iTunes, w/ Podcast vs iPodder: 0-10
First of all, I’ve been waiting for this new iTunes, with the support for podcasts.
Just downloaded it, and installed it. What is new, how is it done..
And: what a dissapointment!!! 
I will explore it more later, but the first impression is: This sucks, let me use iPodder.
The reasons for using iPodder are:
- Easy to add the RSS-link
- Schedule multiple checks.
- As I add a podcast, iPodder make a playlist with the episodes.
And what are iTunes doing wrong?
- So far, no place to add RSS-links
- I can set checks to Every hour (for the paranoid), daily (but not specify hour), weekly (for the very slow) OR manually. Nothing of this is even close to iPodder.
- No playlist is being made here, the podcast-episode isn’t even added to my Liberary, no genre, nothing of what is useful.
I don’t know what Apple have been thinking of, but this is a big dissapointment. They have clearly not understood how users use podcasts, how we organize it, and how it has to be done.
Developers at Apple: look at iPodder, and understand how it shall be done.
If someone knows one of the “brains” behind this release, could you please tell them to do the job better next time? Version 4:9 of iTunes is not only missing the target, but shows a lack of understanding podcasting!
I think I’ll stick to iPodder, iTunes with “podcast-support” isn’t what we need.
