  Book Information

With the tiny Shuffle, the Nano, the Classic, and the Touch,
Apple's gotten the world hooked on portable music, pictures,
videos -- and the iPod. One thing they haven't delivered,
though, is an easy guide for getting the most from this
sleek entertainment center. Enter iPod: The Missing Manual,
7th Edition -- a book as breathtaking, satisfying, and
reliable as its subject.

Now in a sleek, travel-friendly size, this new edition
provides a no-nonsense view of iTunes 8 and everything in
the latest iPod line, with crystal-clear explanations,
easy-to-follow color graphics, and guidance on all the
amazing things you can do, including:

Out of the box and into your ears. Find out how to install
iTunes and load music on your iPod. And get advice on buying
copy-protection free songs from stores like Amazon and
Rhapsody.
Bopping around the iPod. Learn everything from turning it on
and off to shaking your iPod Nano to shuffle your tracks.
In tune with iTunes. Choose which parts of your iTunes
library loads onto your iPod, move your sacred iTunes Folder
to a bigger hard drive, and add album covers to your
collection.
Picking playlists like a Genius. Let iTunes' new Genius
feature whip up smart playlists from your library, and
suggest songs from the iTunes Store that fit with what you
already own.
The power of the 'Pod. Download movies and TV shows and
learn how to play them on your iPod and finish viewing them
on your TV. Play photo slideshows, find cool podcasts, and
more.
Welcome to the App Store. Soup up your iPod Touch, from
upgrading to the 2.0 firmware to installing the iTunes
Store's nifty new collection of programs -- including games
that turn the Touch into a pocket 3-D arcade.

Even if you don't buy one of the new iPod models, this
Missing Manual has plenty of information on the latest
version of iTunes, the App Store and a whole lot more about
Apple's incredible device.
