RSS Player: Podcaster Reborn and ACCEPTED Into The App Store – UPDATED

January 26, 2009 by in Random with 19 Comments

Remember all the drama over Apple’s rejection of Podcaster? Instead of getting frustrated Alex, the developer of Podcaster, decided if he couldn’t beat the system (by distributing his application via AdHoc distribution) he would join it.

Back to the drawing board Alex has created RSS Player, which IS essentially Podcaster – minus the directory.

Specifically designed to play audio files attached to rss feeds.

Start by entering an rss feed url or opml url into the import screen, then the program crawls the feed and displays the items it finds in an easy to read table. If the program finds an audio file attached to the feed, it will automatically download the most current one. This makes it easy for iPod Touch owners to listen when they are offline.

This is a really great app with high standard. We will keep improving it and adding features in future releases. If you purchase this app, we are sure you will love it.

There are no download restrictions on podcast sizes over 3G (such as Apple’s 10MB limit via Mobile iTunes) and for $1.99 I think its a great bargain for Podcast enthusiasts.

UPDATE: It pays to read this site multiple times a day. Alex has been kind enough to give me a key to hand out for a free copy of RSS Player. Just enter the code in the “Redeem” section of iTunes. ET7P9NH6TL3Y Enjoy!

    Woo hoo, I just saved a ton of cash on my car insurance. Or maybe it was $2 on iTunes. Thanks Dan, Alex.

    That code says it’s already been used and it can only be used once.

    Does it play video podcasts at all?

  • Eric

    Darn. Too late and the code supposedly doesn’t work in Canada, only the US. Hopefully a few more get posted.

    Do you pretty much have to be at a computer staring at the url you are entering for each feed you want to add, or am I missing the easy button?

  • john

    I got the same result as Matt…’the code has already been used and can only be used once…’

    Too bad the Redeem code doesn’t work anymore.
    Probably a good idea to remove that from the post.
