Book Review: iPod and iTunes for Dummies
Summary: 5 Stars
Being relatively new to the iPod and ITunes world I was a bit intimidated by the overwhelming amount of options out there just for music, much less for all the other incredible things that an iPod can do. So when an opportunity came to review "iPod and iTunes for Dummies" I jumped at it.
I was pleasantly surprised as I scanned the book. It was laid out very well for a reference book. The eight-page table of contents is easy and straightforward to negotiate. It is broken down into six parts including an introduction with a short synopsis of each part. The parts include set-up and acquisition of media, managing the media, playing the iPod, advanced techniques, traveling with the iPod, and of course problem solving. The index is also user friendly. A problem I often have with other computer reference books is trying to figure out the right words to identify the problem I am trying to resolve. I did not have that problem with this book. Both the table of contents and the index are easy to use. It was refreshing to say the least.
The book not only is well organized, but it is well written. Great cartoons introduce each new part and the writing style is informative, light and often humorous. In fact, I actually found myself reading some chapters just for pleasure.
This is an invaluable reference book for the beginner and advanced beginner to the iPod and ITunes. It opens up a whole new world of opportunities to music, pictures, videos, pod casts, and audio books. Organizing all these data is also critical to really enjoying the IPod and iTunes. Part II, Managing Your Media Content, covers it all from adding, editing, and deleting to updating and backing up.
The iPod is an incredible. Part V was a real eye opener for me. I had no idea of all the extras an iPod can do. Clock, alarms, games, voice recording, contact lists, and even a hard drive are things your iPod can and will do for you. These are certainly handy features when traveling or to just reduce the amount of files and papers carried around during every day business.
One thing that was useful for me was that the iPod discharges battery power whether or not it is in use. This was very perplexing to me and I thought mine was defective. However, I come to find out with the help of this book that it is OK and normal. A relief to say the least and I have the book to thank for my peace of mind.
"iPod and iTunes for Dummies" is a must have reference book for new and beginning users of iPods. It is pertinent for both Mac and PC users and will make your iPod time much more enjoyable and productive.
