A Podcast is an MP3 file and all you need to play it is an MP3 player. With the help of the FREE software iTunes 6, you are already able to listen to a Podcast. You only need an iPod or other Mobile MP3 Player if you want to listen to a podcast while you are working out, driving to work or taking the dog for a walk.

Please insure you are using the latest version of iTunes 6.0.4.2 with QuickTime 7 for PC or iTunes 6.0.4 (3) for Mac.

To see which version you have, open iTunes.

For PC: Click the Help menu > About iTunes

You can download and install the newest version from: www.apple.com/itunes

3. iTunes Most Current Version, Still Not Prompted For Password
