It is immediately evident that iPod: The Missing Manual
is not like other Missing Manuals. The format is different with most topics covered on one or two pages, with larger print and color images. It is more attractive than most Missing Manuals that I have read.
iPod: The Missing Manual covers just about every iPod and iTunes topic in clear easy to understand language.
Contents
Chapter 1: Meet the iPod: Out of the Box and into Your Ears in 15 minutes.
Chapter 2: Bopping Around the iPod
Chapter 3: In Tune with iTunes
Chapter 4: The Power of Playlists
Chapter 5: Shop the iTunes Store
Chapter 6: Videos Everywhere
Chapter 7: Picturing Your Photos on the iPod

Chapter 11: Advanced iPodding
There is a lot to like about this book. Most people will probably easily find most of what they want to know from iPod: The Missing Manual
.
However, I do not consider iPod: The Missing Manual
as a manual. It does not provide the depth of coverage found in the other Missing Manuals that I have read. As an example, there is one page on "Changing Import Songs for Better Quality." There is no coverage of the relative advantages of AAC and MP3, and the only advice on quality is "The higher the number of bits listed, the greater the amount of data contained in the file, and the better the sound quality in your ears."
