Listening to Audiobooks

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

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

If the audiobook you’re listening to has chapters, you can press the Next/Fast-forward or Previous/Rewind button to skip 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 audiobook play 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 Store or audible.com.

Listening to FM Radio

You can listen to radio using the optional iPod Radio Remote accessory for iPod. iPod Radio Remote attaches to iPod using the Dock connector cable. For more information, see the iPod Radio Remote documentation.
