Nice looking app, but the last thing I need is another player.

What I really need is a single interface for Google Music, Amazon MP3, Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu, EPIX and TuneIn Radio rather than the gaggle of apps I currently flip between.

I already upgraded to pro, but it still wants 5 bucks to add the ability to subscribe to podcasts. Kind of getting sick of getting charged for every new feature they add. Might start looking for a new media player.

Hi Larry, unfortunately we didn’t have time to do variable speed playback for v1 of the podcast feature. It’s on our roadmap but we’re not going to be using Presto though as it doesn’t support AAC and also has an additional cost for the user.

Good point, Larry; I wonder how many people that listen to podcasts want or need that feature? I don’t, but I can certainly see why others do. I have to ping the DT people about something else, so I’ll pass along your feedback. Thx!

Until DoubleTwist supports variable speed playback, as DoggCatcher does using the Presto third party library, I won’t consider using it as a podcatcher. Speeding up podcasts is invaluable.
