Podcast Player

Podcast Player is a software program developed in Adobe AIR that provides users with a simple means of accessing your favorite podcasts and playing them.

Seamless setup and easy-to-handle environment

The installation process is a piece of cake, as it does not take very long and it does not offer to download any kind of third-party product. After you complete it, you come by a minimal and clear-cut UI, as it is comprised of a few buttons, a pane in which to view available podcasts and another one for episodes.
Although no Help contents are supported, Podcast Player is accessible to all user categories, including people with little or no previous experience with computers.

Playback controls and other options

This utility enables you to listen to your favorite podcasts by automatically detecting them from your hard drive and displaying them in the main window. In addition to that, you should know that playback controls are incorporated, which enable you to play, pause, resume and stop an item.
A progress bar lets you approximate how much time is left from the podcast, while it is also possible to enable an auto-play mode, so that you do not have to manually change the episodes. No other notable options are supported.

Conclusion and performance

The amount of resources required is low under all circumstances, meaning that the system’s performance is not going to be affected, the response time is good and the interface is accessible to all user categories.
Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say Podcast Player is a small, yet pretty handy piece of software and a good decision for people who like podcasts on a regular basis.
