pMusic 5.1.3 includes a new way of managing podcasts. There is no code left from the old grabber, and in fact, the new one can hardly be called a grabber at all - since the main idea is to stream podcasts directly from the web, instead of downloading them.


Find podcast

pMusic ships with a few podcast channels just as examples. These are of course not the one you like. - We are all unique. So, if interested in podcasts, you should do the one-click install of the index holding around 24 thousand channels. The web-address to every channel has been checked during index-build to be alive. All channels is linked to a category.

Browse the categories and find your favorite channel. Double-click to check out the available podcasts, and double-click the podcast you like to hear it. - So simple.

The podcasts you have listened to will be marked. The icon color changes from yellow to green (dot) when start playing. This will stay green also in the future, so you will easily see if there has been released new podcasts since last time. In the image below we see 2 fresh podcasts...

The image also shows that you can search the huge podcast index. This must be activated in the search dock.


Add podcast channel

pMusic separates the podcast channels set up by the user from the indexed channels. This is shown in the image above as My Podcasts. You can of course add a new channel manually (menu->Music sources->Podcast->Setup), but if you find a channel in the index, it is easier to add it directly. Select the channel and click Add channel to My podcasts.


Set timestamp

If you start listening to a podcast, but does not have the spare time to hear everything, it would be great to store a timestamp to know where to start next time. This is done in Menu->Playqueue->Add timestamp to favorites. It will then show up in favorites, and double-click will start playing at given position.


Download

If you want to keep a podcast, it is of course possible to download it. Every podcast in the playqueue will be downloaded during export. Just remember that the Convert exported tracks option has to stay active.
