I find it really frustrating when they automatically start the next podcast when the pervious one has finished. I don’t usually want to listen to the next one in the list!

I also find this to be an annoying new “feature”. It also screws up the “New” and “Not New” tags on the podcast if I get stuck listening to the first 10 seconds of a podcast I hadn’t intended to listen to. I hope this changes with the 2.2 firmware upgrade!!

I completely agree with Jonathan. I upgraded to v2.1 recently and this is the worst new “feature” ever. Searching google madly for a solution but to no avail so far.

It would be handy if you could turn it on or off but I don’t see anything in the preferences in iTunes or the settings on the iPhone.

Different Strokes…. I just noticed this yesterday on my drive to work and it’s the one feature I can’t stand. I drive for over 2 hours daily. With the continuous playback the next one in the list starts, marking it ‘not new’ immediately. This makes the numerous podcast I listen to more difficult to manage. I liked that it stopped after playing so I could choose the next thing to listen to based upon the amount of time I have left in the car.
