taken from the podcast feed while the album/artist/title data
for the entry on the removable media will be read from the tags in the
file. These are often completely different. I'm not sure if there's a
good solution to this..
Transferring entries to a removable device is easy enough - pass a list
of RhythmDBEntry objects to rb_source_paste. Deleting entries is
slightly uglier at the moment. You'd need to change the selection
in the source's entry view, then call rb_source_delete. Something like
this:
void
delete_entry_from_source (RBSource *source, RhythmDBEntry *entry)
{
RBEntryView *view;
view = rb_source_get_entry_view (source);
rb_entry_view_select_none (view);
rb_entry_view_select_entry (view, entry);
rb_source_delete (source);
}
