Is it still Podcasting when Spotify doesn't even have the functionality to automatically download new episodes to your device? Wasn't this, like, the whole point of Podcasts in the first place? Subscribe, and as long as you sync (== plug in) your iPod before you leave the house, it'll have all of the new podcasts you want to listen to? I mean, yeah, I get it, phones have data plans, but still. I LOVE Spotify, I'm a family plan subscriber, etc etc. But I'm not interested in my rates going up to pay for access to content I don't care about and could get for free if I did. I tried to switch over to Spotify as a podcast app when Sonos ditched the ability to stream from your phone (the AirPlay2 cutover), but Spotify's podcast functionality is virtually nonexistent. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Podcasts-Automatically-save-offline-new-Podcasts-and-remove/idi-p/1356299 https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Podcasts-Automat...
