OK, since someone wants it, I've implemented support for Atom feeds
like the Google one posted above. If you want to try it out before I
release it - comments always welcome - then the latest development
installer is here:
http://download.webbie.org.uk/tests/WebbIE3.msi

It updates the whole WebbIE suite, of course. If anyone just wants the
updated EXE, just mail me. I've also improved feed handling, I hope,
so more feeds will work. Fingers crossed!

Best wishes,
Alasdair King

Don't think so, haven't tried yet though. I agree with you, don't like any
of the podcast clients. Wish there was an easy one that would basically
manage everything, like automatically scanning the podcasts I'm subscribed
to, alerting me when a new ones are available, then asking me which shows
I'd like to download. It's not great with Juice when you just want to
download one radio show of each, or managing the podcasts properly. I've
heard of a podcast manager which you can buy, can't remember its name, but it apparently even downloads the programs and transfers them automatically
to your player, isn't that bril! What also irritates me is that providers
like Radio Netherlands automatically assume you use Itunes, or that you want to use it, you can't sub to there podcasts because they don't give you the
feed link.
