Give Democracy (soon to be Miro) another chance

The Democracy Player (soon to be renamed Miro) was something I tried about a year or so ago. The player is a podcatcher like the "Podcasts" section in iTunes and at the time I was, well, underwhelmed with its buggy functionality.

Fast forward to today. Version 0.9.6 has a lot to offer. Besides just being an adept little podcast client and besides the interface being much improved, it has two very nice features that make it worth your time, one of which kicks iTunes in the butt. Feature one, which iTunes also has, is the ability to resume from where you left off after you quit in the middle of a video or audio podcast. Nice. But something that I have been missing since iPodder for Linux went the way of the dodo is (Feature 2) the ability to auto download torrent files. This is a godsend for the bandwidth strapped video podcaster producer, and will become more necessary when video podcast producers decide to go hi-def.

So, give Democracy a chance. And thank you Democracy team.
