Listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed
Authored by: coolbeans on Apr 26, '06 04:05:13PM

I just realized that PC users can have an even better experience listening to podcasts than Mac users. If you use podcasts.yahoo.com to listen to podcasts, they even have a feature on the web UI where you can click to speed podcasts up to 2.0x. Plus, it's good to have all those audio files stored away on someone else's computer so you don't have to burden your own hard drive (of course, you wouldn't be able to listen offline but you can click "download" episode if you want).

Of course, since yahoo podcasts use a windows media plugin for streaming, you can't access them on a Mac unless you click a few times---additionally, the speed feature is not accessible either.

Get a clue, Apple! You seem to be good at leading innovation but amount to dogsh*t when it comes to listening to user feedback.
