No, sadly they don't. They seem to think everyone listening to their podcasts has an iPod and iTunes >:(
It goes as far as making it almost mandatory to use iTunes to even subscribe to the podcasts...

Possibly. I have some ideas on how it could be fixed, at the expense of some seek accuracy on long files (a 1 hour file can have about 120.000 seek points, which is a little excessive, IMHO). Not sure if it will work though, and getting it right could be a little tricky... :)
--- Quote ---Now there is something else I noticed, about replay gain : the value is taken into account (there is a distinct volume jump when I enable/disable replay gain), but in the ID3 info screen, the value shown under "track gain" is the track title ;D I haven't tried album gain...

Interesting bug. I did know that piece of code hadn't been tested, but I thought it should work. It almost did... Fix committed.
--- Quote ---Finally, would you have any idea on how to read the bookmark time tags stored in these M4B files ? It would be a very nice feature to add and maybe I'd try doing so.

Nope, I don't know anything about those parts. I haven't tried to find out what kind of data it is, or how it can be used.

Then I would email them, asking for an alternative, and if they would not provide one, I'd seriously consider unsubscribing.
There are tens of thousands of podcasts out there. I bet there are dozens that do what this show does, and don't lock you into iTunes.
NicolasP:
Lear, thanks for your last two commits, now it's much easier to listen to podcasts :)
Yotto, I've started a discussion on the forum related to this podcast about providing an alternative in the form of an MP3 version, but I'm not very optimistic about the chances of getting it. The thing is this podcast is simply the most important when it comes to french electronic music so I don't really want to consider the option of unsubscribing ;)
Thankfully, the compatibility is now almost perfect, so it's not really a problem anymore, but I'll still try to push to get an MP3 version :)
