Secrets of the iPod, Third Edition


by Christopher Breen

Got 10 seconds? Download an album! That's the kind of magic Apple's new iPod digital music players afford. That, and enough storage space for more than 7,000 songs; a slim, super lightweight design (weighing less than two CDs!); and access to the iTunes Music Store and its 200,000 or so songs. And these represent just the tip of the iceberg! To get the inside skinny on all you can do with the latest iPod models, you need this fun, practical, thoroughly updated volume from popular Mac columnist and author Christopher Breen. A reengineered, all-touch interface; customizable menus; on the-go playlists; support for more (and better) audio formats; a new travel alarm clock; wired remote control; an elegant and convenient charging and syncing dock; and a trio of fun games are just some of the new features covered here. You'll also find hints for accessorizing and protecting your iPod, tips for maximizing its storage capabilities, and troubleshooting advice for when it refuses to cooperate.
