Did You Know The New iPods Can Do All Of This?

Each new model that has been introduced has shown marked improvement over the last and they have also increased in the number of sizes and colors available while simultaneously offering more storage and download capacity. The intensity of the sound experience simply must be heard to be believed. Just in case you haven't been paying attention lately, here are some of the new cool things the iPod can do.

The all new click wheel will allow you to control a variety of functions with one finger, the shuffle mode from the top of the wheel will allow you to randomize your music play and you can operate the play, stop, pause, forward, and rewind all from the click wheel.

If you want to transfer files to your computer from your portable device you can find hidden files by right clicking on iPod and then choosing tools, and then options. Once in the control panel, select view tab, click hidden files, then show hidden files which will then make all of your files viewable. Now you can move music to your computer that you have bought.

A functional stopwatch is also included with a time zone clock utility. The device also has an iTunes control at the lower part of the screen that allows you to fast-forward and rewind as well as pick your play list and add songs to your favorites. A function also exists to allow you to back up and restore which lets you move your entire library. If you have a Mac you can use the preinstalled text to speech program to transfer any document or webpage into an MP3.

You can also perform synching functions from the menu bar which will let you synch you calendars, address book, pictures and more. If you opt for the optional dock you can use it as a remote control for your iPod and listen to your tunes all over the house through your TV or stereo.

Another really cool feature that I like a lot is the audio books availability allowing you to download books from over 9,000 titles and synch them with your computer. If you are buying the unit for a child, there are even built in parental controls so that you can put limits on what podcasts and music your child is able to access. With the all new iPod there has never been an easier way to access multiple forms of entertainment from audi books to photos.

How does an iPod Work?

An iPod is a portable device that is used to play audio files of MP3 or AAC format. Released in 2001, the iPod’s of today come in a variety of shapes and sizes with varying storage capacities, right from the 512MB iPod Shuffle to the 160 GB iPod Classic! IPod’s are compatible with PCs running Windows 2000 or Windows XP and Macintosh computers running Mac OS X. here is more on how iPod’s work!

IPod’s started off as portable music players, but today they can be used to play movies, view photos, play games, store text documents, set reminders and can also be used as an alarm clock! A regular iPod uses a tiny hard disk for storage; however the iPod Shuffle uses a kind of memory known as flash memory. Unlike regular computer memory, flash memory is much faster; uses less power and does not get reset on being switched off. Content is transferred from your Computer to your iPod using a USB cable.

IPod and iTunes
The best part about the iPod is its simplicity. All iPod’s are completely integrated with iTunes. ITunes is a software created by Apple, which is used to add and remove, content from an iPod. This happens automatically without any intervention from the user. With iTunes you can "rip" music from CD’s into MP3 or AAC formats to your computer.

When your iPod is connected to your PC, iTunes automatically updates your music library, keeping track of how often you played a song and also adds new songs and play lists to your iPod. An iPod can also be used on multiple computers; however synchronization occurs only in 1 direction. You cannot transfer songs from your iPod to a computer. However, the iPod can be used as a hard-drive to transfer data over different computers but will not be able to play this data.

Supported Audio Formats
The iPod can play AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format in addition to standard MP3 audio format. Audio files in ACC format being smaller and of the same quality as compared to MP3 files, makes song management on your iPod much quicker. In addition to this, iTunes comes with a built in converter that is capable of converting most audio format to MP3 or AAC.

Skip Protection
The iPod is designed for people with an active lifestyle. It is compact and light enough to take with you wherever you go. In addition to the hard drive, the iPod has a memory cache, which is made up of solid-state memory. Therefore, it has no mechanical or moving parts and is not affected by movement of the device. The iPod offers up to 20 minutes of skip protection, so whether it’s walking or mountain climbing u can do so without skipping a beat!

Non-Music Features
Videos – The iPod can be used to play videos in MPEG-4 or H.264 codecs. Adding videos to your iPod can be a little inconvenient as the above formats are not easily available. But never fear there’s a wide range of video converters available for free on the Internet.

Audio Books – The iPod can also play Audio books very conveniently. When you have stopped listening, it keeps track of the exact point and chapter that you were on, so you can resume listening from where you left off. Most players do not come with this feature and users are left searching for the point they left off. In addition to this there is also an option to play audio books faster than normal the normal rate, which is pretty useful when there’s a lot of material.
So people that’s all that there’s to know about the working of your iPod.

Review Of Music System & ipod

Sonos Digital Music System
Review Of Sonos Digital Music System
Features and Design

The Sonos Digital Music System is a self-contained package comprised of ZP100 ZonePlayers, a two-fisted handheld controller and optional speakers. Finished in the now-familiar iPod gray and white, the ZonePlayers don’t look like traditional audio gear. The ZonePlayer’s 10.2 x 8.2 x 4.4-inch footprint is narrower than the standard 17-inch width of analog-age components. Built in is a 50-watt-per-channel amp, which contributes to most of the Zone Player’s 10-pound bulk.
The rear jack pack of each player features spring-style binding posts. That means no wrapping wire or screwing in posts. You just press and release, a refreshingly simple design. Oddly, though, while the posts on the rear of the ZP100 are red and gray to discern between left and right channels, the wire that ships with Sonos isn’t color-coded to match. That would have been a nice finishing touch, since Sonos speakers also use red and black posts.
Also on the back are a quartet of Ethernet jacks, an analog audio input for, say, an MP3 or CD player, and an audio output including subwoofer out for connection to a home theater receiver. A power cord completes the section. At least one ZonePlayer in a Sonos system has to tether to a router (the other zone controllers operate wirelessly over the mesh network), and then the others can operate wirelessly. The remaining Ethernet jacks on a Sonos ZonePlayer can be used to connect to a PC or other network storage devices.

apple iPod nano
Review of iPod Nano

I’ve been keen to test the all-new iPod Nano ever since I attend the open here in Mumbai and held one for the first time. Some of you may be conscious that I’m not chiefly fond of the iPod, but amazing about the newer crop, including the Touch, appeal to me. I still hate that most of the time I’m restricted to using iTunes, but yet I got my hands on the Nano. And let me inform you, I had quite a time!
I wholly love the new and improved design. It’s really slim with a great 2-inch, 320 x 240 pixel resolution display. Apple has made sure that it fits the profile of a ideal workout device, with dimensions of 2.75 x 2.06 x 0.26 inches and a weight of just 49.2 grams.
Even with Cover flow technology and new features and games, the product looks familiar. If you’ve seen one iPod before you’ve pretty much seen them all, eh? And so, the essential iPodness has been keep with the helm and the product comes to an end. The Hold switch is located at the bottom.
Features and Performance
Sometimes I wonder why manufacturers make audio devices with EQ presets that make negligible dissimilarity to the sound. Apple’s iPod doesn’t really need EQ presets. What I would have liked is a customizable option. Nevertheless the sound quality is enhanced than plain old ‘good’. It’s an iPod after all.
