Castamatic Podcast Player

Highlights
---------------
A piece of the iPod lives on inside Castamatic. The "On the Go" playlist was originally meant to assemble a new playlist on the iPod if inspiration came while away from the computer, and then sync it to iTunes as soon as user goes back home. This becomes even more useful in Castamatic, where users can pick the episodes they want to listen to in their next listening session and assemble them in a playlist just before leaving. The On the Go playlist will mantain the same order in which the episodes were added, then the user can move and rearrange them manually. As soon as an episode has been completely listened to it will be automatically removed from the On the Go playlist.
