Stanford on iTunes
Forbes is reporting that Stanford University is making a deal with Apple to provide audio content through iTunes. These would be lectures, speeches and other campus events. The new service is called Stanford on iTunes.
While I applaud their efforts I don't like that their conent is only available via iTunes. If they want to make if free to the public why not just post the RSS feed and let us enjoy?
Not only that but, from their FAQ:
"The tracks offered in Stanford on iTunes are kept apart from the content on the main
iTunes Music Store. Thus, you will not be able to access Stanford on iTunes directly without
first visiting itunes.stanford.edu."
"The tracks offered in Stanford on iTunes are kept apart from the content on the main

Wouldn't want just anyone stumbling across educational content. And, oh yeah, m4a format so I have an extra step to do to get it to mp3.
Update: Poking around Standford's site I did find that they have a series of guest lecturers from their Technology Ventures Program that are available as podcasts. You can sign up using iTunes or whatever client you like here: Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders. Subscribed.
