Re: [apple-iphone] Podcast Listeners Rejoice

I listen to between 1 and 5 audio books a week and have most of my music on my phone. I never have to dig through the music to find the books I have on my iPhone.

The same is true for my iPod Classic. I only keep Windows formatted audio books I can not get formatted for Apple on my iPod nano.

A word from the other side of the fence…

I listen to a lot of audio books. I get frustrated when I have to dig thru over 200 music selections looking for a ill named audio book.

Same with Apple TV, the default is music. I want to see a movie.

How do people survive when they have thousands of music selections?

Hopefully with the new podcast software at least podcasts will have there own home.
