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 o.
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

episode begins automatically.
