Lauren, Sorry, I can't retrieve your initial message, but I bet I gave you bad info thinking you were referring to an iPod TOuch. :) Okay, well in iTunes you have a few options. If your listening to a track you can simply hit left or right arrow to move backward or forward between tracks. TO move rapidly through a track you are listening too, you can hold down the command and option keys and press either the left or right arrow to move back/forward through a track.
As far as setting the podcasts up, you can make some global settings if you wish by doing the following. 1. First go to the sources table and choose podcasts. 2. If you navigate past the songs table you will encounter some buttons and one of these is the settings button. This is after the subscribe button as a reference. IN the settings menu you can configure change how often podcasts are downloaded, episodes to keep, etc. 3. You can also change each podcast such as setting auto delete etc. You do this by going to the songs table where you can select a podcast. Please be aware that each podcast will appear as a collapsed tree which can be expanded by interacting with the table, selecting the podcast, and pressing VO-keys-\ to expand or collapse the tree. Once you have selected the podcast or individual episode, you can interact with the item and press VO-keys-shift-m to bring up a context menu where you can choose a number of options and one of those is to auto delete the episodes as you listen to them or just that particular episode. I hope this helps and if you need further help, let me know or if you want to talk via Skype or something, I can try to help that way as well. hth, On Dec 28, 2009, at 6:55 PM, Lauren wrote: > Hey Scott, > I'm sorry I wasn't more specific.
