I had my iPod for about six months before I picked up this little guide. Although I was an experienced user, I found that this guide filled in the gaps of my knowledge for both the capacities of the iPod and iTunes.

The initial bit about buying and using both may be of some help to newbies, but I combed through the rest of the book and found wonderful tips on tweaking the sound of files, obtaining music online not just from the iTunes store, but at other Mac friendly sites, using the iPod as a hard drive and organizer as well as the extras, and help & maintenance chapters.

The only problem I had with this book is that a few of the websites cited were dead links and no longer available. Hopefully, the authors will correct that in their upcoming second volume that will be released in October 2005. Other than that, the book is a neat and compact reference that is comprehensive and readable. I would recommend it to newbies and iPod and iTunes aficionados alike.
