NOW THAT YOU’VE GOT some songs on your iPod, you’re ready to listen to them. Plug your headphones into the headphone jack and press the Sleep/ Wake button on your Touch or Nano—or any button on the front of the Classic—to turn it on.
The Touch’s screen is full of icons, but when it comes time to crank up the tunes, here’s what you do:
Tap the Music icon in the bottom-left corner of the Home screen.
You see five tappable buttons at the bottom of the screen. These let you see your music sorted by playlist, artist, song, or album. The More button at the end lets you sort by composer, genre, and other categories.
Tap the Songs button and then scroll (by flicking your finger) down to the song you want to play. You can also hold down the alphabet bar on the right and then drag your finger slowly to better target the scroll. Tap a song’s title to hear it play. (Apple, never missing an opportunity to nibble on your credit card, has pinned a Store button in the upper-right corner in case you can’t find any songs you want to hear at the moment.)
