I intend to get rid of the iPhone as soon as its doable. Until then I need the lowest friction solution to sync podcasts from the Vocals (or similiar) desktop podcasting app, and the IPhone.
Current solution:
connect the iPhone to the Linux.
Click “trust this computer”
Copy/paste Vocals directory into the VLC iPhone directory. Use VLC on the iPhone.
Problem: High friction. Does not track plays & listens. Does not auto delete played podcasts.
Anyone have a better solution? Ideal solution would have a Linux desktop app that works well with the iPhone app. And could sync seamlessly.
P.S. I’m happy to jailbreak if necessary.
