Really liking the smart speed and voice boost features. Feels like a huge improvement on my favorite podcast (Gear Geeks Live) which typically has audio quality issues.

Don't like getting hit up for an email address right off the bat, but Marco has a pretty solid track record.



Yes it would be nice to avoid this until you are sold.

It would also be nice to have an explanation as to why it's needed (web client etc).


From the faq [1]:

> Why an email address instead of a username?

> Password resets.

> I tried usernames with Instapaper at first, but people forgot their passwords and got locked out of their accounts all the time. It was by far the top support problem. Email addresses fix that. (Nothing’s stopping you from entering a fake address, but if you forget your password, I won’t be able to help.)
