Podcast Playlist

It appears that Apple has decided that podcasts are only to be listened to in the Podcast app. The old trick of deleting the Podcast app and setting up playlists to play them in the Music app does not work any longer on you iPhone.

I'll be happy if someone shows me how I'm wrong.

I think I can show myself how I was wrong.

I saw a mention somewhere of using My Stations in the Podcast app (It's using down at the bottom of the screen.) to play playlists.

It works! Playlists show up there.

The podcasts don't drop off of the playlist until you delete the played podcasts and the device is synched again, but you can tell which have and haven't been played.

Hope that helps.

There may be a better solution to creating a playlist of podcasts. I like to have a playlist of podcasts on my iPhone to listen to in the car, and update the whole playlist each week, and I like to have it remember where I left off each time I get in the car. The app Instant Bookmark Player does a nice job of this. Within the app, simply choose the podcasts to include in your list: use the "+" menu to create a playlist, then on the bottom choose "more", then choose your podcasts.

I have this same problem, and now podcasts seem to just disappear or rearrange themselves in my playlists. When I delete a podcast from a playlist, it now is deleted from my computer completely. I want to delete it from the playlist but keep it for future listening. I want to decide myself what to listen to when and what to keep or what to delete. I hate that Apple now decides for me.
