Are these very basic functions missing???

I own a Lumia 925.

Am I being silly or is it not possible to download documents from the Onedrive app? I just cant seem to find the option. I have uploaded a bunch of podcasts to listen to at work (no 3g.. nor willing to use up my data) so want to download them onto my phone but I cant find the download button.

Also, in the Music and Videos app... can you not fast forward through an .mp3? ie, I listened to the first 30mins of a 1hr program, took a call and now I only seem to be able to start from the beginning again!

Surely its possible to perform these two tasks!?

Welcome to wpcentral forums
You can not download .mp3 or podcast from onedrive as of now , use the store to download your fav podcast
Sadly no , you can not scrub songs , only method is to hold the fast forward button ;(
Windows phone 8.1 is right in the corner , so this might bring lot of improvements and enchantments

Ahhh, brilliant... I didn't know you could hold the forward button. That's good enough for me! So that problem solved! Thank you.

As for downloading the podcast. I download my podcasts using my Windows 8 laptop directly from the BBC website so its easy to upload to Onedrive. Its only after uploading a few days worth of listening I realised id have to plug my phone into the laptop and transfer that way.

I've only just waved goodbye to Google/Android (more specifically cyanogenmod, which is actually excellent) forever so WP8 is still fresh and clean to me. I am looking forward to Windows Phone 8.1

My only gripe with Microsoft is that you need a Windows 8 64bit system to create apps. So, so silly to only make Windows Phone SDK 8.0 64bit only. It might be the death of our amazing PC/Phone combo.

I forgot to say!

Thank you for your reply. Its honestly restored a confidence drop in my change from Android to WP.
