Some of us listen to a specific section of each podcast episode. The section is indicated in the episode text by hh:mm:ss.
iPod has this feature (start offset set on the podcast episode through iTunes).

It would be great to view podcasts based on the directory the podcasts are in. This would avoid confusion of having a podcast with an episode name that is different from the name of the podcast itself. Ideally, podcasts could be viewed like files are viewed on Windows. Playlists could be created from a directory or individual podcasts played from within a directory.

I use Stitcher at the moment, but really like where you're going with this app. In Stitcher, the main setup is a playlist, and it plays the latest episode of each podcast in your editted order. If you've listened to the latest episode, it marks episode as listened to, and it doesn't skip to the next episode - it just skips to the next podcast. This would be extremely helpful as in the car, it is difficult to set up playlists. If you can't do something like this, perhaps limit the Latest Episode filter to one episode to each podcast?

add option to hide downloaded podcasts in other music applications (like google music). the placement of a .nomedia in d/l dir didntt worked

L'application peut elle être compatible avec le boîtier Sony NSZ-GS7 GoogleTV. Intéressant pour les podcasts vidéos sur une TV dont ceux de la Chaîne Techno que je suis en particulier ?

I would like to see the app support the last.fm api
I have yet to find an podcast app that supports it and its something I have been looking for in a podcast app but have yet to find.

For those interested to use the mp3 file, I suggest to name the file of the episode as the title of the RSS file. ( <item> <title> <title> ) and not to use the end of the url to name the file.

Add an option in Parameters --> Download : if battery is in load.

show the size of each episode downloaded.

Add ability to change the feed encoding (UTF8 / ISO-8859-1) to let the correct display of some special characters depending the language used by the podcast.

I would like to start/stop playing without powering up phone when I'm outside.

You should note how well Podcast Addict receives XML feed URL's from Chrome to Phone allowing one to easily subscribe to new podcasts from their computer. This has been working really well for me since I frequently encounter new podcasts while on my laptop.

There must be thousands and thousands of podcast feeds. Why only 20 or so suggestions.

Permet par exemple de lancer la lecture automatiquement lorsque le téléphone se connect au système bluethoot d'une voiture !

Some podcasts (example: Glenn Beck) have taken to including both full length and condensed versions of a show in the same RSS feed; and then some shows just don't keep to a predictable length. In both cases it would be useful to auto-download the short episodes and just skip the too-long ones.
