Amazon Exclusive: VIP Tips and Tricks for iPod Users iTunes Store Tip: Future Shopping Many people use Amazon's Wish List feature for tagging items they want to remember to buy at a later date--and you can do the same thing with music and videos for sale in the iTunes Store. To get started, make a new playlist in iTunes by pressing Control-N on Windows or Command-N on a Mac. Name the new playlist "Wish List" or something memorable like "My Next Paycheck." If you want to keep it extra handy (and on top of all your other playlists), add an "@" symbol to the beginning of the name so the wish list stays on top of the alphabetical pile of playlists in your iTunes window. When you browse the Store later and find a song or video you want to eventually buy, drag its 30-second preview snippet right out of the iTunes Store window and onto the new wish-list playlist you made. Those 30-second snippets will hang out there as a reminder that you want to buy the song or video; if you change your mind, select the track and hit the Delete key to remove it. But if you do want to follow through and make the purchase, you just have to click that big BUY SONG or BUY EPISODE button next to the title to get transported back into the Store to seal the deal. iPod Audio Book Tip: Adjusting the Speed of the Read The iPod is great for listening to audio books, and both Audible.com and the iTunes Store offer thousands of them for sale. But if you find a particular book's narrator is talking too slow or too fast for your personal liking, you can adjust the pace of the reading. Just go to the Settings menu on the main iPod menu screen and select Audiobooks. On the next screen, you can opt to make the playback speed slower or faster than normal. And you can do this without affecting the pitch of the voice and making it sound either like the book is being read underwater or recited by a chipmunk. If you want to adjust the playback speed while you're listening to the audio book file itself, press the iPod's center button a few times. On most models, the audio book speed controls will appear on screen after a few taps and you can change your reading speed on the fly. iTunes Tip: Grooving Out with the Visualizer If you've been working hard all day and want to take a little music break at your desk, give your eyeballs and treat and let your mind wander with the iTunes Visualizer. This swirling laser-light show is built right into iTunes itself and you can turn it on by going to the View menu and choosing "Turn On Visualizer" (or by pressing Control-T in Windows or Command-T on a Mac keyboard). With the Visualizer turned on, choreographed bursts of color accompany your music as it plays. If you want to adjust the size of the Visualizer window — or even make it take over your full computer screen — pop into the iTunes preferences box by pressing Control-comma (Windows) or Command-comma (Mac). In the Preferences box, click the Advanced tab and choose the size of your visuals from the options at the bottom of the box, then click OK. And if you want to get even deeper into the Visualizer, press the question mark keys on the computer keyboard next time you're chilling out to the light show. A hidden menu of other Visualizer configurations and commands appears on screen for you to play with.

Covers most of the items any one would need to get up and running. by JCR Ipod Manual This book, which I never had access to because my purchase came without, would have saved me a lot of headaches because I had no idea about Ipods. by Allan L. Erickson iPod: the missing manual book is helpful considering there was no manual given when I purchased the iPod touch. I use it often while I am learning to use this new toy. by Jim only for dummies I purchased this book because I was not happy with the information available on my IPos Nano but I really didn't learn much from the book. by Joyce Ann Jacobs A Must! Everyone who owns an Ipod needs this, I am much more confident with my Ipod, love it! by Susan E. Moore A handy manual to have I order this manual hoping it would provide some detail on how to use an iPod Touch, and orient me to Apple products in general (this is my first Apple product). by Matthew Sponseller ipod the missing manual Very informative. Just what a guy like me needs to get the most out of my ipod. by Thomas A. Stickney OK, but you can do better If this were the only iPod book out there, it would be OK. For some reason, they apparently tried to save money on printing by using a very light, thin text. by Book Carpenter iPOD the missing manual Very good book for the novice iPOD and itunes user. Had answers to all the questions I had regarding iPOD touch I recently bought. by L. Weidner Worth erery cent! This is for sure the book that should have come with the ipod. Why is it you can buy a cell phone for $20. by M. S. Schulz |
