I see no reason they couldn't do both...but yes, mp3 would be the choice for single format support. > so we need a single xml feed listing all podcasts (& 'listen again' > shows) ? Ideally, yes. Last time I tried (a little while ago I admit) I could use the website to find podcasts, but then I had to copy the RSS links into a podcast application (slimserver, or itunes or whatever) one by one. Other sites have single lists with everything, some even have Top 10 or categorized lists. Makes it much easier, and fully automated - which after all is the point of podcasts. Also, there should be no distinction between "listen again" and podcasts, the data is the same it's just a different presentation. They should merge these confusing offerings into a single service which allows access to past shows in a number of formats - both podcasted and direct streaming for immediate listening. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18096 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
