Caveat: I don't listen to podcasts, so this is based on a very brief experiment. gPodder is in the Debian repository, so it should be available to the derivatives. It produced mp3 formatted files for NPR's MoneyTalk without any special configuration. It does behave similar to Clementine in that it started to grab all available files, but it does have obvious feedback as to what it is doing. The MoneyTalk podcast is an included demo subscription. I did get it to play ball with CNN's podcasts. The biggest issue there was figuring out what URL to grab (the RSS feed.) That too produced an mp3.

Or maybe it was a matter of finding the "right" URL. Clementine is one of only two I had that was able to find podcasts via search, and the only one that successfully found and parsed the feeds. -- Drew

It looks like they overhauled the API/ditched the free access key. That seems to be the general tendency with popular single point of information sources these days.

When there are over a dozen, and most of them fail in the same way for me ... it's past time for a shakeout in the population of apps. -- Drew
