iTunes and the iTunes music store isn't just for Mac fans anymore. Anyone running Windows XP or 2000 can now cash-in on all the capabilities of this music store-jukebox. Our new version of iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual has been thoroughly updated and refreshed to reflect these changes. The iPod is the world's bestselling music player. But if you think that it's just a music player, then you must think Clark Kent is just a newspaperman. In this book, New York Times tech columnist J. D. Biersdorfer blows open the secret doors of this gleaming, chrome-and-white beauty. With humor and authority, she lays bare an astonishing collection of useful tips, tricks, and shortcuts like these: iPod as PalmPilot. The iPod can suck in your calendar, address book, to-do list, and notes from a Mac or PC, and then display them at the touch of a button. It also doubles as an alarm clock and stopwatch. iPod as hard drive. You can use your iPod to carry gigantic files from place to place. iPod as e-book. The iPod makes an excellent book reader, capable of scrolling through recipes, driving directions, and even Web pages. iPod as GameBoy.The iPod's games are perfect time-killers for waiting rooms, bus rides, and the Department of Motor Vehicles. iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual is much more than it seems, too. It not only covers all iPod models for both Mac and Windows, including the super-slim 2003 series, it's also the ultimate guide to iTunes and the new iTunes Music Store. No matter what kind of music moves you, iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual will help you get much more out of your iPod--and much more into it.
