I have a droid that I am trying to use with podtrapper, everything works great except I cannot listen via bluetooth.....any suggestions? I have done research and found that it should do it automatically with android but I can find no joy. Please help.

Hmm, what type of headset are you using?

If your bluetooth is not A2DP capable, Android won't force audio through it (only phone calls). The only work around that I've found is an application called Super BT Mono. It forces all sounds through the bluetooth (including a beep in your headset when your phone rings or you receive a notification). The downside is that it's $6 in the Market (after a 5 day trial).

Actually, I decided to check appbrain, and I've found a few others. There's Bluetooth Switcher for $2.99, Bluetooth Audio Widget for $2.73, and CarUI for $1.36. CarUI also has a Lite version that's free, presumably with ads. I can't speak to how well any of these work (if they even work at all), as I've only used Super BT Mono.

Hopefully the Android devs will put something in the OS that allows audio to go to non-A2DP headsets. It's really something that should be a default option.

This is something I'd like to add to PodTrapper itself, but it's very device-specific, so I've been holding off. It'll make it there eventually, though.
