iPod steadily evolved through five generations and today ranges from a screenless 512-megabyte version that can hold plenty of songs for your gym routine to a 80-gigabyte multimedia jukebox that can spin out an entire season of "Desperate Housewives," along with thousands of color photos and all that music.
An iPod can be much more than most people realize. That's where iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual comes in.This book is a long-running bestseller, now in its fourth edition. What makes it so popular is the wealth of useful information it brings to anyone who breaks open iPod's distinctive packaging-especially since Apple doesn't supply a manual of its own.
Once again, we've updated this guide to fully explain the ins and outs of iPod, including the nano, the shuffle, and all the latest features and uses, such as:
Going beyond the music to use iPod as an external drive, an eBook, a personal organizer, a GameBoy, and a slide projector
