I've been really happy with Doggcatcher. Yes, to get multispeed playback you have to purchase the Presto library (which I think is used by some other podcast clients to offer multispeed playback as well), but if I recall correctly the price of Presto is less than the price of Doggcatcher, so the combined price is less than $10 (though it's been more than a year since I bought them).
What I like about Doggcatcher (besides the fact that stuff just works, and it has a bunch of features) is that they tend to track platform improvements pretty closely, so they had a tablet version early on, and now that ICS offers integration with the lockscreen play controls, they've added support for that. So now while running I can hit the skip forward/backward buttons to skip commercials or relisten to stuff I missed ( https://plus.google.com/116539451797396019960/posts/9xwK49Kwc6T ) (I haven't tried any other clients since this setup works for me (and it's what Dick recommended to me when I was disappointed by Listen a year ago), so it's more than possible that the other clients mentioned in this thread are better, but for me, it works really well and is super configurable (with episode playlists, options for auto-downloading and auto-deleting etc) so I haven't bothered looking at anything else. -- Tor On Sunday, March 11, 2012 2:01:54 PM UTC-7, raks wrote: > > thanks for the info guys. > > I've gone back to my iPhone (minus SIM so I guess iPod?).
