Odeo Beta
Just tried the Odeo beta tonight. Here's my take:
1) I couldn't get it to work. Seems like the Syncr couldn't connect. Server issues perhaps? I checked the firewall. Not a good first impression, but heck - it's a beta.
2) The program description says it's based "upon iPodder". I also saw a lot of Python stuff in the install.
3) Interface is simple. Layout is pleasing.
4) User-generated tags are interesting, but it appears that there is no editorial control. I was able to add a nonsensical tag to one Podcast.
5) Playing individual shows from the Browser has no controls. No way to fast forward.
6) Rating system is weak.
Overall, our Replay Media Guide is still better in my opinion. But they do have some nice features.
