How To Use an iPod

What would you say is the most popular question after "where can I buy iPod?" Would you believe it's: "how to use an iPod?" Although you can find enough techie guys who would start using a new iPod as if they were born with it, most people would still prefer a good iPod Manual. One that would explain how to use an iPod for "normal people".

It might be true that it is relatively easy to listen to music that is already on your iPod. But it is not always easy to manage your music: add new songs, delete songs that you don't like anymore, create playlists or changing some of the iPod's settings.

One of the problems is that the answer to the "how to use an iPod" question, starts with the answer: "iTunes".

My friend Jane got a new shiny ipod shuffle as a birthday present. It looked pretty simple to use, but boy, was she in for a surprise! She had no idea that in order to learn how to use an iPod, she would have to learn how to operate iTunes. She's not a big computer girl, and iTunes wasn't easy on her.

She actually told me once she thinks iTunes should merge all its menus under one title: "advanced".

But whether you find iTunes complicated or the iPod itself not easy to use, remember that it is not something that was meant to be. Don't get discouraged, or give up. You can learn how to use an iPod. There are easy ways to do it.

There is a bottom line. A lot of people come to the same conclusion: In order to understand how to use an iPod, they buy a recommended iPod manual. A well written, easy to understand and user friendly iPod manual can make a huge difference in how much you enjoy your new cool gadget.

Paul Park, a.k.a. iPod Guy, has helped many of his friends to conquer their difficulties with new gadgets. In his search to help out new iPod users, he had found this iPod manual to be very popular and helpful.
