Stanford on iTunes, Jobs' 2005 Commencement Video
In an unprecedented move, Stanford University is collaborating with Apple Computer to allow public access a wide range of lectures, speeches, debates and other university content through iTunes.
There are presently 500 tracks available for free to all iTunes users. The Stanford iTunes section is only available from a direct link on the Stanford iTunes site.
Of interest to Mac users, they have recently added the full video (iTunes Link) of the Steve Jobs 2005 Commencement Speech at Stanford. A transcript of the speech was previously posted in June 2005.
The Stanford service appears to be a part of a larger initiative by Apple called iTunes U. The service from Apple offers universities the ability to deliver educational content for free.
Its the most powerful way to manage a broad range of audio or video content and make it available quickly and easily to students, faculty, and staff.

"Stanford on iTunes provides access to a wide range of Stanford-related digital audio content via the iTunes Music Store, Apple’s popular music jukebox and online music store. The project includes two sites:
* a public site, targeted primarily at alumni, which includes Stanford faculty lectures, learning materials, music, sports, and more.
* an access-restricted site for students delivering course-based materials and advising content."

As it stands right now, I can download lectures as a non-stanford student. I wonder what the tuition-paying students feel about this...
I agree..One would think this would be password protected.
Downloading now;) Thank you freeness:)
Without this link, it would be impossible to discover such
thing through iTunes. Does anyone know how can
we browse this kind of files ? (lectures, speeches, for example).
I mean, try to type "stanford" or even "dalai lama + stanford"
in the search field. There are no results.

I saw the same thing, downloading now, along with the Dalai Lama speeches. Free education is lovely.
