Title: MC24 - Where has the podcast entry in the left menu gone ?
Post by: ThierryA on April 25, 2018, 11:24:38 am

Hello,

I installed MC24 a few days ago upgrading my existing MC23, and I just noticed that I do not have "Podcasts" in the left menu any more...
Any ideas on how to get it back ?

Thanks

Podcasts are in the new Streaming section.

Ok, found them ! thanks !

BTW, isn't it a really stupid idea ?
Podcasts are exactly the opposite of streaming... ?

Anyway it works for me !
Thanks again !

I wouldn't be so blunt, but I also don't see the logic of putting podcasts under Streaming -- as I use JRiver to download and manage them locally, not stream them. No biggie, of course.

A podcast is a stream that can also be downloaded.  It's part stream, part file.

It was my dumb idea, by the way.

Dont feel bad Jim  ;) I think your logic is sound. I use podcasts quite a lot and I like all these external services being collected together.

Hi,

Jim : Please, accept my apologies: I do realize that my choice of word could have been... better  ::)
I guess that I'm becoming resistant to change...

Anyway, I gladly pay for upgrades as soon as they are offered, and will continue to do so.
MC is running around the competition in circles  ;D ;D ;D

And again thanks for the help !

I'm glad that it was all grouped under the one heading rather than keeping it as a separate category, but I do still think that "streaming" was the wrong name for it. We've already had that discussion though.
