This is just a little moan about the format of the mp3 files:- 1) The filename is just a meaningless jumble of numbers and difficult to sort and playlist with the other regular podcasts that I download. For example what's wrong with "Pod_Delusion_24.mp3" instead of "3452_20100305003325.mp3" 2) The file won't play on WMP - missing codec reported 3) Missing mp3 tags (title artist album etc.), my Creative player lists by MP3 tags not filenames 4) For some reason the track length is not properly coded. This means that I can't fast forward/skip back. 5) I don't have these problems with other podcasts I work round these problems, but this may stop new listeners from downloading more episodes Please keep up the good work! Dave Hi,

First off, being a self-confessed armchair skeptic I like the Podcast, interesting and informative.

This is just a little moan about the format of the mp3 files:-
1) The filename is just a meaningless jumble of numbers and difficult to sort and playlist with the other regular podcasts that I download.
For example what’s wrong with “Pod_Delusion_24.mp3″ instead of “3452_20100305003325.mp3″
2) The file won’t play on WMP – missing codec reported
3) Missing mp3 tags (title artist album etc.), my Creative player lists by MP3 tags not filenames
4) For some reason the track length is not properly coded. This means that I can’t fast forward/skip back.
5) I don’t have these problems with other podcasts

I work round these problems, but this may stop new listeners from downloading more episodes
Please keep up the good work!

Dave
