Hi Rick, Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that to me. I now have a better understanding about Podcasts, and audio tutorials. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that if I hit enter on the .mp3 file to download it, and it lets me it's an audio tutorial? I don't have any kind of Pod catcher on my computer. I am only interested in the audio tutorials. I was looking at some of the tutorials on the blind geek zone website, and I am interested in maintenance and security tutorials for your PC. Will audio tutorials play in winamp? Also if the tutorial has directions to follow can you play and pause winamp while following the directions? Thanks again!
