The world of podcasting is growing disproportionately among other things because many users find virtues in podcasts that other multimedia elements such as Radio do not currently have.
In Ubuntu we can listen to podcasts and music under the same program, a good example of this is the Rhythmbox player, a very complete player that can be connect with iTunes and offer us the best of Apple without having these expensive products in our hands.
The process is simple and you only need to have the latest versions of Ubuntu or this player, something that will not be difficult to achieve. Well, the first thing we have to do is open the program, once open we will see that Rhythmbox has four spaces: a left side space, another upper space where the menus are located and two spaces to our right that show the playlists and the songs that we are playing.
Well, we have to go to the left side space where The Sound Library will appear. There we select the option «Podcasts» and the following screen will appear:
On this screen, we go to the «Add» button and a small submenu with a search engine will appear. In this search engine we will have the option to search for podcasts in iTunes, we can do it either through the search engine or by inserting the url of the podcast, url that we will find on the iTunes website. Both methods work and are just as fast. After seeing the podcasts or channels that we want, we double click on them and the download will appear for playback.
This is really useful as well we can synchronize our mobile with Ubuntu and make iTunes podcasts also be on our non-Apple mobile, something interesting but surely for the mobile you already know other methods or alternatives. In any case, it is a quick option to listen to podcasts in our Ubuntu Do not you think?
