Podcasts. Please? Help me move completely off of iTunes!

Podcast support in the client would be amazing. I miss so much by focusing on Spotify and not iTunes, that I miss listening to all of my podcasts. Please help 🙂

Updated: 2015-09-16

Hey everyone. When we launched our new Now page we also introduced a growing library of videos and podcasts. Now marking this idea as 'Implemented'.

could also try to get those podcasters to make their content available in Spotify Format like Armin Van Buuren did with his ASOT podcast

I want that too. Doing everything I can to move off iTunes.

This is the last thing I need to walk away from iTunes and my iPod entirely. Since you haven't developed yet, what would be ideal is being able to set up sync preferences so that podcasts I've listened to (at least 70%) automatically delete from my phone so they don't fill up a ton of space and the newest podcasts automatically sync over.

I'm new to spotify and already signed up for premium expecting podcasts to be a "no biggie" - this can't be this hard...

Come on spotify - make it happen!

I think podcasts could be a new revenue stream for Spotify. Using your interface as it is for all of the many different sources of audio - NPR, BBC, audiobooks, podcasts, other radio - both live and recorded - would be a boon to the industry. Many people are trying to do something - see #Sticher, #Swell, #Agogo, #Tunein, and others, but none get it right and your interface would be great because it would allow the ability to make playlists, send playlists, etc.

 

I don't think much of the RSS features people mention here are what you should get into. In theory you'd be paying royalties to them so they would need to go through whatever channels are nescessary to get them on Spotify.

 

I think many folks - particularly @NPR types - would pay an additional fee for this feature. Another $10 a month would not seem out of the question if you could categorize things and give the world of audio your interface.

 

How this happens someday. Great work so far.

This is the #1 missing feature. I hate the lack for this and the need to search for Armin van Buuren's ASOT show each week. Easy technology to add, or is it patented?

Yes yes yes

Add RSS integration please! 🙂
