elapsed and remaining time. Press the Center button to see more information about
the podcast. If the podcast includes art, you also see a picture. Podcast art can change

Listening to Audiobooks
You can purchase and download audiobooks from the iTunes Music Store or from
audible.com and listen to them on your iPod nano.
You can use iTunes to download audiobooks to your iPod nano the same way you
download songs. If you stop listening to an audiobook on iPod nano and go back to it
later, the audiobook begins playing from where you left off. Unless you’re playing songs
from within playlists, iPod nano skips audiobooks when set to shuffle.
If the audiobook you’re listening to has chapters, pressing the Next/Fast-forward or
Previous/Rewind button skips 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:
m Choose Settings > Audiobooks and choose a speed.
You can also adjust the reading 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 Music Store
or audible.com.
Listening to FM Radio
You can listen to radio using the optional iPod Radio Remote accessory for iPod nano.
iPod Radio Remote attaches to your iPod nano using the Dock connector cable. For
more detailed instructions on how to use the radio with iPod nano, see the iPod Radio
