A good reference for beginners and intermediate users July 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is a good book for folks with thier first iPod opened before them on up to intermediate users who already know all the basic functions. All folks in these groups will learn useful stuff about many aspects of the iPod and iTunes.

It contains some basic "hacks" and such but states most don't work with the latest iPods (as of the published date). The hacks are pretty basic things like modifying the on-screen interface and such so not really what an advanced user would be looking for.

It's not a book it is a bible for ipods! July 25, 2008
I finally got a chance to use this book. I hadn't had time to really sit and play with it. My friend called and needed me to come over and help set up Ipods for all three children. I grabbed the book thinking it may help. And yes it did. I would have been lost without it. It made things so simple and if I had a question it had the answer. I was so excited I came home and used the book to organize my ipods better. A must have for any ipod owner.

It seems to be a fair book. I didn't like the fact that it was in black and white only. I also thought it was a little outdated.

The gift that keeps on giving January 14, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

iPodpedia was a Christmas gift I bought for my brother who purchased his iPod in 2006. I bought myself an iPod 80GB Classic and my six-year-old son a iPod Shuffle for Christmas this year and was confident that my brother would share his iPod knowledge with me. Needless to say, the iPodpedia has become the CHRISTMAS GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

My brother has been reading it like a book and shares all the great tips and tidbits he has found in the well-written book by Michael Miller. I'll receive phone calls from brother so excited, "Hey, did you know that your iPod can do this?"

I'm not certain, but I may have to buy another copy just for myself. What if I can't reach my brother one day and I have a question?

Truly Everything You Need To Know About Your IPod December 17, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I purchased this book for my Dad because he is always asking me questions about his Ipod. I learned more by reading three pages from the chapter labeled secrets then all of the lookups I have done on my own. I was so impressed with the book that I purchased one for myself. If you own an Ipod or know someone that does, you must purchase this book.
