Listen from Google Labs brings pod casts and web audio to your Android-powered device. It lets you search, subscribe, download and stream. By subscribing to programs and search terms it will create a personalized audio-magazine loaded with fresh shows and news stories whenever you listen. In this release Listen is indexing thousands of popular English-only audio sources.
Listen from Google Labs is part of Google Labs, a playground for Google engineers and adventurous Google users. Google staffers with wild and crazy ideas post their prototypes on Google Labs and solicit feedback on how the technology could be used or improved.
Use the Search bar from the home screen (or “Menu -> Search” from other screens) to search for audio programs. If you know the name of a specific podcast, you can search for that, or you can search for a topic such as “Google”. Once you find search results you like, press on a result to start listening right away or press and hold (long-press) to see more options.
Subscriptions allow you to keep up to date with specific programs or specific search terms. After you press on any search result you’ll see a check box in the upper right; just select it to subscribe to that program. Listen will then always show you the latest episode on the Programs tab of the My Subscriptions screen.
