Juice – error when I run in Vista.
iTunes – Apple is convinced that the way humans think is wrong, and they’re going to change that for you by not syncing to other mp3 players.
The previous comments show that nobody is going out of their way to create a good podcatcher for Vista PCs.

I was thinking and looking for a list of podcast directories. Thanks for the list and save me plenty of time.

Strike two. myPodder BLOWS. You have to create an account. You have to use their clunky website to subscribe to podcasts in their clunky software. Waste of time.

I have tried Miro so far and it is a buggy, crashing, internal error having unresponsive POS. I did not expect it from the #1 recommendation so maybe it is just my experience. On to the next, I guess.

Ah! I knew there’d be an article here! I got fed up with iTunes this morning and uninstalled it. I want things where I want them and how I want them! I was only using it out of apathy anyway as my iPod went south a long time ago and I tried Juice and gave up on something new when I couldn’t get it to work. Thanks all, I’ll be trying a few of these.

I use Juice on Vista

Do Miro or Juice offer an equivalent to iTunes “smart playlists”? That’s the #1 reason I use iTunes. I have a very specific set of rules for how I like to listen to my podcasts (for instance some playlists just for work, some just for walking, etc….), organized by date / times played / length and so on. I need to have a steady stream of podcasts, in logical order, just keep playing without me having to constantly change folders.

I’ve been using Ziepod on a couple of Vista Home Premium machines, including a dedicated Media Center PC for some time now; I’ve experienced no serious problems apart from an infrequent crash but Ziepod has always been a little buggy. You could try installing Ziepod in compatibility mode if you are cautious.

I use bashpodder, a shell script. Why have a bloated program and gui when you’re just grabbing a file from a url?

I also use the free version of Ziepod. I like it because it’s easy to get the downloaded podcasts from there to my mp3 player, and because it isn’t iTunes. I also had been using Juice, and became frustrated with it.

There hasn’t been a new release or an upgrade to Ziepod in some time now. I am using it with Win XP; don’t know if it will work with Vista or not. I hope so.

I use ZiePod (the free Podcast Receiver version) after Juice kept frustrating me. ZiePod has been working great for me, but that doesn't mean I won't be trying Miro. Just wanted to mention ZiePod in case others were interested in a pretty good podcast catcher (also does video podcasts and RSS feeds, but I use it exclusively for audio podcasts).

I was unaware of this as it seems iTunes does not do this by default. Thanks for pointing that out.

Your right! myPodder is excellent. It has been quite a long time since I’ve used it and then there were some slight issues with it but I would guess they have been worked out. If so, I would definitely recommend it also.

“iTunes, unlike Miro, does not minimize to the system tray ”

I don’t know what you did, but my iTunes is minimized in the system tray all the time. You just select “Minimize to system tray” option under preferences.

It’s possible to get Juice to work under Vista but it’s a pain in the behind, so much so that I wouldn’t recommend anyone bother. I agree with you Bob, it hasn’t had work on it for a very long time and even after contacting the lead team on Juice offering my assistance they’re still not moving forward on it. Pity though, it was the best podcatcher I had ever used.

@ Nick Volpe

This article had potential but I’d like to see one that lists perhaps 10 podcatchers so that people can hunt around further for other options that suit their needs. iTunes is bloatware and not a reasonable option for many of us geeks and Juice is all but dead, especially for Vista users. How about another article giving some others to look at … please?? Oh, by the way, thanks for listing Miro, I’ll be checking it out.

I use myPodder which is also fantastic. It is great for video podcasts too.

Just a note. I have never gotten Juice to work under Vista even when I have tried several tricks that people have suggested. From what I can see, no one has worked on it lately so I suspect that it never will.

No ZUNE love here. Too bad to because the Zune podware is really great with lots-o features.
