Podcast Software for Debian and Android -- with Synchronization! [Solved]

#1 Post by larry77 »

Dear All,
I have been using the combination of gpodder on debian and antennapod on my android phone to listen to my favorite podcasts for quite a while.
However, I want to call it a day because essentially the gpodder.net site does not do its job: either it does not synchronize the podcasts on different devices or it takes days at least to do so.

Now: do you have any alternatives to suggest? I am not asking for the moon: I want to have the possibility to listen to some podcasts on my debian box and my android phone and whenever I add/remove a subscription to one device, the other one should be aware of it.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

there are not any good podcast client for linux, most of them fails or not work properly.... i tried a lot of them several times..

My conclusions were.. just Cantata and Spotify worked well... I think Spotify is the best software available you can find to use as a podcast software in linux...I guess spotify also available in android and other platforms

Thanks.
Despite being non-foss, it looks like spotify is the best choice.
Happy to return to antennapod/gpodder if/when the synchronization becomes reliable.

Hi!
I am using gpodder from the standard repositories of Debian stable.
However, my problem is more with gpodder.net and the synchronization with antennapod on my mobile phone.
Do you have a better experience with the backported gpodder?
