In the past, my preferred flow for listening to my podcasts was this:
Download episodes via Podkicker
Export all downloads
Run SDRescan to update the media map for MTP
Connect the phone to my work computer via USB to play the downloaded files
Since my phone got upgraded to Jelly Bean, step 3 takes far too much time (15-20 minutes!). I finally upgraded to Podkicker Pro, hoping that "ICS and Jelly Bean support" meant that exported files would be available via MTP without having to do a full rescan. Unfortunately, I found instead that there was no more Export at all.
I tried changing Podkicker's storage directory to a directory under Podcasts/, but I still have to do a Rescan before I can copy them to my computer. This is workable, but I miss getting the files organized like Podcasts/Podcast_name/episode_xx.mp3.
I also gave the System Download option a try, but the Download app doesn't seem to put the file anywhere accessible by the file system. At least, ES File Explorer's search couldn't find it.
In short, please add an Export option to Pro like the one that existed in Podkicker OG. And after the files are exported, add them to the media map for immediate availability. I think MediaScannerConnection.scanFile will do the trick: http://developer.android.com/reference/ … ction.html
