What's the best (non iTunes) way to download podcasts and listen in Windows Media Player 11?

Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Microsoft's own Zune software has very good podcast integration. It has support for both, audio and video, podcasts. It is very easy to subscribe to a podcast, you simply click the "subscribe" button next to each podcast in the zune marketplace or you can enter the rss link if the podcast you wish to subscribe to is not offered in Zune's marketplace.

All podcasts are saved in one folder dedicated for all Zune downloads. You can use Media Player 11 to open these files - You mentioned in your question that you would like to use Media Player 11 to listen to your podcasts.

By the way, you don't need to have a Zune player to use the Zune software.

Download the Zune software from:

I have heard the Zune software is very good but does it have any WMP integration (as the question applies that)?

I have used Juice in lieu of iTunes at various points such as when my MacBook died. Juice has some idiosyncracies to it but is otherwise quite powerful. If you are willing to tinker with it, it could be usable.

Armangil's Podcatcher is possibly the easiest way to go on Windows but I haven't played with it yet. Your mileage may vary.

As no-one's answering, I'll tell you what little I know.

Apart from iTunes, the most popular are Juice and Doppler.

http://www.dopplerradio.net/

However I can't tell you which is best because I use iTunes!
