Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Podcast Listeners Rejoice

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.
