Earbud

@alexg473 You definitely don't need to subscribe to any podcast you're not interested in. I'm sorry you thought you were forced to do that. I'm assuming you're referring to the suggested podcasts shown to you after registering? Those are just suggestions. You can also search for any podcast you want or skip that step entirely and subscribe later. I hope you'll give it another chance!

@orengoldfinger How do I add a podcast without subscribing? I still cannot figure it out.

@alexg473 I'm not clear what you mean by "adding a podcast". How is that different from subscribing?

@orengoldfinger Take a look at Overcast. I can have a podcast show up on my list of favorites, so I can quickly browse the episodes, but episodes will not auto-download unless I specify that they should.

@alexg473 Ah you can do the same in Earbud, we just still consider it a subscription! When you subscribe, just set "download limit" to "0 episodes" and you're all set!
