iTunes: How to convert podcasts to normal music entries

Just found the solution to making podcasts into permanent/normal music entries while clicking around in iTunes 10 today.

I’ve wanted to-do this for a while after listening to some talks I really liked, and would to keep those, but not the bigger podcast they were part of:

itunes podcasts listened to
itunes podcasts listened to

First select the tracks you wish to keep, right click, and choose  “Create MP3 Version”:

itunes select and create MP3 version
itunes select and create MP3 version

Then wait for them to process, and they appear in you normal music library, tagged and every thing:

itunes and there they are
itunes and there they are

Right next to your Red Hot Chile Peppers ;-)
