Walki-talki.com is proud to announce the release of our self-guided mp3 audio walking tour of historic Munich. See the city that was once the center of the European salt trade and the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. This is the city that took beer to new heights and gave us names like Diesel, Mann and BMW.

Jed Payne has written a beautiful introduction to this European–indeed, world–capital. Your guides Ben Silburn and Francesca bring this wonderful narrative to life in 15 splendid tracks that will guide you from Karlsplatz to Hofgarten. See where kings dwelled and drank beer. Take some time and drink! There is no better place to drink a refreshing wheat beer (or weizenbier, if you prefer).

So, load up your iPhone, iPod, or other mp3 player of choice, print the map, and get to learn the city made famous by monks: Munich.

Some time ago, I wrote about iTunes Agent, a free program that allows you to synchronize your iTunes library with any device.

Another fabulous and free program that can be used to manage your iTunes library and to synchronize your music with a large variety of music players and mobile phones is Floola. Floola is difficult to describe, but it promises to be the ultimate piece of software to read, to process, to manage and to synchronize your iTunes playlist with your iPod, certain mobile phones and mp3 players. Best of all, Floola is available for all platforms: Linux, Windows, and OS X.

So, bear in mind that you need not get trapped into the iTunes/iPod juggernaut. It’s not total freedom, but a definite break from the mainstream.

A while ago, I wrote about how the new iPhone and the iPod Touch may well be the perfect platform for our walking tours. It was awfully nice to read that the Telegraph of London agrees! The Telegraph recently reviewed mp3 walking tours, and in one article, The Telegraph placed walki-talki.com in its list of essential links for the iPhone.

Incidentally, in the other review, The Telegraph mentioned walki-talki.com as one of the best overall tours. So, if you’ve been looking for that perfect travel companion for your iPod or iPhone, look no further.
