Using iPod, MP3 & WMA with Your PC
iPod and MP3 portable music players have revolutionised the way we enjoy listening to music. They offer the ability to store thousands of your favourite music tracks in a tiny device that can be used anywhere.
However, unlike conventional types of portable players which use pre-recorded discs or tapes, iPods and MP3s require music in a form
which has to be uploaded from a computer. To do this may seem a simple and straight forward task but it could prove to be problematic if you do not know exactly what you are doing. However, as with most new technology, once you know how it is easy!
This book provides clear and practical information to make using your iPod and MP3 easier and more enjoyable and, also, will help you get the most out of your machine.
Amongst the many useful topics covered are:
* Methods of downloading free and legal music and uploading it on to your player.
* How to download music from sites that charge for the service and how to upload it on to your player.
* The difference between the various music formats, compatibility issues and how to convert from one format to another.
* How to rip music from CDs and upload it on to your player.
* Producing conventional audio CDs by burning tracks of music you have downloaded.
* Using media player programs such as iTunes and Microsoft's Windows Media Player to control, play and organise your music.
* How to rescue music from old records and cassettes which you can then enjoy on your iPod or MP3.
This book is essential for anyone who owns an iPod or MP3 player, or is contemplating buying one.
