Issue: gPodder truncates Podcasts on an iPod to one hour / 60 minutes

After uploading podcasts from gPodder to an iPod all Podcasts are truncated to 1 hour in length. The solution (in most cases) is to install python-pymad which will determine the track length accurately. More recent versions of gPodder use a default of 3 hours rather than 1 hour.
