Customer Reviews

This is better than the Apple guide
My wife bought me this, almost pocket size although 232 page, book as a present when I purchased an iPod 60Gb. It is brilliant. I refer to it far more than the Apple guide that comes with iTunes. It is packed with useful information, well written and straight forward. Anything you need to know about your iPod is here!

Highly recommended little guide
I bought this on a whim at the airport and couldn't put it down until I had read it all. It is packed with a lot of useful information for both iTunes and the iPod, and answered a lot of questions I had found myself asking while using iTunes and my iPod (i.e. what is a smart playlist and what good is it? Can I set my own equalizer levels for individual songs? Is there a way to transfer music from my iPod to a computer?). There are also many links included for exploring topics further. It's size also makes it easy to carry around for reference. One of my best impulse buys.

So useful...
I bought this book before owning an i-pod. It is superbly written, and will come into its own when I finally buy one! Doesnt spend too much time on the real basics but goes in depth and detail into the many options available to i-pod users, how to use i-tunes,and continually gives countless hints,tips and short-cuts to really get the most from the pod. Excellent value at under a fiver.
