Feature wish list
- I should be able to tell it “resume playing this podcast” and it will resume playing the next unlistened-to episode in that podcast (or use whatever different rules I’ve set up for determining the next episode to play — perhaps the most recent episode).
- Currently with my iPod, I have to enter into the podcast’s list of episodes, scroll through a long list of episodes, try to recognize which episodes I’ve seen, manually determine the last one I’ve listened to, and manually tell it to start playing the episode after that. It doesn’t even tell me whether / when the last time I’ve listened to an episode is (even though it has that information available and will show it to me in iTunes). This is a lot of unwanted work to be doing when driving a car. I just want it simple — a single click — and for it to use its intelligence (and the configuration I’ve given it) — to intelligently “do the right thing”.
- The ability to enter notes/comments about a podcast episode/song that you’ve just listened to
- The ability to treat your audio library as a relational database and add custom fields to it and enter data into those custom columns.
These devices should be fully open source

So if there’s a feature I want added, I can just add it myself. And distribute my new feature to anyone else who wants it.
Give me the freedom to do that. Don’t give me a worthless, proprietary operating system like the one on iPods.
Is it already possible to put Linux on my iPod?
