 still the same & simply useless June 8, 2008
i said this before and am saying it again: this book is a waste of paper - let alone the energy it took to be produced.
the content may serve the absolute beginner for maybe a few weeks - anyone searching for true information - for instance on such simple questions as how to authorize an ipod on several computers - is left in the dark. on top of that, 1/4th of the book is filled with additional purchase suggestions ('toys for your ipod'). not surprisingly, most of the index is also taken up by this backhanded advertising.
unless you are looking for only the most basic information, save your money and go for another - any other! - guide. this book will become a dustcollector in no time; instead, the internet turned out to be a much better source...
simply useless + backhanded advertising March 15, 2007
i am sorry to say that this turned out to be a completely useless purchase, containing very limited information.

this book is a waste of paper - let alone the energy it took to be produced.
 a lifestyle zeitgest June 13, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The iPod is deceptively simple. It is true that when fully configured with your music tests, it is quite easy to use. But a lot of this operational simplicity is due to complexity being pushed off onto a Mac or PC. A large part of the book addresses the installation and usage of that software, in its interaction with your iPod. Which also includes the iTunes. The book's CD has a copy of the code. But the author correctly suggests that you consider downloading the newest version from Apple directly.
The book has an amusing chapter on toys for the iPod. Basically, these are often fashion accessories. None are essential, but the iPod has tapped into a lifestyle zeitgeist echoed by the chapter. Like a MarWare SportSuit Safari case for the iPod. That looks like a mutant tribble.
 Far inferior to the Rough Guide to iPods & iTunes. March 10, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The iPod and iTunes Starter Kit by Tim Robertson is quite disappointing. While it is very long, it is far from exhaustive because of the superficial level its coverage of many important topics. The Rough Guide to iPods & iTunes is about a third of the price ($8.09 versus $23.09), but its treatment of such matters as compression codecs (MP3, AAC,and the like) is lucid, informative, and quite easy for a non-expert to follow. By contrast, Robertson's book is trite and formulaic in the way that many of the less helpful Dummies and Idiots books are. Bottom line: Don't waste your money - buy the excellent Rough Guide.
 An ideal 432-page instructional reference February 9, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The revolution in the production of music for the individual consumer began with the invention of the phonograph. Now an equally revolutionary advance has been made with the invention of the wildly popular iPod technology. iPod And iTunes Starter Kit by Brad Miser is an ideal 432-page instructional reference which provides all of the information that non-specialist general reader music fans need to get the most out these amazing digital music tools. Ranging from the basics of listening to audio CDs, to advanced customizing of music on an iPod, the iPod And iTunes Starter Kit will comprehensively equip both Windows and Mac users who have never explored digital audio to master digital music by using these tools. If you have an iPod, then you need to read Brad Miser's iPod And iTunes Starter Kit!
