Title: UTILIZATION OF PODCASTS ON PORTABLE MEDIA DEVICES
Abstract: Improved techniques to facilitate use of podcasts on a portable media device are disclosed. A podcast to be played can be located on the portable media device and then played for the benefit of a user. According to one aspect, a podcast can be located on the portable media device using hierarchical menus. According to another aspect, metadata for a podcast can be displayed while the podcast is being played. The metadata can be changed in response to user input or can be dynamically changed without user input.
