RadioSEGA Chaptered Podcasts now available on Android!
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 1:30 am
Since the beginning of RadioSEGA Live!, we've brought our podcasts to you in our RadioSEGA enhanced AAC format, which include artwork and chapter markers built right into the file. Problem is that in the past, this has only been supported on Apple software and devices (i.e. iTunes, iPod, iPhone etc). But not any more!
If you've got an Android phone or tablet, be jealous no more of your Apple owning friends! You can also take advantage of our chaptered podcasts by downloading the Akimbo Audiobook Player application from the Android Market. There is a free version for you to try - https://market.android.com/details?id=c ... .abp.trial, but if you like the app, support the developers and unlock the full version for US$2.49 (~£1.58) - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.akimbo.abp
Now, I'll be honest - the user interface isn't the best. But it works and is, as far as we're aware, the only way to enjoy chaptered podcasts on your Android device.
We're thrilled to be able to offer our enhanced podcast experience to even more device owners and we hope you Android owners enjoy our chaptered podcasts!
Thanks to foreversonic for bringing this application to my attention!
Note - we are aware that iPad owners running iOS5 can no longer take advantage of chapter markings in our files. It seems that Apple removed this functionality from iOS5, meaning this change is unfortunately outside of our control. iPhone and iPod touch owners running iOS5 are unaffected, as are iPad owners running a firmware previous to iOS5.
