Product Description There is no denying it: With the introduction of the iPod and iTunes, Apple changed the face of music. While the iPod and iTunes are user-friendly, figuring them out for the first time can be tricky. Plus, they can do way more than meets the eye. In this fully updated best-seller, award-winning author Scott Kelby delivers what users need to know to get up to speed fast on Apple's popular iPod digital audio players and iTunes software. Through full-color illustrations and simple step-by-step instructions, readers will learn all about the iPod touch, equipped with a multi-touch interface, 3.5-inch widescreen display, and WiFi Web browsing; the iPod nano, featuring a sleek new design, a refined interface, and a built-in accelerometer that automatically switches to Cover Flow view when rotated and goes into Shuffle mode when lightly shaken; the iPod classic; the iPod shuffle; and the new iTunes 8, which includes the breakthrough Genius feature, letting you create playlists from songs in your music library that go great together, as well as the ability to now purchase television programs in stunning high definition. Scott provides the basics of how to share music between Macs and PCs; sync iTunes-created playlists as well as iPod-created voice notes; burn large playlists to CDs; download and watch videos; and more. Best of all, Scott has peppered the guide with tons of time-saving tips and tricks that typically can only be gleaned through hard-won experience. Customer reviews Ipod book is good  by .. Robert Brown (Spokane, WA)
This book is great for those who are new to ipods. I goes far beyond the directions. I highly recommend the book for any ipod owner. I gave one to a friend who has really enjoyed it.
A waste of time  by .. Bo Johansson (Sweden)
Pointless. There's absolutely nothing in the book that can't easily be found in the on-line manual. Luckely, I borrowed it at the library. Don't waste your money on this. Kelby has written a couple of good books (and some really bad ones too), this is not one of them.
Recommended by .. LoraCorla (Buffalo, NY)
Easy-to-follow instructions and photos make learning quick and easy especially if you're new to itunes. Highly recommended for those who wish to maximize use of their ipod. Great supplement to the on-line manual.
Concise and easy to understand by .. Mitchell Ball (Hallandale, Florida)
This was better than anticipated. Easy and concise and a must read by all Ipod users.
Helpful?? Not at all... by .. Ingrid (Rapid City, SD USA)
Honestly, I did not find this book to be one bit helpful. I personally thought it all to be redundant information. It may be of use if you are COMPLETELY technologically unaware... It's really just a waste of money. Go and buy yourself some lemonade instead. =]

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! Customer reviews Alternative to "The Missing Manual" by .. 1337_d00d (KC, Missouri USA)
This is not a review, but a clarification for shoppers like me hoping for something else.
I had thought (hoped) this book would show really advanced stuff like, how to mod your ipod or change the color scheme of the menus, that sort of thing.
But it appears it is just an alternative to the book called "The Missing Manual"
I suggest you check it out before deciding on this book. Though I personally think this book is better because it goes into more advanced stuff than the other one.
Buy this book if you have an Ipod by .. gus octel (New York , NY USA)
I have read 5 books on the ipod and Itunes. This book is by far the best at explaining the AMAZING power of Smart Playlists. The examples show you how you can really manage music in a way you had never thought of.
In addition, though I thought I would hate the one page per subject concept in the end I admit it was excellent. Succinct, to the point and very useful.
I reference it all the time to find some of the useful tips.
The iPod Book: Doing Cool Stuff with the iPod and the iTunes Store, Third Edition by .. Murel N. Smith (Douglas, AZ USA)
I just received a iPod for father's day. I am retired and when not shooting clay targets I read therefore I immediately downloaded two audiobooks and started reading. I also loaded my favorite song from the fiftys. Since I am a novice I purchased the iPod book and it is everything I need to learn how to use my iPod to the best advantage. I highly recommend this book.

This book could have been more helpful if the author had kept his attempt at humor down to a dull roar and actually explain things a little more clearly. In the end, I just called itunes and figured stuff out on my own.
From novice to expert by .. Barry T. Smith (Melbourne Australia)
The iPod Book: Doing Cool Stuff with the iPod and the iTunes Music Store (2nd Edition)Having purchased quit a few Scott Kelby books and not even knowing how to turn an ipod on,I once again put my trust in Scott for my introduction into the world of ipod. True to form, Scott, along with his usual humour and plain instructional writing, I can now mix with the experts in ipod technology. A very good easy read.
Ipod by .. Marshall Metoyer (Santa Maria, Ca.)
this book was fun, i like the way that Scott writes, and i received great service.
Great starter book by .. Jim Bo (Upper New York State)
Great book, if you never had an Ipod before. Covers the basics simply and easily. If you have any basic questions, buy this book USED, get some great tips, and be ahead of the game with the tips from the book and not the cost of a new book.
For the very new iPod owner. by .. Van1 (OH)

Product Description With so many books out there on Windows Vista, what makes this one better and different is its focus. While other Vista books can regularly be 500 or more pages, this book cuts through all the technical jargon and gives you exactly what you want: the most important, most requested, and just plain coolest things about Vista that will change the way you work on your PC. Each page covers just one topic, complete with full color photos and screenshots, making it easy to find what you’re looking for fast. You’ll learn how to take advantage of Vista’s newest features in order to better manage your digital photos, secure your computer, play your music, customize your computer’s look and feel, work with video, back up your data, and much, much more. Customer reviews Any computer or general-interest library needs this easy, attractive and logical approach by .. Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Other books covering Windows Vista are unnecessarily complicated for your basic user: not so The Windows Vista Book. Each page is a color screen visual which take one topic and provides screenshots and photos for quick reference. Learn how to manage photos, play music, and customize within the Vista environment with a guide that vastly simplifies the entire process. Any computer or general-interest library needs this easy, attractive and logical approach that average, everyday computer users can quickly use.
Quick, easy explanations help transition from XP to Vista by .. Deborah (southeastern Michigan)
I admit it, I'm one of the many XP users who didn't jump to Vista when it was first announced. Stories of the interface, problems with printer compatibility, etc. made me not want to even think about changing operating systems. As a longtime PC user, having made the transition from DOS to the first Windows release years ago; I wasn't looking forward to yet another big change in how I do my work.
Reading "The Windows Vista Book" gave me reason to finally make the switch to Vista. The book has 10 short chapters, easy-to-understand explanations of individual features, and a full-color screen shot highlighting the feature on each page.
It's obvious the editor/author/publisher took care to make it simple to scan the book chapters. Each chapter has a different colored 1/2 inch border at the top of the page with the chapter title which makes it a breeze to distinguish chapters.
Want that tip on Security? Go the chapter with the purple bordered pages. How do I split clips for a movie? Go to the light green bordered pages.
I liked the book since it gave me quick overview of some of the most helpful and exciting features in Vista, without taking up a lot of my time. Chapter 1, with its list of the 10 coolest features in Vista, will get anyone moving away from XP.
The Vista photo managing features explained in Chapter 7, Getting the Most out of Your Photos, were a lifesaver for our family at a recent reunion. With a couple hundred photos shot the night before, I quickly organized, edited, and displayed a slideshow to the family the next morning.
A nice touch - tips are included throughout the chapters, at the bottom of pages, set off by a blue background box.
My only negative comment on the book - the content on each page was one big paragraph, some paragraphs with more than 15 lines. It would have been an easier read to break some of the longer paragraphs into shorter paragraphs.
only for the super non technical by .. Suz (Missouri)
I bought this book yesterday at a regular bookstore and read it really quickly, very clear and concise. And it made me feel way more comfortable about my new system that is being delivered the end of the week. But as I was talking to a friend about Vista seeming to be very intuitive from this book. He said depends on how ingrained xp is with you. I asked for an example and he said well one is add and remove programs, it is not even called that anymore. Then I realized that this book didn't even touch on the control panel, installing programs. printers and scanners. Or any possible issue you could have.
When I read the introduction they didn't even want to write they said who the book was for, and it sounded like me. I am not interested in all the high end technical stuff but I did want to know the differences in this operating system and xp.
So if this is your first operating system and you don't expect to ever install a program or a printer this book if for you.
All in all I guess it does follow thru on its doing cool things with vista but that is about all it does. This is really just a big fan page for Windows Vista.
Excellent Non-Techi Tech Book!! by .. M. Reeves (Oklahoma)
This book rocks! If you want a book that can help you get around the complexity of Windows Vista, this is it. The one-page snippets are dead on. Short-explanitory directions with great screen shots too. I feel that if you buy this book to have a relatively easy way to learn the ins and outs of Vista, you won't be dissapointed.
