The iPod & iTunes Pocket Guide, Second Edition

My guess is that you wouldn’t be reading these

words if an iPod weren’t already part of your life—

or soon to be part of your life. Congratulations.

You’ve chosen to ally yourself with the world’s

most popular and—in my humble opinion—fi nest

portable music player.

Oh, sure, there have been pretenders to the throne—

countless “iPod killers” that, on closer examination,

proved to be nothing more than less-capable and

less-stylish wannabes. Despite multiple attempts

to diminish its dominance, the iPod remains It—

the music player to own.
