    Pocket Casts is a great program, but it is purely focused on podcasts, not on audio and video player and library management. For example, it cannot rip audio CDs or play movies.

    It is an audio player but doesn't really manage the library. Track/album/artist information seems to be non existent and doesn't seem to support and scraping features to make sure meta data and album art are accurate.
