Re: Something very important to consider when switching to the new podcasts app in catalina re: backing up

['Devin Prater' via MacVisionaries]

I mean, it’s Apple. There are other options available, like Downcast for 
Podcasting, and Emacs with Emacspeak for reading ePub books. Apple is meant to 
be easy to use, good for people who just want to get stuff done, whether it be 
on iOS or macOS, thank goodness.

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Sounds like the same style as Apple Books.  There are ways of determining the 
title, but of course this isn't an intuitive process.  I'm guessing that the 
idea is that they want you to use their app to listen, and using it will be 
easy enough, but if you choose to use a third party solution, you'll have to 
jump through hoops.

Later...
