Podcasts Export saves the episodes in your Apple Podcasts library as ordinary audio files you can use anywhere: a USB stick for the car, an older MP3 player, a phone that is not an iPhone, or simply a folder you keep.
Exporting the original files is free. Podcasts Export Pro, a one-time in-app purchase, adds conversion, your own file names, playlists and artwork, exporting only what is new, and downloading episodes from feeds. If you bought Podcasts Export before it became free, Pro is already yours.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Check the shows and episodes you want.
2. Choose the folders and file names, and with Pro the format.
3. Click Export. The app remembers the folder for next time.
MORE EPISODES (PRO)
• Download older episodes of a show from its public feed; they join the show's list and export like any other
• Get the episodes Apple Podcasts only streams or keeps in iCloud, so they can be exported too
• Episode numbers follow the show's own numbering, so adding older episodes never renumbers the rest
KEEP ONLY WHAT IS NEW (PRO)
Podcasts Export remembers what it has exported from each show. Shows with episodes released since your last export show a count, and those episodes are marked in the list. Turn on "Only episodes not exported before" and repeat exports pick up exactly what you are missing.
FILES THE WAY YOU WANT THEM
• Keep the original file, or with Pro convert to MP3 or AAC at the bit rate you choose
• Number episodes in the order they were published
• A folder per show, per host and show, or everything in one folder
• With Pro, build your own file names from the number, title, show, host and release date, with an example as you type
• With Pro, write an .m3u playlist for each show and save each show's artwork
• Titles and tags are carried over, so files show up properly on your device
MADE FOR REPEAT USE
• Shows with their artwork, and an episode list you can sort and search
• Check episodes with a click, a Shift-click or ⌘K, or check only the new on…
