I gather from the sound of crickets chirping that there is still no
viable solution for a CentOS 6 compatible pod cast collector that is
even close to being up to speed.

I've got gpodded 2.19 on my 32 bit machine.  I eventually got gpodder
2.15 installed on my 64 bit machine after several hours of arm twisting.
 Both are hopelessly out of date, but they work for my purposes.

Does anyone know if CentOS 7 has an alternative to Rhythmbox in the
repos?  Does the version of Rhythmbox that comes with CentOS 7 allow one
to easily add and/or remove feeds without having to manually edit an
obscure configuration file?  The one that's packaged with CentOS 6 does not.
