iTunes 4.9 and Podcasting
iTunes is podcasting aware.
It can also handle video. Since version 4.8 onward, iTunes has been able to put movie into iTunes library and then it will activate the appropriate player from there. Cannot make this syndicated but can play it. It will play a thumbnail of the video in the place that album art shows and there is a full-screen pop-over button.
With iTunes 4.9 look for the Podcast button. Management provided to keep all received postings or just the most recent postings, say last 2 or 5.
By going to music store can find link to Podcasts and then subscribe.
Duke is creating podcasts behind password requiring student ID or Duke ID and streaming video available thru podcasting system.
Note that View Options let you define tags to make it easy to search items in the iTunes library whether music or podcasts. Important to know these tags if you are the creator and tag publications appropriately. Can edit this "library" info on podcast files that have been received.
Has a Chapter Tool, which is command line only, and can set up chapters on a lecture to allow jump to certain major points in content. Expect a GUI or graphic version of this at some point. Download from Apple's web site.
Y0u can generate bookmarkable files. That is, can leave a bookmark if you want to come back to same place later. But this ability to go to a bookmark is only in iTunes, not other mp3 players.
