iPods are well-known for their ability to play mp3 tracks and video, but have you thought about other ways iPods can be used to listen to audio? Find out below and where to buy an Apple iPod online.

Unlike real-time streaming, podcasting is a way of distributing radio shows and other audio files to listeners via the internet, which can either be played directly from a PC or MAC, or can be transferred to an iPod music player (or indeed any kind of Apple/mp3/mp4 player) in order to listen at a later time. Basically, podcasts are downloaded to the PC or MAC and then synchronised to a music player such as the iPod Nano or iPod Classic 160GB music/video players.

A piece of software, sometimes called an aggregator - and in this case iTunes - enables you to select podcasts from a range of different genres such as technology shows, discussion shows, unsigned bands, etc. for playback on an iPod nano or larger iPod player.

Podcasts need not be just radio shows: they can be composed of any type of audio or video content.

The attraction of Podcasts is that listeners can choose what they want to listen to and when they want to listen to it on their iPod Nano 8GB/16GB player or iPod Classic 160GB player. Typically, radio stations are making popular presenters' shows available to download. However, Podcasting has spawned a whole new generation of wannabe radio presenters, movie critics and entertainers who are all vying for our attention. Listeners can subscribe to some extremely interesting and useful shows - these are often produced to an extremely high standard.

The iPod Touch lets you download radio Apps to stream internet radio stations to the device. You can listen through headphones or connect the Touch to a speaker dock. Stations such as Absolute Radio have their own dedicated apps, while BBC iPlayer is also available on the iPod Touch through the web browser.

If you want to listen to broadcast radio, look no further than the 6th Generation (and 5th Gen) iPod Nano with FM tuner built-in. You can pause and rewind live radio for up to 15 minutes. The iPod Nano is currently the only player with an FM radio built in.
