      <![CDATA[<p>CNET News had an <a href="http://news.com.com/Stanford+using+iTunes+to+take+lectures+global/2100-1041_3-5931232.html?part=rss&tag=5931232&subj=news">article</a> last month about Stanford's <a href="http://itunes.stanford.edu/">iTunes initiative</a>.  Basically, Stanford has made audio (described as "Stanford-related digital audio content" on the website) available for download through the iTunes music store.</p>

<p>To access Stanford on iTunes, you must go to the program website and follow the link on the main page (or click <a href="https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/ITCSBrowse.woa/wa/Browse?destination=StanfordPublic"> here</a>).</p>

<p>I get the impression from the article and the Stanford website that the service is primarily intended for alumni, even though anyone can download the files from iTunes.  I find this a puzzling decision - is there truly a strong demand from alumni for university lectures?  I would like to see Stanford make the page accessible from the main iTunes Music Store, giving everyone a chance to listen in.</p>]]>
