"iPod Fan Book": Go Everywhere with iPod
Sebastopol, CA--The iPod is the world's most popular portable music
player. It's a cultural phenomenon and a fashion statement. And with this
remarkably lightweight powerhouse in their pockets, people can take their
entire music library out for a walk. "The iPod has created a legion of
users sporting distinctive white headphones, and people are as passionate
about their iPods as they are about the music they choose to play on
them," says Yasukuni Notomi, author of the new iPod Fan Book (O'Reilly,
US $14.95). "The iPod has become more than a music player--it's become a
lifestyle."
For anyone who wants to live the fullest iPod lifestyle possible, this
sleek, full-color fan book is a quick and fun way to learn all the
features and capabilities of the mighty little device. The iPod Fan Book
delivers everything from connecting the iPod, loading music, ripping CDs
the right way (as well as the lazy way!), using iTunes with Windows,
optimizing sound quality, protecting the iPod, saving the battery's life,
burning iPod tunes onto CDs and DVDs, using the iPod as a hard drive, and
much more.
This compact guide includes tips, tricks, and plenty of resources for:
Creating playlists for every mood and occasion (and even every member of the family)
Connecting the iPod to a household or car stereo system
Traveling with the iPod
Making the iPod do more than just store and play music (including transforming it into a PDA and/or a news machine)
Distinguishing the "must items" from the "maniac items" when facing the countless iPod accessories on the market
Whether they're new to the ranks of iPod fans or longtime users, readers
will find this nifty little book to be the ultimate one-stop resource for
enriching the iPod experience.
