Apple has sold more than ten million iPods since their debut in November 2001, and downloads at iTunes have now topped a quarter of a billion songs, with 1.25 million songs currently downloaded every day. This book shows new iPod users how to get started with an iPod and iTunes, covering everything from downloading songs and creating playlists to burning CDs, fine-tuning sound, maintaining battery life, and synchronizing information. Now revised and expanded to cover the new iPod Shuffle, recent updates to the iPod mini and iPod photo, podcasting, the newest version of iTunes, and cool new third-party accessories. Our book releases just in time for the 2005 holiday season, when iPod sales peak (Apple sold 4.6 million iPods during the final three months of 2004, a 525 percent increase over the previous year).
