32 Using iPod
Listening to Podcasts
With iTunes 4.9, iPod supports listening to podcasts. Podcasts are radio-style audio
shows delivered over the Internet. You can subscribe to podcasts, download them
using the iTunes Music Store, transfer them to your iPod, and listen to them at your
convenience.
Podcasts are organized by shows, episodes within shows, and chapters within
episodes. If you stop listening to a podcast and go back to it later, the podcast begins
playing from where you left off.
To listen to a podcast:
1 Select Music > Podcasts, and then select a show.
2 Select an episode to play it.
The Now Playing screen displays the show, episode, and date information, along with
elapsed and remaining time. Press the Select button to see more information about
the podcast. If the podcast includes art, you also see a picture. Podcast art can change
during an episode, so you might see several pictures during the podcast.
For more information about podcasts, in iTunes, choose Help > “iTunes and Music Store
Help,” and search for “podcasting.”
