You can certainly play podcasts directly from the Touch. You need the Podcasts app for that. Go to www.mysqueezebox.com, log in, and add the app, under All Apps - Podcast services. You can add/modify/remove the podcast feeds through that web site. However, you can add the app itself to the main

There is a bug in the Squeezeplay playing some Podcast (at least the BBC ones). It seems the touchtoPlay part is not working. When you drill down through the menus levels down to an actual podcast - the UI on the Touch (and I think other Squeezeplay) will not actually play the podcast - just

Americana is RSS format not OPML format. The issue is not the correctness of the OPML format as handling of OPML list of RSS for Squeezeplay by SBS is broken but handling of OPML of RSS for Web and older players (e.g. SB3) is OK. The major change in 7.6 was onebrowser which was the unification
