Playing music files is similar to playing video files (see Section 3.5 on page 31 for an example of how to play a video file). One key difference is that you can play music files while you use the DMA’s menus or play photo files or slideshows (use the TOOL menu and the View Current Slideshow Music option to identify a music file that is playing).
7.2 Podcast (RSS)
Podcasting is a way of publishing frequently updated audio files on the Internet. You use an aggregator (also called a reader) to subscribe to podcasts. Subscribe to a podcast and you can access new audio files as they are added. You usually play the content on your computer or a portable music player like an iPod.
At the time of writing, the DMA servers as a reader for audio podcasts that use Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0) and iTunes RSS feeds. Websites with an RSS feed usually display an RSS icon (shown next). Add the podcast’s URL in the DMA’s Podcast menu to be able to play the feed’s audio files.
