Thanks. Hard to say. For me and my acquaintances, podcast listening has never been greater and we are constantly finding new podcasts to listen to (and new podcasts are constantly coming out). My wife has practically stopped watching TV so she can keep up with her podcasts. LMS is a different story. The underlying product has long been discontinued so we're lucky that they allow one developer, Michael, to occasionally work on LMS to keep things working. He has made spotify work and done some work to make podcasts play that had quit playing. Haven't used android, but the free podcast app on my iphone works perfectly. It consolidates 100s of podcast shows, automatically downloads new shows, deletes listened to shows, saves one's place in a show if not finished so you can start where you left off. In short, it functions very well as a podcast manager, at least for use on my iphone, where I do most of my podcast listening while exercising or traveling. *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet, Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>LMS 7.9.2>Squeezelite *The Wild (no internet): *PiCorePlayer 4.0 on rPi 3B+, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpa > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110215 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
