#276114 - 15/02/2006 18:31 Best Simple Video/PodCast download client
ShadowMan addict Registered: 09/06/1999 Posts: 559 Loc: Newfoundland, Canada	I'm trying to find a program that works and will automatically download video (DLTV) and audio (Twit) podcasts. I don't seem to be having any luck with anything I try. I tried fireant, itunes and now yahoo! iTunes seemed to be the most promising but either I just didn't "get it" or it really sucked in the usability department. Anybody out there got any good suggestions? Thanks! Rene _________________________ 12 gig empeg Mark II, SN: 080000101 30 gig RioCar SN: 30103114 My blog

I watch both the shows you mentioned, and I just go to the sites. At the moment I watch/listen to: Engadget DL.TV TWiT Diggnation Systm InDigital Basically all the old Screen Savers people and Engadget. I'm thinking about dropping DL.TV, though. Robert is okay, but Patrick doesn't realize that he is so intensely annoying. He drives me up the wall every time he goes off on some stupid tangent that he thinks is so incredibly funny. Stay on topic! And TWiT is getting annoying too. Leo is getting out of touch and is a complete Mac fanboy (not always bad, but he refuses to acknowledge anything Windows related in a positive manner), and Dvorak is, well, he's Dvorak. I can't stand him or that Steve Gibson guy. I don't know if it's a generational thing, but those guys bug me. At the moment my favorites are Engadget, Diggnation, and InDigital. Peter and Ryan stay on topic, Kevin and Andy have a good time, and the folks on InDigital put out the most polished vidcast I've seen yet. _________________________ Matt

I like the tangents the thing I don't like about DLTV is they don't really show that much it could be audio only with little loss of content. What I really want to see is tivo do what they are doing with rocketboom with more vidcasts. _________________________ Matt

Looks nice enough but it seems to be audio only. _________________________ 12 gig empeg Mark II, SN: 080000101 30 gig RioCar SN: 30103114 My blog

You are right... it doesn't care if it's video or audio. I think I like it. It actually seems to work properly and is simple to use. Not bloated at all! Now to load up on geek stuff! Thanks!

msaeger carpal tunnel Registered: 23/09/2000 Posts: 3608 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	This thread inspired me to start using juice again. There are two features that I would like that it doesn't have. One is that it would let me auto set the genre tag to whatever I want so I don't get some set to podcast and some to vocal. Two it would be nice if it had some notification of when new stuff has been downloaded. Anyone know of another program with these features. I tried ipodderx and didn't like that one at all. _________________________ Matt
