Stuart Langridgeok, peeps, I'm looking for advice on Android podcasting apps. Since they all cost money, I'm loath to try them out (I don't mind paying, but paying and refunding a bunch of them is annoying). The main things I'm looking for are: downloading new episodes without having to be told; some way to cap the amount of stored files to a filesize limit (so if we're up to say 400MB of downloads, remove the oldest one, or similar); ideally some way to add subscriptions from my desktop machine. Suggestions?
kelbot@sil Might I suggest an alternative approach.
I have a https://github.com/dvehrs/podget running as a cron job on a server at home that pulls down new podcasts and also deletes old ones. Then that directory is synced to my android phone and my laptop every night with syncthing. A benefit to this is you can sync to however many devices you want and you can use whichever app you want to listen to them.
