Previously, when a user clicked a link leading to a podcast, it brought you to an empty white web page. Then, iTunes was opened – and if not installed you got a offer to download the free ware. The user did not know what is to be expected.

The new change is, that you will now see a tiny preview with the same information that is presented only in iTunes, before. The behavior of starting iTunes or the download offer is still there. Click the picture on the right to see an example with my podcast.

You also can view video and pre-listen audio!

Sometimes my fingers are too fast and something is trashed, especially podcast episodes. If you are wacking the same as me, then I am sure this or the other time you want it being undone.

Of course there is a simple and quick way:

Just select any episode or the podcast itself, then hit on the bottom left the unsubscribe button. Then it turns to subscribe, and press it again. Then iTunes will reload the feed and you can download the lost childen, again.

Delete Podcast Episode

When I am on the way I mostly consume my favourite podcasts instead of listening to music. When beeing back on my Mac I see which episodes are played in iTunes and then I do mark and delete them. But when I have listened to different podcasts I really hate it to search through my quite long directory and delete them manually one by one.

Today I have detected, that I can delete episodes directly on the iPhone which saves me some time and unconvinient title seeking.

When beeing in the episode list, slide the “unwanted” episode from left to right. The red delete button known from other built in applications will fade in. You can either click it to delete or slide again this entry to remove the button.
