Free Italy Audio Tours from Rick Steves

Tonight I am working on downloading and getting all the Italy Audio Tours from Rick Steves loaded onto the iPod. I am not sure if we are going to use them but they will be good to have in case we do want to. We are hitting all 3 cities he has tours for: Rome, Florence and Venice. We already have a headphone splitter. They also come with little maps to accompany the tour. I think we have most of those from his Italy book already but these maps are a little larger.

In all there are 12 tours across the 3 cities and each one is divided up into several different files. They are about 40 minutes each with the shortest being the Pantheon (19 minutes) and the longest being the Uffizi Gallery (48 minutes). The ID3 tags need a little work though. I changed mine so the album name is the name of the location. Before they were just split into 2 albums. Now when we want to listen we can browse by artist to Rick Steves and the by album to find the tour we need. The mp3s also only take up 416 MB on your music player so there is plenty of room for other music and/or photos (We bought our iPod specifically to store photos while traveling).
