integration with podcasts/similar feeds: Does anyone have feedback on how this player works with podcasts or similar audio/video feeds?

Creative has a a program called zencast. You paste all your feeds into it and it will put all your podcast in one folder. If your interested in vidcasts(video podcasts) it gets more complicated. The majority of these are in Ipod format(m4v) and need to be converted. Zencast does this but really slowly. More vidcasts are starting to make more formats available, and I think in a short time this should not be a problem.

Yes it does support both, though I have yet to try these features out. It comes with its own software for downloading and organizing podcasts and it also supports Audible.

It does and you will have to first go to the settings and chose that option. It picks right up from the song I last ended with. Not certain about podcasts, but I man Confident it would.

I haven't tried that yet, but will ask my husband to do it tonight if he has a wall adaptor and then let you know. It won't play MP4's though, only MP3.

I did use media player, and I also downloaded from media player to their format. I found it was easier to download and use their program.

Horribly, because it doesn't seem to stay on the network very well. I've had two now, the first sent back to ASUS because it wouldn't work, the second is now still not really working. The few times I did try to stream audio, it worked, somewhat but would stop playing at random. (or are you not asking how well, but 'what technique do you use?') To make it work, you use apple airplay as I recall, I didn't try it with a PC though. It just shows up on airplay if the settings are right in the web setup UI.

That's a drag - personally live365 is a waste. last.fm would be better - even though THEY aren't the best - BUT I do like Pandora and that being on the unit is enough.Thanks.

I've transferred podcasts from iTune and it works great, I think it would work the same way with audiobooks.Just so you know, I don't think it can connect directly to iTunes, you would have to find the audiobook file in the file system and then transfer it to the player if you have a Mac you can right click the file in iTunes and select "Show In Finder". Also note that it seems like it has a difficulty loaded large files, it works but i suggest to split the large file to multiple small ones. Enjoy,N

AIOS does not support this useful and there is no sign of further product feature implementation. VLC is a great open source with these cool features. Unfortunately, it is not support in media player. Hope it helps.

It's better! Best addition I've found so far is Tune-In is embedded and works very well. Much, much better navigation and user experience than the GraceNote radio (which makes me crazy, it's so, so, so poor!) I just really hope the hardware is solid - this is my 2nd Squeezebox. Last one became ejunk.

Yes indeed! I tested a bunch of different programs and they all worked fine inclusing Audible. :)

yeah, that's how I have mine set up. I use it for audio only, so I cannot comment on the video. but it allows me to stream my google play music from my tablet into a 2 channel input on my receiver (zone 2). works well for that.

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

I just bought a DB30K player. I freaked out when I saw your post. What LFE issue are you talking about and how will it affect a novice user?Michael

Yes it does. I use it for my podcast regularly and have had no trouble at all. Cheers

Can't answer all of the Qs, but I current use it for the Movie and TV Show portion of my iTunes library and it works very well indeed.

There isn't much to set up... stations and that's it. Not complicated at all. Go for it. The audio input is very useful for external sources such as I-pod.
