I also really like to visit the iTunes U, because I can get more from the educational video and audio coming from universities, museums and other institutions. And I think it is the best way to seek expert opinion about the subjects that there is little information on the web.

It's been quite controversial as many authors and publishers have felt ripped off, and I can understand why at the same time that I benefit from it. You can search any word or phrase and books discussing the topic will come up, even if the word/phrase isn't in the book title. .-= Rosana Hart´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.findgoodinformation.com/research/use-google-books-for-research/" rel="nofollow">Use Google Books for Research</a> =-.

And my yesterday too, actually, because that's when I first read your comment but somehow I forgot to approve it. Cheers, Warren Diana, you just made my day!

I was one of those once. I used to like the Now Playing window, so easy to use and a feature that's missing from iTunes (I know you can use a playlist but it's not the same for some reason). That's an interesting idea about speeding up the audio, but do you find you remember it as well at higher speed? I imagine I'd recall less, but it might be worth trying, if only as an excuse to use Winamp again... Excellent, A WinAMP user! I was one of those once.

That's absolutely right. I easily get bored watching video or listening to audio. I have already installed a plugin for WinAMP so that I can speed up the audio (without altering the pitch).

That is a good point actually, you don't get to scan with a video. But, you can multi-task more easily; watch while eating, or get the audio and stick it on your ipod to listen to while travelling.

I'll try these sites the next time I'm doing research for a new blog article. Video and audio make it harder for me though to scan the information quickly. You can easily scan a large page of text, but you normally have to watch the entire video or listen to the entire audio file to know if they contain anything worthwhile. Great blog by the way! I'll be back for more. Thanks for the information! I’ll try these sites the next time I’m doing research for a new blog article.
