Book Reviews of Master Visually iPod and iTunes
Book Review: A must Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to state that I am an iPod fanatic and spend a good part of my day convincing others why they should own an iPod. I bought one of 1G iPods and currently own a 3G and a shuffle and enjoy using them all the time. The iTunes music store is great because I no longer need to worry about my 400 cd collection getting any larger .. just a good backup. So when I took this book to review I thought to myself that there was very little that I could learn from this book cause I knew it already right ... WRONG !!
I was impressed from the time I cracked the cover to the time I wrote this review. It taught me things I have not read in any leading Mac magazine and it it did so in easy to follow two pages lessons and they up to their name being visual. The screenshots are very clear and easy to read. There are no 50 page lessons here. This book in addition to covering the Mac also details using a Windows PC (for those that have not made the jump). I found this to be a welcomed step as I believe the iPod is a good vehicle for getting those PC users to come over to the Mac community.
The book is comprised of five parts, that leads you very easily and methodically through using the iPod and iTunes (Part 1 & 2) . Part 3 - it very clearly describes in words and visually how to use the iPod as a PDA and external hard disk. Part IV deal extensively with iTunes in detail, in this chapter you learn about further organization of the iTunes library, editing song information, customization of iTunes and more. It covers streaming radio stations. I currently record my favorite NPR programs to my computer and transfer them to my iTunes library. I am then free to listen to them at my leisure on one of my iPods. Part V describes Sharing your iTunes Library on Disc or Online which includes burning cd's, creating jewel case inserts, sharing and looking for shared music. The book has a section on the iPod Photo which covers it in detail from optimizing images to creating slideshows to how to sow them on your television.
Let's not forget about the online music store exclusively for iPod. [...]
There is an appendix called Web Resources which provides a plethora of additional detail beyond this book.
I can't wait for the next edition to cover the Nano and newly announced video iPods which Apple announced as I finished writing this review today.
