I have been using gpodder since I got my N800 2 years ago and the recent updates have made huge improvements (especially on speed to startup). Everything in the new update works like a charm.

Quick question to thp: in that last screen shot what media player are you using?

I don't mind media player playing my files, but that is a pretty slim little UI you have there. Thanks again for all the hard work, it really is a great program and facilitates the best thing I use my N800 for.
