i did a search of the forum and didn't see this issue. here's how to reproduce it: set "auto add to playlist" to yes. download a few podcasts from different subscriptions. Delete one of the subscriptions. what i'm seeing is that between every file now in the auto playlist, i get an error saying it's looking for a podcast from the deleted subscription. so i think the bug is - when a subscription is deleted, remove those podcasts from the auto-playlist.

1.6.0 (Jan 11, 2009)

Beginning of new look, what do you think? (I realize that the podcast thumbnails don't resize well, I have to work on that)
Lots of updates to the browser, more podcasts and images
When listening to a podcast and an email comes in and the audio pauses, sometimes - not always - when I press play the progress bar will reset back to 0 and the audio will not play. The only way to play any audio again is to exit the app, and then I have to skip forward to where I was when it stopped.
Still have issue with it not resuming after email notifications
Initital state when loaded should be user initiated stop, not waiting for resume
Media files display in media player when not supposed to (to correct old issues with this you may need to toggle the settings screen setting, save, then re-set it to what you want it to be and save it again)
Prevent/warn about 'system' folder use
I am listening to several things in the playlist and have the volume set to where I want it when the next item starts it goes back to the preset audio level. (via email)

On my Storm, I have two of my three podcasts set to auto-download "0" episodes, but whenever I start up Podtrapper, it starts downloading episodes from these podcasts forum post
PodTrapper will now display a proper error message on most playback issues describing the cause
Update alert only triggers on versions numerically greater (for those using a beta, they may have noticed that the check only checked for a different version, not necessarily greater)
Added advanced settings for disabling individual download mechanisms for those with providers that report success when it's not really success (WAP and AT&T was the case we noticed)
Connecting to desktop downloader doesn't force an update check

in File Playback, I have an mp3 audiobook that I half listened to in the BB media player so forwarded it to about "70% listened" in Podtrapper and hit play, it's playing from the beginning even though shows I'm at the 70% mark? forum post
