The world's best-selling iPod book is back and fully updated with all the new iPods and features in iTunes 7. This book is so popular because it is a book of a different breed. There are basically two kinds of iPod books: (1) The "tell me all about it" kind, which includes in-depth discussions on compression algorithms, debates about analog vs. digital equalizers; and tutorials on how to export your playlist in Unicode format. (2) There's this book. It's not a "tell me all about it" book, it’s a "show me how to do it" book. Award-winning author Scott Kelby shows you step-by-step how it's all done, using the same casual, plain-English style that has made him one of the world's best-selling technology authors. You'll learn how to do only the most important, most requested, and just plain cool things you're going to want to do with your iPod—so you can start having fun with it today. Right now! Each page covers just one topic, complete with full color photos, making it easy to find just what you're looking for fast. Plus, it shows you how to get the most from the iTunes Store, how to watch movies and TV shows with your iPod, how to integrate your iPod into your car, which iPod accessories are hot, how to use photos with your iPod, and everything you need to know about the latest models in the iPod family, including the iPod Nano and the re-designed, tiny iPod Shuffle! It's all here, in the only book of its kind, and you're gonna love it!

The iPod Book: Doing Cool Stuff with the iPod and the iTunes Store, Third Edition - 2007-08-29
Reviewer Rating:
I just received a iPod for father's day. I am retired and when not shooting clay targets I read therefore I immediately downloaded two audiobooks and started reading. I also loaded my favorite song from the fiftys. Since I am a novice I purchased the iPod book and it is everything I need to learn how to use my iPod to the best advantage. I highly recommend this book.

Buy this book if you have an Ipod - 2007-09-08

I have read 5 books on the ipod and Itunes. This book is by far the best at explaining the AMAZING power of Smart Playlists. The examples show you how you can really manage music in a way you had never thought of.

In addition, though I thought I would hate the one page per subject concept in the end I admit it was excellent. Succinct, to the point and very useful.

I reference it all the time to find some of the useful tips.

A 'bible' that any iPod user (whether owners of shuffle nano or other) with any type of computer - Mac or PC - must have - 2009-03-15

If only a few iPod books were to be chosen for a general lending collection, the third updated edition of THE IPOD BOOK by Scott Kelby simply must be one of them. It focuses on the important features of all ipods and the itunes store, uses a quick visual approach to demonstrate topics, and provides tutorials on everything from exporting and organizing a playlist to handling iPod freezes. It's a 'bible' that any iPod user (whether owners of shuffle nano or other) with any type of computer - Mac or PC - must have.

Too basic for some of us who already own iPods and know how to use them.
