In addition to music, Walkman users can listen to or view podcasts. Podcasts are typically episodic and often feature Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds which allow users to subscribe and get new podcasts automatically. Podcasts are typically audio files, but there are also video podcasts available for download. To play a video podcast, your Walkman must have video capabilities. If you subscribe via RSS, Sony's Media Manager for Walkman software will manage podcast downloads to the Walkman.
Step 1
