MP3 or Podcast? The audio walk can be played on any iPod, MP3 player or mobile phone with MP3. The audio walk is easy to get as either a podcast or MP3 tracks. If you have a compatible screen on your player you will also see pictures of the places being talked about.
Which format is right for you? If you have iTunes or other podcasting software, we recommend the podcast as it is easier. Otherwise choose the MP3 format.
How to get the audio tour onto your MP3 player
You download a ZIP or "archive" file to your computer. Then you unpack the MP3 tracks and copy them to your player. Follow these steps:

- Click the Download link below. This begins the process of downloading to your computer the single ZIP file containing all the tracks of the audio guide.
- Save the ZIP file on your desktop. You may be prompted to do this, or it may be done automatically.
- Wait for the audio guide to download.
- Find the ZIP file, which
is called Cambridge_Past_And_Present.zip, on your desktop and open it. You will see the MP3 tracks.
