Playing Podcasts

There are 2 ways to play your downloaded podcasts: using BeyondPod's integrated player or using an external player of your choice. What player is used can be selected in the settings screen (Menu > Tools > Settings).  Please note that BeyondPod can track the playback progress of the podcast only if you use the integrated player.

 Selecting a podcast in the Podcast View will start plying it in the Podcast Player. The Podcast player maintains a mini playlist of all podcasts for the selected feed. You can control what happens when a podcast finishes playing (nothing, play next, delete and play next) using the Settings Dialog (Menu > Tools > Settings from the Feeds View).

To navigate across the playlist, you can use commands for skipping to the next or previous track, or skip forth and back a predetermined amount of time within the current track. You can configurable 2 different (commercial) skip intervals using the Settings Dialog - one for long jumps and one for short. There is also a convenient command that lets you skip directly to the end of the podcast form any point in the podcast.

You can assign many of the BeyondPod playback commands to shortcut keys using Assign Buttons dialog  (Menu > Buttons from the Player View)
