Podcast and Forum Technical Problems

DAB PodCast won't play on BlackBerry as of 1/1/15
My BlackBerry DAB App will not play the DAB Podcasts for 1/1/15 or 1/2/15. It says "Error - The file can't be played due to an unexpected error. (1)"

I can listen on my LapTop, so I think it's unique to my BlackBerry Z-10 phone. This just started yesterday and I can go back to those the December PodCasts on my phone.

Does anyone know anything specific to BlackBerry App concerning the beginning of the year?

Please help. Thanks.
Blessings,
Dave

Dave,

Thanks for reaching out! After a significant period of serious evaluation, the DAB podcast has been changed to a different type of audio file that may be a part of the issue you're experiencing. The new format (M4A instead of MP3) allows the DAB to produce a higher quality audio file using a smaller file size, allowing the DAB to continue to reach those who have limited bandwidth or internet access.

The DAB does not have a dedicated BlackBerry app. There are a number of 3rd party apps out there, or you might check out BlackBerry's own podcast app at http://us.blackberry.com/apps/blackberry-apps/podcast.html?displaychannelpage=desktop#tab-1. I can't personally speak to the compatibility of any of these apps, though, but invite you try them out, or access the feed directly at http://feeds.feedburner.com/dailyaudiobible.
