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!

Alternative to "The Missing Manual", November 5, 2007

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, September 8, 2007

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, August 29, 2007

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 is great for the novice user. Lots of good info and easier to use than the Apple website I think. If you are looking for a lot of inside info and hot tips it's not here.
