Has anyone got this? Or tried it out?
I've been trying it for the last couple of days and it's opened my eyes to the world of PodCasts! I've subscribed to 26 feeds, some of which are simply RSS, and some of which are "proper" PodCasts. It's awesome. Automatically downloading PodCasts over my WiFi connection, and then letting me play them back using the Smart Playlist option is amazing. Anyone got any hints or tips, or any recommended PodCasts?

Anything from the Twit network and "Are We Alone", the Seti podcast, are great.
I've been using BeyondPod on Windows Mobile and have purchased it on Android.
Are you using the scheduled updates ? Mine is set to check and download updates at 5am every day, so I have fresh podcasts ready for me when I get up.
For all the fuss about the new Doggcatcher app and it being a features app in the market, I find BeyondPod a much better app.
Thanks!
I'm signed up to The Week in Tech and The Week in Google.
I was considering looknig at Doggcatcher, but it seems a bit redundant really as BeyondPod seems to do everything I want it to
Hi Im new at android but beyondpod is a must have.
Is Beyondcheduler a seperate app?
How do I set it to download at 5am? The instructions here don't match my menu's -
http://www.allshadow.com/2008/08/04/beyondpod-goes-above/
for the love of gawd, anyone, suggest a podcatcher that works!!!
glisten is trash, so is mediafly, should i pay for dogcatcher?
any other options? as someone said somewhere "why can't anyone get podcasts right on android?!"
if you find one, let me know. Listen is the best I've found right now but it's still pretty lousy. Mediafly used to be absolutely flawless, but that's been months and now it's just terrible. I've resorted to downloading them in Mediafly and then playing them in in a different program.
I havent found a good one either, the one I listen to you have to login, and it seems none support that.
It depends on what you want and how you want it to work. Some people prefer streaming. Others want it cached for listening later on. Some want to enter their favorite podcasts and be done with it. Others want a good database of podcasts with search facility.
I only listen to podcasts on my 3.5hr commute to work each Sunday afternoon, as I work out of state for most of the week. I listen to the same podcasts every week. For me, "Carcast" is ideal. It doesn't search for podcasts, only downloading what you set it up with. It also allows me to manually download my podcasts every Sunday morning for listening on the road.
I like the search that "listen" uses, but don't care for its integration with google reader. I like my newsfeeds to be separate from podcasts because I treat both differently.
If you just want streaming and a neat interface, try "Stitcher." It doesn't do what I want since it's streaming-only, but it looks good.
So yeah, it depends on how you listen to podcasts. I haven't found a single podcast client that could please everybody yet.
that's swell, i don't care about searching either and no way i'm giving them access to my google account, i know my podcasts and i just want a timely download and steady streaming with downloading along (like glisten)
i want it to remember where i stopped last time i listened and be able to control what stays in the list and what doesn't (unlike mediafly)
that's it!
oh and proper playback in the background, please

CarCast sounds like it would work for you, though its interface isn't as great as the others.

The really sad thing about Mediafly is that it USED to be sheer perfection. I could listen to a podcast, either downloaded or streamed, it would pick right back up right where I left off every single time no problem and it would keep my downloaded podcasts as long as I needed them. Then suddenly one day they changed something and it won't remember its spot and it deletes podcasts that I haven't even listened to even though I've told it to keep them all until I manually delete them. I think I'm going to dig around in some of my old APKs and see if I can find one of the first versions of it...
My advice is to just use a desktop podcatcher that will sync. Songbird is a good one, and Double Twist now does it. That way it'll look like a regular music file and you can just use any old music player app on the phone.
dPod
Use to go for beyond, was great, paid for, and now ... it sucks. Not capable to synchronize properly with reader anymore.
Just found a new option that look good, work well, is not perfect but free. dPod.
Give it a go, it's not bad at all

DoggCatcher supports authentication and is generally the best one out there in my opinion. I've used it since pretty much day one and it just keeps getting better and better. The dev is also very responsive and implements everything you ask as long as it's reasonable.
wanted to let you guys know that after last two back-to-back updates mediafly has been working quite good, i.e. it doesnt die when you switch to another app, episodes are pushed almost as soon as they become available and it even sometimes (rarely) remembers where your playback stopped last time, oh and i kinda dig their logo ...
Mediafly was updated today...looks like they might have fixed the resume problems...fingers crossed.
Release date: Friday, 2 April 2010
* Improved error handling on playback, including adding 'ding' messages.
* Resume playback now works
* Pausing with wired/bluetooth controls updates UI
* Streaming/playing video no longer creates entry in Download Manager
* Fewer Activity Not Responding messages on loading channels
I apologize for digging up this old(ish) thread, but I recently spent several days trying out as many different podcast apps as I could and wanted to share my findings. As background, probably 95% of my audio listening is to podcasts in my car, and maybe an occasional CD or Pandora stream. I have around a dozen that I listen to every week and a couple of these are daily shows. I have tried to use Mediafly in the past, since I paid for it, but found it increasingly more aggravating, even after the most recent update.
So here's my findings:
Useless: MyPod, Mediafly, Listen and Carcast
Potential: PodKast, BeyondPod and ACast
and the winner by a huge margin: DoggCatcher
It pretty much does everything I need. I knew after just using it for a day that I was not going to get a refund for it, even though it's most expensive app I've bought to date. The interface is a bit "busy" but once you get the hang of it, it really does make listening to multiple feeds very simple and worry-free. The only real downsides that I've found are that I don't think it streams over 3G (although it will over wifi), but that's not a huge deal, since it autosyncs without any kind of interaction on my part just fine and it's not cheap, but the dev seems to keep of top of things.
Ive tried just about all of the apps and I prefer beyondpod.
hi can someone send me the us version of podkast ?
i can't find it here in switzerland on the market.

guys, i'm back to glisten. it works almost flawlesly. couple hickups with app shutting down on loss of network but besides that all is good. and it's google, you know you can't say no.
I have DoggCatcher and I love it. It works better than anything I've tried and I never had any problems with any of my feeds not downloading. 5 Stars.
Can anyone get the "Play me some songs from [band name]/[album title]" to successfully start playing music through the Play Music app using Google Now/Touchless Control?
The best I can do is get it to return a search for the band/album in Play Music, despite that face that Google Now responds with "Playing Request", and acknowledges the correct band/album name I've said...
aside from this, if I tell Google Now to play, for example, "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance, it will acknowledge that I've said that specific song, but it will search Play Music for "Teenagers" and play the first hit, which is a song called "Teenagers" by Department of Eagles.
This is especially infuriating because in the new ads that Motorola just put out, they launch Play Music using Touchless Control and it works great! (can't post a link here since I'm new, but just youtube "lazy phone - touchless control")
any one else experiencing this issue?
I'm on a Moto X (duh) running the latest version of the Google Search app (2.7.9.789824) and Play Music (5.2.1204L.814012) .. I have "Play Music" checked in the Phone Search settings, but having it unchecked seems to return the same result.
thanks in advance for the help!

I've been talking to someone on G+ who is running 4.3 on his Nexus 7 and this functionality works fine. (he's also on All Access, but I don't think that should affect this behavior)
maybe it's a bug in 4.2.2?

It does auto play, however, it isn't a track off the actual album. It does seem to work just fine when you only specify a band.

Only specifying the band works for me up to the point where I still have to press the "play" button on Play Music. I mean, thanks Google Now, you opened the thing for me, and have it ready to run. But didn't I already ask to play it? I mean... that's what I thought when I said "play some Aerosmith" (btw, Gnow does have a hard time understanding "Aerosmith" )
Also not working for me
Using the Moto X on Rogers, and I'm having the same problem, but I'm one step further back.
The voice commands/google now won't bring up a "play music" card at all. I've tried "play ___", "listen to ____", etc. and all I get is a google search result with youtube links or music play store links to buy the music. It recognizes what I'm saying but there doesn't seem to be the functionality to play the music using voice commands as advertised. I've tried putting hard copies of the music in the "music" folder and that doesn't change anything. I've been through google now settings and moto voice commands settings but can't find anything to help.
Any suggestions? Otherwise everything works perfectly.
I have a big problem using this music playing functionality...
But.. My main problems are actually my own and not how the phone performs.
First of all, I can never think of an actual name of any song or sometimes even artist that I want to listen to. My brain just does not translate desires into words very well, but works fine when scanning through a list of names. But I think I can get over this and have it be of slightly more use.
What really limits my use of this function is the actual music I listen to.
I listen to a lot of power metal, punk rock, and other more obscure music.
I have been completely unable to get Google Now to recognize band names such as:
-Ayreon
-Kamelot
-Turisas
-Benuts
-Blackguard
-The Blaggards
-Cruachan
-Deathmole
-Dethklok
-Doomsword
-Eluveitie
-Falkenbach
-Forefather (GN always hears this as "for father")
-Heavatar
-Naio Ssaion
-Powerglove
-Power World
-Sirenia
-Skatalites
-Tyr
Surprisingly it recognized the bands Korpiklaani and Gojira.
That said, this is only a small segment of the music I have on my phone but it includes some that I listen to very often, and many of these artists are more readily in my mind.
I think it's extremely odd that I'll ask Google Now "What is Ghost Opera" and it'll come out and tell me that it is an album by Kamelot.
But, if I ask it to "Play Ghost Opera" it chooses to play a song with that title by Technomind, and I can't ask it to play the album or the song by Kamelot because Google Now always thinks I'm saying Camelot.
But, I do have a question for people that have gotten this to work... Does it ever actually queue up more than one song?
For instance I'll ask for it to "Play some songs from Voltaire", and it'll only queue up "When You're Evil" every time. It won't ever play another one of his songs even though this specific song is nowhere near the first one in any of his albums or playlist.
Can it play playlists if I create them or any of my defined "radio stations"?
I've had better luck saying "Stream (artist)" or "Stream (song) by (artist)"
No luck on queuing up more than one song, though. Saying "Stream (album) by (artist)" still just plays one track.
edit: saying "Stream (album) by (artist)" actually just takes me to the artist page, without playing the album. A shortcut, but not ideal. This is assuming that the title of the album is NOT also a title of a song. If that's the case, it just plays the song. Saying "Stream the album (album)" or "Stream the album (album) by (artist)" results in a google search.
It's hit and miss with me. Unfortunately it's a problem with Google Now. Google will need to fix it.

Khourya make sure in your "settings" for Google Now in "Phone Search" you have Google Music checked. Though it seems to have no affect for me, it may for you.
also try "play me some" or "stream" like some others in the thread were suggesting.
Dark, it's interesting you say it's an issue with Google Now. I think it's more an issue with Play Music. I've seen a lot of videos use Now to launch a random track when searching for an Artist, or play an Album, but it was all with the old (pre-white UI) Music app...
I find it hard to believe they know it's a bug when they're quite literally advertising the functionality we're all having trouble with in those new "Lazy Phone" ads...
In general I can get it to play music but it only actually started playing after I selected a few times that I actually want it to play music using Play Music instead of just searching for music to buy.
My bigger issue is actually getting Google Now to recognize me when I say band names that I know it can recognize.

I'm on rogers moto x as well. Same issues you are having. I even tried typing in "stream" or "play music" in Google now and the selected "phone" section and it couldn't find any results in my phone. Ridiculous.
Maybe because Google music isn't in Canada rogers?

I'm on a different device but same problem. It doesn't seem to work at all for me. I have phone search set to search my music player but google now will always perform a web search. If I scroll all the way to the bottom and select 'phone' as what to search under after I searched I see my song there, but the automation part seems to be broke.

Hey,
Looked around and didn't see anything on this so I'm posting.
I get this error whenever I try and use the 'Instant Mix' in the play music app. Honestly, I don't care about it but it seems to need to work right in order for me to use the 'Touchless control' to start playing music using my voice...which would be pretty cool!...if it worked.
I read on another site to add a payment method through google play but that didn't work.
any help would be appreciated! Thanks all!

Noticed this as well. My friends Nexus 5 seems to handle the "play this" command quite well. My moto x seems to look for a instant mix and play it.
Tried the "play this" and the same thing happens...well, what happens is that the app just closes and go backs to the home screen.
"Couldn't prepare instant mix. Please try again." <- A bug I've been trying to fix for a long time...
I too have been frustrated with this error, but it didn't start with my Moto X. I also had this problem with my previous phone, a Nexus S, yet there is a surprising lack of information on the error when googled.
For troubleshooting, here is my environment:
AT&T Moto X, official 4.4, rooted
Google play music up to date (as of 12/13/2013)
all music (about 6 gigs) is on the phone, none on google music cloud. All songs have good album, artist, genre, albut art, etc 'tags'
I tried rebooting and clearing data on google play music
I verified my location and signed up on google.com/music yesterday, added a few songs and sync'd, but that did not help
Sometimes my "Im feeling luck mix" works, sometimes it doesn't. My library -> songs -> shuffle always works fine
Does anyone get the error with their music stored on google's music cloud?

I have most of the music stored on google play music in the cloud and some locally on my phone. When attempting to create an instant mix, only cloud stored music seems to work. Locally stored files give an error. Also making and loading instant mixes seem to only work with an active internet connection, even if the cloud files are set to have offline access.
So no ideas?...=(...no one else having this problem?...or no one cares about using voice to play music? Maybe a good music player that supports voice? I found 'Clean Music' but not a very robust player.
Well you could try this if you have xposed installed. Its a module that let's you say "play music" and it will just start playing whatever was loaded in play music previously. Works for me.

Instant mix
Hi,
I've got the same problem on my nexus 5, and what I've found is this:
- When you try to start an instant mix when you've got an internet connection, it'll only play music stored online. (so it won't start if you've got nothing stored in the cloud)
- When you start an instant mix without internet access, it will work (but of course only the music stored on your device will play)
The voice commands only work when you've got an internet connection, so I'm guessing it won't start an instant mix with music stored on your device either? I haven't been able to try it with music stored online, cause I don't have a valid payment method for the service..
So I think it will work when you try the voice command for music stored online?
Can anyone verify that?
I just tried this as I do have a couple songs I've purchased through Google Play...but it didn't seem to work. I went to a song not on the device and selected "Start Instant Mix" and got the same error. I then turned on Airplane Mode, went to a song on the device and tried and same error. =(

Can't start instant mix
Hmm..
I've read somewhere that you need more than a few songs stored online to be able to start an instant mix, so maybe it's that..But I don't really think that's the problem though..that would be stupid
Does starting an "I'm feeling lucky mix work" with you? (online/offline?)
Can you start a specific song (stored online of course) with voice commands?
why o why do they install it on all nexus devices (and more?), when it doesn't even work properly?
Manually update Google play music
Although this thread has been inactive for a bit, the problem for me at least had not resolved itself. After months of ignoring it finally decided to look for a solution. So I'll post here if anyone else still has issues.
The solution is simple but annoying. Had to manually update the player. This should have happened automatically, through play store app but for some reason my Moto X was supposedly up to date on some version of 5.5 when a simple googling session says that play music had been past 5.6 for a while. So anyway I downloaded the latest copy i could find (5.6.1623P.1416251), it installed fine, and now the problem seems to have gone away even with mobile data enabled, which is required anyway for touchless control.
I had nothing online and was getting this error. There's a 'downloaded only' option in the settings that I checked and that brought instant mix back to life for me, although now called shuffle, so would seem to be an online problem I think
I had same problem,
What you need to do is to go on play store > apps > my apps > all > google play music > update
v5.5.1623P adds ability to search public playlists
now u can say "ok google now play some music" and see what will happen
Use the cloud

All you have to do is delete all your songs from your phone... use the internet from a computer... and upload your entire catalog to the cloud using the Google Play Music website/app. You can put up to 20,000 songs there for free. (That's a lot of albums!!) Everything about the app is better after you do this. You can use Chromecast, all album art shows up, etc.
I just want to point out how stupid it is that this is what you have to do to make this product work. Why can't we just put our our music on an SD card and get the same results? Maybe in a few years after they update the app 5,000 more times.

I read on another site to add a payment method through google play but that didn't work.
any help would be appreciated! Thanks all!

I faced the same problem, and what I did was I manually updated the Google Play Music app.
In the Google Play Store>My Apps>All , search the Google Play Music and I found out that it had an update but strangely the notifications never shown automatically. So I updated the app and now I can fire up music from my moto 360.
ONE SOLUTION
I haven't seen this solution posted anywhere, so here is what fixed it for me:
Play Music App -> Menu -> toggle Downloaded only
After toggling it started creating instant mixes.
If you are playing local music only, just switch the switch in the app, which says "Downloaded only" and instant mix will work !
Hi all,
We have 2 GH's in our house, one being in my daughter's bedroom. If I give the "ok Google broadcast" command followed with a message, the message will go to both GH's. This is not always good so I tried to unlink the daughter's GH but it still relays my messages (when using my Pixel phone).
Is it possible to only broadcast to one?
Thanks.
Only had mine a couple days but don't you simply name the google homes in the google home app? Then if you have multiple, you specify which one to play it on by saying it's name? Same theory applies to multiple chromecasts. Not sure if you can send video to multiple chromecasts though.
I thought you could Broadcast to single, or multiple Home devices, in the same way you can play music?
e.g.
"broadcast testing testing on lounge speaker" for a single device
"broadcast testing testing on kitchen speaker" for a single device
"broadcast testing testing on downstairs speakers" for the Group you've setup in Google Home.
I know when I broadcast from a home mini, it automatically broadcasts on the other other, but I thought when you broadcast from your phone you could select as above.
"play metallica on lounge speaker" for a single device
"play metallica on kitchen speaker" for a single device
"play metallica on downstairs speakers" for the Group you've setup in Google Home.
I'm loving the synchronised music playing across the house
