Get the scoop on iTunes 9 and all of the newest iPods with this bestselling Missing Manual. Apple's gotten the world hooked on portable music, pictures, and videos with its amazing entertainment center, but one thing they haven't delivered is an easy guide for getting the most from it. iPod: The Missing Manual gives you a no-nonsense view of the latest iPod line, with expert guidance on the most useful things your iPod can do. Get a Birds-Eye Look at Your Collection With Grid View Although it’s been around since iTunes 8, Grid View is still probably the most eye-catching way to see your media library. It’s like laying out all your albums on the living room floor—great for seeing everything you’ve got, without the hassle of having to pick it all back up. More picturesque than List View and not quite as moving as Cover Flow, Grid View is the middle road to discovering (or rediscovering) what’s in your iTunes library.
iTunes offers four ways to see your collection: grouped by album, artist, genre, or composer. Click each named tab to see the music sorted by that category. (If you don’t see the tabs, choose View-->Grid View-->Show Header.) Here’s how to work the Grid:
1) Hover your mouse over any tile on the grid to get a clickable Play icon that lets you start listening to the music.
2) Double-click a cover in Albums view to display both the cover and song titles in List View.
3) If you have multiple albums under the Artists, Genres, or Composers tabs, hover your mouse over each tile to rotate through the album covers. If you want to represent the group using a particular album cover or piece of art, right-click it and choose Set Default Grid Artwork. You can do the opposite for art you don’t want to see: right-click it and choose Clear Default Grid Artwork.
4) Adjust the size of the covers and art by dragging the slider at the top of the window.
One thing about Grid View, though: It’s pretty darn depressing unless you have artwork on just about everything in your collection. (If you don’t, and you see far too many generic musical-note icons there, Chapter 5 shows you how to art things up.) And if you hate Grid View, don’t use it—iTunes just defaults to whatever view you were using the last time you quit the program.

I had never touched any iPod before getting a Touch 32G model. Naturally I didn't know beans about using one. The instructions one receives are perfunctory to say the least. This book helped me greatly to get started. I haven't mastered it by any means but am getting there.

iPod, The Missing Manual (2010 Eighth Edition) by J.D. Biersdorfer with David Pogue is another success story in the Missing Manual series published by O'Reilly Media, Inc.
The book attempts to cover most iPods since 2007 through 2009. The notable exception here are the iPhone and the new iPad. Biersdorfer and Pogue cover in great detail and clarity almost any question an iPod owner might have. Topics are nicely broken down by how most people would experience using the iPod. The blending of the iPod with iTunes is admirably covered. The book also offers a balanced approach for both Windows and Macintosh users. As steps to complete activities with each iPod differ the authors further offer step by step guides from older video iPods to the present iPod Touch.
The effort is to make available almost all information needed for the beginning user. This, of course, limits some of the information more experienced users might desire. But the iPods have developed so many features in their few shorts years that coverage of advanced topics might call for another work. Efforts to cover all topics would yield on unbalanced volume too large to fully understand and usability would suffer greatly.
So if you think you have pretty well conquered your iPod you will be greatly surprised on the many features built into each machine that iPod, The Missing Manual, will reveal.

Much easier than plowing throught the Apple manuals. Clear cut, easy to use and coverss a wide variety of questions.
I love my iPods and iPod touch and Nano- but being older (58), I am not tchbnology savy and don't really want to have to be- but I want to use my stuff easily and be able to find answres in a more concise centralized place- and this book is GREAT for that!

This is indeed the Missing Manual which should have come with the iPod. Great job in writing this one.

This book is what it says. It is the Missing Manual. It is very clear with its layout. I needed to find out how to move my ITunes from my hard drive to an externial drive. It worked just like the book said to do it.
