Version: Nimiq 1.31
"It works, but it that's about it"
Pros: Simple menus and layout, download to specified directory, periodic updates
Cons: Didn't catch every podcast, canceling downloads does nothing, doesn't check for player connection before downloading, updates "Last Download" time even if downloads fail
Summary: My feelings can pretty much be summed up with the pros and cons, but I'll tell you specifically why I chose to uninstall this program.
My MP3 player connects like a flash drive, I can just drag and drop files if I want to. I setup Nimiq to download podcasts directly to my player. It works fine if you do things in the right order. I opened the program without connecting my player first and it tried to download anyway. I had 6 downloads stall and I was unable to cancel or clear them from the queue. I tried to retry the downloads but Nimiq already updated its timestamp and assumed those podcasts are already up to date.
Again, if you use it properly it does the trick, but it's not very forgiving at all.
