Playing podcasts, audiobooks, and iTunes U collections

Podcasts are free, downloadable shows available in the iTunes Store. Podcasts are organized by shows, episodes within shows, and chapters within episodes. If you stop playing a podcast and return to it later, the podcast begins playing where you left off.

Audiobooks are available for purchase and download from the iTunes Store. When you listen to audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store or audible.com, you can adjust the playback speed to be faster or slower than normal. You only see an Audiobooks icon on the Home screen if you synced audiobooks from your iTunes Library.

iTunes U is a part of the iTunes Store featuring free lectures, language lessons, and more, which you can download and enjoy on iPod nano. iTunes U content is organized by collections, items within collections, authors, and providers. You only see an iTunes U icon on the Home screen if you synced iTunes U content from your iTunes Library.

Find podcasts, audiobooks, and iTunes U Collections:

mm On the Home screen, tap Podcasts (or Audiobooks, or iTunes U), then tap a show or title. Podcasts, Audiobooks, and iTunes U are also listed in Music.

Podcast shows and iTunes U collections appear in chronological order, so you can play them in the order in which they were released. A blue dot marks unplayed shows and episodes. When you finish listening to a podcast episode or iTunes U program, the next unplayed or partially played episode begins automatically.

For more information about downloading and listening to podcasts, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help. Then search for “podcasts.”
