LISTEN, FROM GOOGLE LABS, is my Android App of the Week. It downloads and runs for free on my Xperia X10 handset and is smart enough to pull its audio feeds only when connected to a wifi node. Listen has connected me to social audio. I use Listen to automatically cache TWiT, TWiG, FIR, e-learning stuff, IPR, CPB, DSC, Huffduffer, TAL, NYTTT, IHR, and a rising chorus of Audioboos. It is smart enough to rejoin clips where paused. It respects SD card memory so it asks for the number of episodes I wish to keep on the handset. It manages podcasts better than iTunes. I haven't tried to manage audio files harvested by Listen while using SonyEricsson's software but I imagine that's possible with a little diving into the file structure.

Audioboo -- "Sharing Social Audio" was recorded on the Xperia X10 that SE graciously loaned me for stress testing.
