Help Do I Need an iPod?

 

Do I need an iPod to listen to podcasts?

No, you can listen to the Shulamite Podcast many ways.


The easiest way, once set up, is through iTunes (described below) because it will automatically download to your computer each issues as they are made available. (You must be connected to the internet) But you can also listen directly through this website http://www.shulamitepodcast.comSimply check back on Sunday mornings and the most recent edition of the podcast will be available on the front page.  Also, if you prefer, Manna in the Morning, Martha’s daily devotional, will send you an E-mail reminder with a link to the site after each Podcast episode is made available.


What if I want an MP3 version?

• Sure, click here to get your audio only MP3 file>> http://feeds.feedburner.com/ShulamitePodcastRSS


    The Podcast published at this site is in m4a format which means it has audio and visual.

    At the http://feeds.feedburner.com/ShulamitePodcastRSS page it is in mp3 format which is audio only
    and might work better for other mp3 players.

What Is A Podcast?

Here's a little info from Apple.com:


"Podcasts are radio shows or other audio programs available for download over the Internet. The maker of a podcast, called a podcaster, often updates their podcast with a series of episodes that you can subscribe to. iTunes offers built-in support for podcasting so that you can find, listen, subscribe to and manage podcasts that interest you. You can also transfer podcasts to iPod for listening on the go."


Here's a brief description from Wikipedia:


"Podcasting is the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either RSS or Atom syndication for listening on mobile devices and personal computers. The term podcast, like "radio", can mean both the content and the method of delivery. Podcasters' websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming. Usually, the podcast features one type of "show" with new episodes either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily, weekly, etc."
