iTunes is a music program, yes, but it's also designed to receive podcasts. The latest version of iTunes is available directly from Apple's website. iTunes is free and is available for both Mac and PC.
Now, you have to subscribe to our podcast. All you have to do is click the subscribe button below and iTunes will launch and go directly to our podcast profile. You'll see our podcast page with a listing of our most recent messages. (You can download an individual message from here, also.) Click the "subscribe" to subscribe to the podcast.
As soon as you've successfully subscribed, the latest message will automatically begin downloading and you will see the previous messages listed (but greyed out). Please allow some time for the download, since the file size can be large depending on sermon length. After it is complete, you may begin listening to the message.
If you'd like to download previous messages, simply hit the "get" button next to their name.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Podcasts
Podcasts are audio broadcasts created and stored digitally on the Internet. Instead of being broadcast over the airwaves once and lost, like with traditional radio, podcasts were created to be stored and played at the user's convenience. Think of them as radio shows waiting to be downloaded. In our case, this are our weekly services.
Do I Need An IPod To Listen To Podcasts?
No, you can use your computer or any other MP3 player.
How Do Podcasts Work
Podcasts use RSS (really simple syndication) to "feed" files to your computer. RSS usually involves headlines and text, but we've devised a way to have it move audio files. Once you've installed Podcasting software, you can select podcasts to subscribe to in two different ways: Either clicking the selection button to see a directory of available podcasts or enter a URL for a podcast you've found on your own.
Most software lets you set the scheduling options so that your computer scans for new downloads as often as you like, or you can control it manually. When it is done downloading new files, it adds them to your library, all ready to be played or synched to your MP3 device.
