My tweets for the night tell the story:
- I can’t believe everyone missed the biggest feature of iTunes 8.
- Podcast controls have been moved out of iTunes Preferences (cmd+,) and into their own window from the Podcast view.
- In that podcast view, one can see the how often iTunes checks for new episodes and how many to keep.
- The killer feature is that these settings are now able to be applied to podcasts individually, not all-or-nothing. This is amazing.
- Personally, I’ve been asking for this feature for a very long time. It’s handy.
- Moving the prefs out of iTunes Preferences signals that podcasting isn’t a focus of Apple’s anymore, though. It’s separated from novices.
What do you think?
Heh, we had that on Marketing Over Coffee yesterday
AH, darn!
I hadn’t listened yet. But hey, I think it’s still pretty awesome.
Did you guys reach the same conclusion about Apple’s stance on podcasting that I did?
