MYS Announces the Release of iTunes Instructional Video

Winnipeg, Canada, November 01, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Macdonald Youth Services (MYS) announces the release of an iTunes instructional video entitled "How to Subscribe to and Play Podcasts Using Apple's iTunes". Podcasts, which are downloadable audio or video files, are a productive way to learn about trends and issues that impact online volunteering within non-profit organizations. iTunes, the dominant free podcatcher available for both Windows or Macs, allows the non-profit user to easily subscribe to a podcast publisher's feed and then have the episodes delivered automatically to their desktop-based podcatcher (iTunes) where they can be played when released.

"Whether the consideration or concern is Internet security or the use of an application, free podcasts, with current information, are available that can assist a non-profit organization develop their online volunteer program", stated MYS's Online Volunteer Program Developer Randy Tyler.

As part of the best practices multimedia publication about Online Volunteering that Randy Tyler is currently developing, many how-to videos have (and are) being produced. In this context, MYS’s Ireland-based online volunteer, Becky Heaman, recently produced the iTunes instructional video, which shows how to download and install Apple's free iTunes podcatcher, configure, subscribe to a podcast feed and play a podcast within iTunes.
