Customer Reviews

Leave this book on the shelf
This book is a straightforward user guide, but it does not tell you how to deal with music files that are incompatible with the iPods proprietory system, which is a disapointing omission.

This is not a trouble shooting guide, so if you are looking for comprehensive information, leave this on the shelf.

A good resource for any iPod owner
This book is an excellent guide for anyone who has bought themselves an iPod. I am an advanced computer user, but I am not beyond looking at any book which is aimed at the 'beginner'. There is always something new to learn, and this book filled a few gaps in my knowledge about 'Authorizing' my computer, and some useful tips for managing my iTunes library. If anyone has recently acquired an iPod (4th generation and previous) or iPod mini, they will find this book useful and informative.
