The new KPod..

The Good Stuff:
× Making the full shows available and cutting them up into smaller segments.
× The highlights (descriptions) being listed underneath each hour of show.

The Bad Stuff:
× We can't pause, rewind, or fast forward while listening through the browser.
× We can't automatically jump to the highlights of the show.
× We can't access older shows without manually typing in URLs.
× We have to listen to commercials, breaks, and local stuff like weather and news.
× There are still errors occurring with Firefox and Safari. There's no Mac compatibility? Who did usability testing?
× The player is glitchy and occasionally stops in the middle of a clip.
× Listeners had no input on the change and are not receiving any feedback with regard to their complaints.

Since i'm either working or at school during the live show, I primarily listen through the KPod. Although putting up the full episodes was a good idea, I don't think the switch was thought through. You could have spent a little more time on it and released something great. I hope the show doesn't lose listeners as a result of the change, but it's bound to happen if they're ignored.

For the record, I think your thread looks fabulous and gets my vote for the #1 "Kpod Sucks" discussion on the board!; ▶ Reply to This
