b. Favourites - Your favourite podcasts (actually playlists containing pointers to remote Podcasts files);

c. Received Files - Contains audio files downloaded by a third party program.

playlist files:

Settings 

- Received Files

The Podcast settings file is at:

C:\SpeakOn\app\VI_Services\Podcast\config\config.txt

By default the main directory of your podcast's received files is set to:

directory=${user.content.dir}/Podcast

Where the ${user.content.dir} is set by default to C:/SpeakOn_User_Content

Do not modify this setting.

You can include your podcast received files folders in the Library by using the procedure described in:

Tutorial > Listening to VI services media > VI Podcast > Including podcasts files stored on your computer in the Library

- Changing the location of the 'Favourites' directory:

This setting is not required unless you want to use a different folder on your computer.

Using a text editor, open the file (assuming you installed SpeakOn on the 'C' drive)

C:\SpeakOn\app\VI_Services\Podcast\config\config.txt

Change your Favourites directory set by default to:

favourites.directory=${user.content.dir}/Podcast/Favourites

Change the directory path to the required folder on your computer.

Save the file.
