CatchUp Description

Listening or watching to podcasts online can be a hindering activity in some cases. A good practice is to download the file locally so that you can get up to date with it at any time. CatchUp is a simple podcast client that can keep track of the new episode releases and make available the brief description provided by the author so that you know exactly what it is about and if it is worth spending the time with it. The application does not need to be installed because it deploys as soon as its executable file is double-clicked.Configuration optionsAt first launch it prompts you to make some configuration settings, which define where the downloaded files are stored as well as the path for the MP3Gain application; this utility is designed for automatic volume adjustment. There is also the possibility to provide a storage path for an MP3 device connected to the computer. This allows synchronization with the device after downloading the files. Simple looksLooks are far from being impressive, but users should focus more on the features and the functionality they provide rather than the aesthetics of the interface. You can import the podcast feeds and navigate from one to another easily. Upon selecting one of them all the episodes are shown, allowing you to view the details and download the files to the specified location. Episode description and downloadWhen downloading an episode there is some information available, such as the progress of the job, release date and status of the file. Additional files can be sent to download queue so that when one download completes another one begins. ConclusionCatchUp is a basic podcast receiver with simple capabilities. There are very few options available that allow viewing the episodes and a brief description of them as well as the possibility to download them.
