Product Description
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!

About the Author
Scott Kelby is President of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and Editor-in-Chief of both Photoshop User and Layers magazines. Scott serves as training director for the Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour and is the technical chair of the largest Photoshop gathering in the industry, Photoshop World.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have!, December 17, 2006
This book has been THE thing that made me go from being unsure about my Apple 30 GB iPod video Black (5.5 Generation) to LOVING it! I wasn't planning on getting an iPod; it was given to me as a gift. I am pretty good with computers and technology in general, but I really had a hard time figuring out some of the basics with the iPod! (Oh, I know... Apple stuff is all supposed to be so "intuitive"-- well, I didn't find it to be so!)

This book is PERFECT. Every little thing you might want to figure out how to do on your iPod (or in iTunes) is laid out simply, with great pictures and screen prints so you can SEE what the author's talking about. And author Scott Kelby throws in liberal doses of humor to make it all the more enjoyable.

Best of all, each topic is just ONE PAGE LONG. Want to know how to do something? Go to that one page, read it, and you've got it! No wading through long, boring chapters of info, or dry manuals.

Topics go from the utterly basic (but necessary) "Turning Your iPod on and Off" (there is no "On/Off" button, you know!), and "Turning on the Backlight" to the more complicated "Moving Playlists Between Computers" and "Editing a Song's Start/End Points"-- the things that will really give you great enjoyment once you figure them out!

And did I mention each topic is ONLY ONE PAGE? That's the key to this great book. I highly recommend it! We keep it in a drawer right next to our computer and go back to it again and again.

One last thing: my nine-year-old has read the book from cover-to-cover, and is now quite the expert on his Apple 2 GB iPod nano AAC/MP3 Player Silver (2nd Generation)! The perfect handbook for any age, and for any technological level. (Also covers all models of iPod).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good info for people new to Pods, December 11, 2006
This book contains a lot of stuff that if you are a long time Ipod user will be a rehash. For the new to the Ipod group, or the technically challenged, it has many tutorials to help with all of the many nuances of the latest generations of Ipods.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3rd Edition iPod Book, January 9, 2007
As an ipod nut i'm always interested in getting the most out of them & the iTunes Music Store. I found this edition up to date with the current iPod models & the latest version of the ITS. I've had several iPods over the years but a lot of people are new to the whole experience. I purchased 3 copies, 1 for me & 2 for friends just learning iPoding. The book is well layed out, has wonderful graphics & concise information. The authors comments just ad to the flavor of the book. New or old anyone with an iPod will find this book useful & refer back to it constantly.
