Goodbye iPodderX, hello NetNewsWire 2.0 beta??
Since we reformatted the iMac and reinstalled iPodderX earlier this week, iTunes is once again filled with the dross (and the occasional gold nugget) which iPodderX downloads so indiscriminately when the AutoCheck feature is activated. Problem is, iPodderX doesn't allow you to preview the content of RSS feeds before you download them, so you either have to go directly to the feed source for a description or spend minutes each day winnowing the crud downloaded into iTunes.
That's why we're loving the new NetNewsWire 2.0 beta, which incorporates the ability to view descriptions of audio (ie podcast) feeds (in cases where podcasters have the decency to include them!) before downloading.
Of course the new beta will also download automatically and send to iTunes (as iPodderX does) if you tell it. Another nice feature is its ability to add a genre tag--say, "Podcast"--automatically to the feed, which is useful if you use Smart Playlists to organise your feeds.
