Downloading podcasts?

UKflames · 30 Jun 2006 at 13:40

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to podcasts, so any help would be appreciated.

I want to download some podcasts but I don't know what software to use? I don't have an Ipod (I have a creative) and I don't want to use Itune$.

What are the best and cheapest alternatives??

Cheers one and all

I use Juice which is a free program. If the website you get your podcasts from has an rss feed for the podcast, then Juice will automatically download the new podcast for you. It also has a built in directory of podcasts you can browse.

There is also Doppler but I havn't tried that myself.

Cheers Mr L, that looks pretty good and easy to use, I'll give it a try.

Any other suggestions anyone????

lol come to this thread late - Juice is very good (unless you have an iPod of course - iTunes has podcasting software built-in, although personally I don't think it's very good, and it seems to eat up quite a few CPU cycles when it's working) and I've tried Doppler and a few others. Juice still comes out on top - fully featured, small and fast

I use Juice too. Not perfect but the best I have found having also used iTunes and Doppler.

Its a shame that there isnt a way to access the podcast section of iTunes from a linux based client really. Thats something i'd be very interested in myself.
