Hi folks, A week ago I had to learn the fact that an iPod Nano doesn't survive the washing machine. I'm not exactly sad about that because iPod syncing with Linux has always been a mess anyway and for my next player there will be one certain requirement: no more Apple.
But since I've been handling all my podcasts with gPodder for a long time I think it's best to just ask around here if you have any recommendations for a new player. I would like to go for a cheap solution: No video or any file format besides MP3 is needed and 4 GB is enough. And since I'm a podcast fan and barely listen to music on the device, I would like it to somehow be podcast aware: - It would be nice to somehow have podcasts and music seperated on the player. I don't want a "music library" where I have to look for the podcasts between all the music. Basically simple file-system browsing is all I need. - The player should remember the position for each single podcast and resume there later. I often switch between different very long podcasts and it's nice not to have to manually search for the last position. This is the most important feature and what I actually liked about the iPod. - The fast-forwarding shouldn't be too slow. I hate it when I accidentally hit a button in a 3 hour podcasts and then have to hold the fast-forward button for 5 minutes because it's so slow. A week ago I bought a Philips GoGear SA1942, but I'm going to send it back because it's exactly missing a good resume and fast-forward and that sucks. So if you have a good player you're happy with, please let me know. :) Sebastian _______________________________________________ gpodder-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-devel
