I use iTunes with an Apple macmini to get the podcast. I have an iPod Touch which also means I can download podcasts without the PC among many other uses it has for me. Only use macmini for iTunes and for the video camera. All the rest is on my Ubuntu PC.
Hi there, kewl podcast this is the first time I have listened to this podcast.
Yes I download through itunes basically because it downloads podcasts the easiest for me and work nicely with my 2 ipods. I will be checking Songbird out soon but I dont think the ipod is at the same level though. AND I dont think songbird can do podcast downloads.
I dont really ‘use’ twitter or identi.ca but I have signed up for a twitter account.
I am dabbling with Ubuntu, I have installed with Wubi on my machine. I am working towards getting rid of Windows XP one day soon.
My comment isn’t related to this specific episode…
Have you ever talked about pkgbase in the podcast? You should!
Please read here: http://fosswire.com/pkgb/
I think everyone should use a pkgbase link when suggesting to install software.
Cheers!
