+gPodder is a GTK2 media aggregator
+
+gPodder is a podcast receiver/catcher written in Python utilizing PyGTK for
+its user interface. gPodder allows the user to subscribe to RSS feeds for
+podcasts, videocasts, and other similar content and download media files
+found in those feeds. gPodder has system-tray notifications, support for
+optional iPod synchronization, and MP3/Ogg id3 tag editing.
+
+This application requires python and vorbis-tools, part of the
+standard Slackware installation. It also requires intltool,
+xdg-utils, feedparser, help2man, sqlite, and pysqlite2 all of which
+can be found here at SlackBuilds.org. One can also enable optional
+id3 tagging and MP3-OGG conversion features by installing eyeD3,
+id3lib, and lame, all of which can also be found here at
+SlackBuilds.org. Finally, some of the other features in gPodder, such
+as iPod synchronization, bittorrent downloading, and Bluetooth
+file-sharing are currently disabled pending future SlackBuilds for
+those components.
