Podcasts What is a Podcast?

A Podcast is an audio file, in our case, a recording of a lecture or special event, along with a way to subscribe to a collection of files for automatic delivery to your iPod when it is synchronized with iTunes. The lecture isn’t live, so you can listen to it whenever you want.

How do I get a Podcast?

We recommend using iTunes which is available for both the Mac and the PC. iTunes version 7 and above supports podcasting. Once you have updated or installed version 7 or above, you will need to add Princeton University’s Podcast to iTunes. To add the Podcast, Choose Advanced, "Subscribe to Podcast" and enter the URL for the particular year http://www.princeton.edu/newmedia/podcast/2006.xml, then click OK.

How do I customize the Podcast?

To set the frequency iTunes checks for new subscription podcast episodes, choose Edit > Preferences and click Podcasts. Then choose an option from the "Check for new episodes" pop-up menu. To set the number of subscription podcast episodes iTunes automatically downloads, choose Edit > Preferences and click Podcasts. Then choose an option from the "When new episodes are available" pop-up menu. If you choose "Do nothing," new episodes appear dimmed in the Podcasts playlist. You must click the Get button next to the episode to download it.
