 Features i'd like to see in a podcast player:

- Full text search with jump to relevant timestamps (maybe do local speech-to-text with whisper.cpp)
- denoising / enhancement of bad audio (there are AI solutions to this, but i haven't seen it integrated in a player yet)
- ad-skipping (lots of ways to do this one, but hard to do in general) 
 @lainy dunno about ad skipping without a database like sponsorblock ... often the presenter just starts plugging some bullshit product without changing the tone or anything 
 What about controlling noise levels of each audio channel? I’m not sure that can be done retroactively as the podcast data probably needs to be in a specific format.
