Other than that, just looking forward to hopeful future easier/more support for adding audio/video/photo podcasts, internet radio (got mine working, but it was more work/odd than other clients) and a2dp support(seems like Nokia should have that done...). I wouldn't mind a sleep timer too... (:

BTW, I tried installing Kagu several times and only got it to work once by removing ALL of my music and video and e-mail files(so there were only a couple demo songs on my n800). And after each install/uninstall more of my app memory is missing... So I'm rating Canola WAAY ahead of Kagu! (:

Thanks!

Hi Levi, yes we are looking into those 2 problems:

1) it seems that today canola cannot deal with those "out of standards" feeds, that does not place the mp3 file in the correct tags, like the second one you sent.. places inside the CDATA sections, CDATAS are actually comments, so the parser kind of ignores it :/

We will add support for this lazy done feeds, but it just like the web, you have a standard, some other player goes there pushes people to other direction (like itunes) and everyones is inside a nightmare of compatibility.

2) add easier: Chenca, already added to a development version of the tuning application a small feed handler, that gives you option once you click on a feedlink (then on the feed icon on the bar that appears) letting you save as canola podcast, photocast or iradio.(or even add to the default media player) but I think it still a little complicated, of course you don need to control+c control+v nothing or even open canola, but we will see if we can get a better extension to work, that will just open the same choice once you click on a feed "preview, add to canola?"

BR

Thanks for the support!
