Hi Tom, was just wondering if podfinder played for you? It’s the only problem I have encountered, other than that it’s great.
No Liam – no joy here either!
Must be 1,000’s of people trying to access it I guess,
Otherwise, as you say, it is great,
Cheers,
Tom
Check out chapter tool. Mac and command line only at the moment, but it allows you to add chapters to podcasts created as MPEG4 audio files. Any graphics you add will even display at the specified time indexes on the screen of a colour iPod.

Worst Apple UI ever. The text “PodCast Directory” does nothing when you pass over it, and looks like text rather than a link or button. When you finally figure out that you should just take a chance and click on it, you are brought to some sort of MTV generation site filled with large pictures and small text, with a very short list of titles on one side of links to podcasts and no explanation whatsoever of what any of them are about.
Is this a beta? Where was the usability warning? I haven’t been so confused by a piece of software since I actually installed iTunes on Windows.
Gotta agree with you Lee – the interface is awful – strange for Apple – one can presume that they are going to release a newer, version with a better UI shortly and that this was rushed out to capture market.
