34 Using iPod
Listening to Spoken Word Audio
You can purchase and download spoken word audiobooks from the iTunes Music
Store (available in some countries/regions only) or from audible.com and listen to
them on your iPod.
You can use iTunes to transfer audiobooks to your iPod the same way you transfer
songs.
If you stop listening to an audiobook on iPod and go back to it later, the
audiobook begins playing from where you left off.
Unless you’re playing songs from within playlists, iPod skips audiobooks when set
to shuffle.
Setting the Reading Speed
You can play audiobooks at speeds faster or slower than normal.
To set the playing speed of an audiobook:
■
Select Settings > Audiobooks and select a speed.
Setting the reading speed only affects audiobooks purchased from the
iTunes Music Store or audible.com.
Seeing How Many Songs and Photos Are on iPod
To see how many songs and photos are stored on iPod, how much disk space is
left, and other information, select Settings > About in the iPod main menu.
