Too true, and why I stopped using iTunes to manage my podcasts. And with the changes they've been making to the program I doubt it's gotten any better.Simple Torture wrote:2. I don't use the "delete after I listen" feature because my iPod isn't synced with my iTunes library. I'm extremely anal about how everything is organized so I don't trust my computer to know what I want deleted and what I want to keep.

I'm on Stitcher. Which is fine. I'm not a big podcaster so it works just fine for me.

Re: What podcasts are you listening to?
If I wasn't using my iPod classic, I'd definitely switch to a different app for podcast/music management. I'm sure that sometime in the near future, either me or the baby will drop it on the floor and it'll shatter into a million pieces; when that happens, I'll switch to something that doesn't have such awful software.

I don't think you can shatter the old iPods. I'm like 99% sure you could play football with it and be totally fine. Just don't dunk it in the tub.Simple Torture wrote:If I wasn't using my iPod classic, I'd definitely switch to a different app for podcast/music management.

What's wrong with the iPod classic?
I still use mine. It doesn't have enough space to carry my entire library (it's a 160GB) but I have a playlist called "iPod" that I use to sync the music. And I also sync podcasts.

Re: What podcasts are you listening to?
Nothing wrong with the classic (I love mine), it's just that I know that if it breaks, I can't get a new one (unless I want to pay an eBay markup). My iPod video lasted about 5 years until I dropped it on the kitchen floor and fucked up the hard drive. My newer one (the last model they made) feels less substantial, like it could definitely break apart if I dropped it. I have a case but I take it out when using some speakers, so that's the danger area.

So far, the only one that I really couldn't listen to was 25. Christ. The first minute or two just made me skip it and I'm not the least bit interested to know what happened.Simple Torture wrote:I got through the first three episodes of Sword and Scale just fine, but the episode about the kidnapped little girl was oof.
