Podcasts
Podcasting is the (usually free) distribution of audio (or video) files on the
internet. Podcasting allows users to automate the downloading of audio files
for immediate or later playback. Authors distribute audio files, which may
appear like a conventional radio broadcast. It is then up to the audience to
create their own playlists through subscriptions: downloading programmes
from multiple sources that they have chosen is then automatic.
NB: A "subscription" to a podcast means that feeds are updated automatically
using RSS technology (see RSS – podcast in the glossary).
Podcasts are accessible in the Podcasts menu (see page 18).

Liveradio – User guide
page
19 / 32
Unlike a radio station, which broadcasts directly, a podcast can group one or more feeds. Every feed
is a file of finite size, regularly and automatically updated.
The podcast and associated feeds may be played at any time. On your Liveradio, you can listen to up
to 10 feeds of the same podcast, which may be several weeks or several minutes old.
Idea: You can customize your podcasts by adding new podcasts to your Liveradio via your personal
space on www.orange.co.uk/liveradio.
Playing a podcast
Playing a podcast is like listening to a radio station. Select the podcast you want to listen to with ,
then choose the feed and press to confirm. Fast forward or backward during a feed by pressing
and holding down >or <for 2 seconds (see fast forward / backward mode page 20).
Note:Feeds are displayed from the newest to the oldest. The first is always the most recent of the
existing feeds.
Other options
You can access the following options in podcast with :
Fast forward / backward
Equalizer
Assign to alarm 1 (if you want to be woken up with the last updated feed)
Assign to alarm 2 (if you want to be woken up with the last updated feed)
Audio book
An audio book is a book that is read out loud, which you listen to. Audio books are available on CDs
and in MP3 format for download.
Even the most recent books are available in an audio version (free or for a charge, via internet sales
sites).
Like a printed book, an audio book consists of several chapters. Every chapter is a file of finite size,
which you can listen to separately from the other chapters, or you can simply choose to listen to
chapters one after another.
Idea: Enjoy more audio books by adding new books to your Liveradio via your personal space on
www.orange.co.uk/liveradio.
