Hey Nick, Yeah, I keep thinking well if I have a long hospital stay at least I will have a lot to listen to. Of course, hopefully that never happens. I guess I really need to trim the fat and just delete some of the podcasts that I never get around to listening to, mostly tech podcasts as you are right who has the time. What I am going to try and do is open Downcast on the iMac this weekend and let it run for a bit and see if it corrects itself. I guess worst case if it completely freezes the computer again I wil ljust delete it from the iMac and start over like on the iPhone, as after the reinstall on the iPhone it works good again. I have an iPhone 5S coming if it ever gets here and the main reason I got it was to move to a 64 gig phone so I could download a lot of the episodes I want to keep, not sure if that will help things, but we shall see. Do you stream your episodes on the iMac or just download everything on the iMac since you have more room? Thanks On Oct 11, 2013, at 1:14 AM, Nicholas Parsons <[email protected]> wrote:
