Getting the Most From Your iPod & MP3 Player
The way we listen to music has been changed forever by iPods and MP3 players. These types of player can store thousands of your favourite music tracks that can then be played and enjoyed just about anywhere and at any time.
In the past, moving to a new type of player usually meant replacing your entire library of music with recordings to
suit the new format, but now the situation is different with MP3 players and iPods.
You can, of course, download music from the Internet and upload it to your player, but it is also possible to transfer music from CDs to your PC and then upload it to the player. Once you know how, it is even possible to record and upload music from analogue sources such as LPs and compact cassettes.
This book provides clear and practical information that makes it easier and more enjoyable to use your iPod or MP3 player, and enables you to get the most out of your machine.
Amongst the many useful topics covered are:
* How to rip music from CDs and upload it to your player.
* The differences between the various music formats, and how to convert from one format to another.
* Solving compatibility issues, and changing the bit rates of files that are "too fast" for your player.
* Removing unwanted gaps between tracks and avoiding glitches in ripped music.
* Recording music from analogue sources such as cassettes and LPs, and uploading it to your iPod or MP3 player.
* "Cleaning" music from analogue sources so that tape hiss, clicks, hum and crackles are removed.
* Solving common problems with iPods and MP3 players, finding mislaid music files on a hard disc, etc.
This book is essential reading for anyone who owns an iPod or MP3 player, or is contemplating buying one and will help you get the maximum enjoyment from your machine.
