Listening to Podcasts

With iTunes 4.9, iPod mini supports listening to podcasts. Podcasts are downloadable radio-style shows delivered over the Internet. You can subscribe to podcasts, download them using the iTunes Music Store, transfer them to your iPod mini, 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:

1Select Music > Podcasts, and then select a show.

2Select 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.

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