The Now Playing screen displays the show, episode, and date information, along with elapsed and remaining time. Press the Center 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.

You can also download video podcasts. When you browse for a video podcast, you only hear the podcast; you can’t view it on iPod nano.

Note: If the podcast you’re listening to has chapters, pressing the Next/Fast-forward or Previous/Rewind button skips to the next chapter or the beginning of the current chapter in the podcast.

For more information on podcasts, open iTunes and choose Help > “iTunes and Music Store Help.” Then search for “podcasts.”

Listening to Audiobooks

You can purchase and download audiobooks from the iTunes Music Store or from audible.com and listen to them on your iPod nano.

You can use iTunes to download audiobooks to your iPod nano the same way you download songs. If you stop listening to an audiobook on iPod nano and go back to it later, the audiobook begins playing from where you left off. Unless you’re playing songs from within playlists, iPod nano skips audiobooks when set to shuffle.

If the audiobook you’re listening to has chapters, pressing the Next/Fast-forward or Previous/Rewind button skips to the next chapter or the beginning of the current chapter in the audiobook.

You can play audiobooks at speeds faster or slower than normal.

To set audiobook play speed:

mChoose Settings > Audiobooks and choose a speed.

You can also adjust the reading speed from the Now Playing screen while you’re listening to an audiobook. Press the Center button until you see the Speed menu item, and then use the Click Wheel to set Speed to Slower or Faster.

Setting the play speed only affects audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Music Store or audible.com.

Listening to FM Radio

You can listen to radio using the optional iPod Radio Remote accessory for iPod nano. iPod Radio Remote attaches to your iPod nano using the Dock connector cable. For more detailed instructions on how to use the radio with iPod nano, see the iPod Radio Remote documentation.
