Rhythmbox, found in the MATE menus at Menu > Sound & Video > Rhythmbox, is a very easy to use music
playing and management program which supports a wide range of audio formats (including MP3 and ogg). Originally inspired by
Apple's iTunes, Rhythmbox is much easier to understand and use, and it supports Internet
Radio, iPod integration and generic
portable audio player support, audio CD burning, audio CD playback, music sharing, and podcasts.

To play an episode, select one from the list and press the ▶ (Play) button. You may wish to click on the header of the Date field to sort the episodes so that the latest episode is at the top of the list. As long as you have an Internet connection, you can play any of the older episodes without downloading them. Right-click any episode in the list to see an option to download that episode.
