Product Description

With tape decks going the way of Model T's and digital music players reaching stratospheric levels of popularity, yesterday's mix tapes have been replaced by today's burn-it-yourself CDs. However, if you're like many music buffs, sorting through a gargantuan collection of CDs to find just the right tunes to fill out the perfect playlist can be an overwhelming task. To the rescue comes this fun, music-filled guide. Editor Cliff Colby worked with more than two dozen music critics, journalists, radio programmers, DJs, and all-around music enthusiasts to come up with the perfect selection of playlists, ranging from rock, pop, folk, hip hop, punk, Latin music, and opera. Whether you need help burning the perfect mix CD for your iPod-loving friends or inspiration for your own music collection, this compendium of more than 150 essential playlists is certain to satisfy. Organized by genre (punk, blues, roots, and more) and activity (think road trips, cocktail parties, weddings, and luaus), each page includes a playlist and interesting tidbits about that list. The iPod Playlist Book is the ideal gift for the obsessive-compulsive, music-loving geek in your household.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not too much imagination at work here!, January 11, 2005
By D. Hawkins (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being an MP3 and playlist-obsessive person, I gave this book a perusal at the bookstore. There wasn't a whole lot of thought put into many of these lists. Just because a batch of songs has the word "martini" in the title, for example, doesn't make them hold together as a playlist. When you're thinking about making a playlist for the open road, the songs you pick don't need to necessarily describe the road, but should make you feel alive and free. One of the downsides to itunes is that anyone can drag and drop songs and think they've made a worthy playlist. Real playlist making takes eons of internal debate (like John Cusack's character in "High Fidelity"). There is an art to making mixes that this book generally misses out on.

1.0 out of 5 stars iMixes are more helpful, January 3, 2005
By Ryan P. Green (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you want to find diverse music for a situation, you'd be better advised to use the iTunes Music Store's iMix feature to find what other people reccomend. This book mostly groups songs by title, and not as much by style. Besides, its easier (and cheaper) to use the imixes on the books site www.peachpit.com/playlistbook. Don't buy this, and spend the money on music from the iTMS.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great stocking stuffer or gag gift, September 25, 2006
by Clif Colby

This review is short, because this book is short. The one redeeming quality of this book is there is no doubts what it is about: a book of playlists. No iPod tips or tricks, no troubleshooting guides, not even history about the songs. The playlists aren't from famous people. This is simply a cute book of sample playlists for different events such as "Songs for Crying in your Beer" or "Martini Time."

This is one of those fun little gifts you see at a checkout...like the mini book that has 6 pages and is 2 inches tall that has different ways to say I love you. This is a good stocking stuffer to elicit a smile or great book for a waiting room at a doctor's office.

The book is cute, and that's about it. Sometimes the world needs a few more smiles

Pros: Makes you smile and chuckle
Cons: Serves no useful purpose besides making you smile. Nothing particularly iPod related
