iPod & iTunes -THE MISSING MANUAL Third Edition
It’s rare for me to read a self help book cover to cover. I usually skip around reading the chapters that have the greatest interest for me. But, iPods were a subject that I knew very little, so I decided to read the whole book which wasn’t a chore because it read as smoothly and quickly as a novel.
After the initial chapters learning; what, how and why , I discovered the iPod was much more than a music player. In reality, the book explains how to use the iPod as a Palm Pilot ( calendar, address book, alarm clock etc.,), as a Game Boy ( some even included), as a hard drive ( use it to carry large files around) and a few other clever touches like recording messages on the go for later processing etc.
This book could be called another “ Book for Dummies” because it is written in “very easy to understand” english. Technical words are explained right away. This book further advanced my knowledge of iTunes, which I realized I’d only scratched the surface. Things like Podcasts, Audiobooks and most importantly, how to handle my songs into lists etc.
This book, published by O’Reilly, will be an important research book in my Library because like most of the missing manual series the chapters and sub titles are very organized. It’s easy to find the subject of interest. The index is very inclusive also.
