Another plus for Downcast is that if you're playing a video file or podcast, you can choose to have only the audio play.
I've found the last few updates to be a bit sluggish and crashing is an issue, but I don't know if that's a function of my over 60 podcast feeds, but the dev is always updating and addressing bugs, so hopefully the app will continue to improve in features and stability. They're both very solid apps, but I do find myself using Downcast much more often than iCatcher. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Woody Anna Dresner Sent: Friday, February 15, 2013 6:51 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Icatch or downcast? Hi, Yes Downcast can do this. First, you need to get the files into Downcast. These can be any unprotected audio format the iPhone can play. Downcast can bring files in from the iPHone's iTunes library, you can use iTunes file sharing to copy a file from your computer, or you can use an app like Dropbox or Filer to export the file to Downcast. Once the file or files are in Downcast, go to Tools and choose IMport Files. You import them into a podcast that is named by default"Imported" followed by the current date and time. As with actual podcasts, you can configure the speed and other options, and Downcast keeps your place as you listen to the files. It's very cool.

Or, is that iCatcher, and if so how does that work. I could definitely use that.
