iPod and iTunes for Dummies FROM OUR EDITORS
The Barnes & Noble Review
The iPod keeps getting better. So does iTunes. You can do more, have more fun. But you want to keep things simple: itﾽs about music, not tech. This book knows how to keep things simple.
Authors Tony Bove and Cheryl Rhodes have been demystifying multimedia and creative technologies for 30 years now. (With a stop to produce the interactive CD-ROM rockumentary Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties. So, yes, theyﾽre as passionate about music as you are.) Their completely updated Second Edition covers all you need to know, whether youﾽre hooking your iPod to a Mac or Windows.
That includes setting up, then acquiring music (from Appleﾽs iTunes music store or your own CDs, music files, whatever). It also includes managing your music, either from iTunes (Mac/Windows) or Windowsﾽ MusicMatch Jukebox. Searching tunes, browsing and sorting them, getting song information and album cover art; and of course, using iPodﾽs increasingly popular Smart Playlists.
Bove and Rhoades completely cover CD burning, from choosing discs to setting sound checks and burning preferences. They show how to take your iPod on the road, how to connect it with your carﾽs sound system, even how to build a DJ setup around it.
Thereﾽs some ﾽadvancedﾽ stuff: choosing encoders, adjusting preamp volume, updating firmware. And there are plenty of solutions. Our favorites: how to get your batteries to last a little longer, and how to reduce distortion on external speakers. Want to live happily ever after with your iPod? Get this book.
