iTunes U

There have been several stories in the news lately about colleges partnering with Apple to offer podcasts of lectures or other audio content through iTunes. (see below for example) Aside from the questions these partnerships raise about Apple, marketing, and iPod dominance, they also raise questions about how the CTL (LRG? UVM?) might enable this kind of activity. Should we be encouraging UVM to make it's intellectual capital available this way? How can we support this? What hurdles must be cleared to make the process easier? How do we get beyond the "early adoptor" stage?

Lets also compare things between the iTunes & Win Amp. I would say that overall things are pretty even between the two programs. Each application has some benefits against each other, like iTunes is easier to use but win amp has more power for pure playing. iTunes gives provides an easy access to more music via its store while win amp is more flexible to use and of course has better looks.

In the end however, one comes to the real point - performance. Basically both work fine under all conditions but ultimately that application will have an edge which would have the provision to play all video and audio codecs, its ability to update with latest offerings in music world, plug in supports and user friendly interface etc.

iTunes U is a part of the iTunes Store featuring free lectures, language lessons, audiobooks, and more, that you can enjoy on your iPod, iPhone, Mac or PC.
