Video screen modes include: normal, wide and fullscreen play. You can even take video snapshots. Other player features include detailed, interactive Show Notes for each episode, comprehensive download management, simple drag and drop of new podcasts, and integrated synchronisation with the podcast database. The inbuilt search engine allows for both word and phrase searches, and is further enhanced by several advanced search options. Browsing is available by podcast Tags, languages and major Podcasters.

Search results are detailed and informative including language translation options. The database is auto-correcting when a podcast is accessed. The serach engine also provides quick links to other major directories, OPML, search and news sites. Podsage is Freeware.
