Secrets of the iPod (4th Edition) Overview
You've seen it. You've coveted it. And now that you can access the revolutionary iTunes Music Store from your Windows machine, you simply must have it! We're talking, of course, about the world's most popular music player: Apple's magical iPod. Here to unlock all of its secrets--for both Windows and Mac users--is a fun, practical, thoroughly updated volume from popular Mac columnist and author Christopher Breen. Ten-second album downloads, enough storage space for more than 7,500 songs; a slim, super lightweight design; a reengineered, all-touch interface; customizable menus; on the--go play lists; support for more (and better) audio formats; wired remote control; an elegant and convenient charging and syncing dock; and a trio of fun games are just some of the new iPod features covered here. You'll also find new information on setting up the Windows version of iTunes and using it to buy songs from the iTunes Music Store, hints for accessorizing and protecting your iPod, tips for maximizing its storage capabilities, and troubleshooting advice for when it refuses to cooperate.

Everyone loves the iPod (though for a lot of us it's a fairly abstract love, given the gizmo's sticker price). In Secrets of the iPod, Christopher Breen--you may know him from TechTV--does a brain-dump on the latest version of the iPod. His coverage is complete, easy to read, and clearly reflects the personal experience of a man who likes to be able to listen to Monkees tunes wherever he goes. You're sure to learn a lot about your iPod--or deepen your wish to have one--by reading this book.
It's possible to criticize this book for explaining the obvious: No one really needs a tutorial on how to download music from the iTunes store, which was carefully set up to be easy to figure out. On the other hand, such documentation--which may be needed for the sake of completeness--takes up little space next to the many pages devoted to relatively obscure features. Readers get the complete run-down on using their portable music players as spare hard disks, and as contact-management utilities. There's also lots of coverage of third-party hardware and software that's sprung up to unlock additional iPod capabilities. --David Wall
Topics covered: How to use the Apple iPod, iTunes, the iTunes Music Store, and the various hacks that have grown up around the iPod. There's good coverage on hooking the iPod to a Microsoft Windows machine, and some troubleshooting tricks.
