The Economics audio animations have been optimised for delivery to iPods via iTunes. The video format used is supported on the iPod Classic, the latest version of the iPod nano, and the iPod touch.

You can drag and drop the animations from your computer into your iTunes Library for cataloguing and organization. They can then be viewed in a small frame in the main iTunes display, in a separate window, or full screen.

The audio animations feed address is : http://media.pearsoncmg.com/intl/ema/ema_uk_he_sloman_generic_1/audio_animations/sloman_animations_pe_rss.xml

Version 6 of iTunes introduced official support for video. Users can subscribe to the animations RSS feed through the iTunes Music Store or by entering the feed url. Podcast feeds are sometimes also known as RSS feeds. There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most people plump for 'Really Simple Syndication'. In essence, the feeds themselves are just web pages, designed to be read by computers rather than people.

The Sloman video podcasts are in mp4 format.
