Because the makers of products which compete with the Apple iPod got left at the gate when the first iPod took the mp3 market by storm in 2001, they have been doing what they can ever since to point out the flaws beneath the cool exterior of the world’s favorite neckwear. With the iPod battery, they thought they had found a genuine Achilles’ heel.
But like the story of Achilles and his tragic flaw, most of what these competitors claim concerning the iPod battery is the stuff of myth. You, either as an iPod owner or wannabe owner, may be familiar with the most infamous of these claims, which attack the honesty of Apple’s claims concerning battery life. But did you know that there are things you can do, without any help from Apple, to maximize your iPod battery’s lifespan?
How To Get The Most From Your iPod battery
Have you ever accidentally hit the Play button on your iPod while reaching into your purse or pocket? It’s an easy way to start draining the iPod battery, and it’s also the reason why your iPod has a Hold feature. Hit Hold, and you iPod will remain asleep until you decide to awaken it.
Lose all the power-eating features like the sound checker, backlight, and equalizer unless you really, really need them. You never need the backlight if you’re just enjoying your music, and the equalizing and sound checking features are nice, but not essential for a good listening experience. They too will drain your battery, so why not turn them off?
You can eliminate the effects of the equalizer by going to EQ in the Settings menu and selecting Flat. While you’re there you can turn off the backlight and sound check too.
Another way to preserve you IPod battery is to give your hard drive a rest by storing only files which are less than 9MB. iPods, with the exception of the nano and shuffle models, keep your files on their hard drives, and try to maximize battery life themselves by bringing up the drive, loading your data onto a 32MB chip, and spinning the drive down again. The larger the file, the more often the drive has to return to get all of it and the more battery power is consumed.
You can adjust these settings by going to iTunes: Preferences: Advanced: Importing and choosing an encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu.
If you are one of the original iPod users, and your battery is has simply reached the end of its reasonably expected life span, you can choose a replacement with more power. And help your iPod battery along by trying to play it only when the temperature is above freezing. Lithium ion batteries, which are what the iPod uses, do their best work at room temperature. Cold weather won’t permanently harm them, but it will cause them to lose their charges more quickly.
Finally, limit yourself to one thing at a time. iPods are marvelously multi-functional little beings, but if you want your battery charge to last awhile, forego the habit of having a variety of iPod programs running simultaneously.

Ipod Speakers - Sharing The Joy
You love you little iPod, and the fun of toting all your favorite tunes around for your listening pleasure in a device the size of a playing card. You love knowing that you can turn up the volume on your iPod to your heart’s content with your headphones preventing anyone else from complaining about the sound.
But what you think would be even better is being able to forego the headphones from time to time, and use your iPod, with your customized selection of songs, like a regular CD or cassette player. Just tuck it in a corner somewhere, and have it fill a room with sound like an invisible choir. You wouldn’t have to remove your headphones every time the phone rings, or you want to have a conversation. Sounds good, but is it too good to be true?
Not any more. Thanks to the soaring success of the iPod, both Apple and some heavy-duty audio speaker manufacturers have developed iPod speakers, which will give you an alternative to the standard in-you-ear intimacy of the iPod’s headphones.
Apple’s iPod HiFi
If you can picture a center-channel speaker from a home theater system, with an iPod dock on top, you’ll have an idea of what the Apple IPod HiFi iPod speakers are all about. The Apple iPod HiFi portable, measuring 6.6 “ high by 17 “ wide X by 6.9” deep, and weighing 14.5 pounds without batteries or 16.7 pounds with six D batteries. And the Apple HiFi iPod Speaker is equipped with a remote, so you can control the music selection without having to mess with your iPod.
But if the thought of nearly seventeen pound iPod speakers does not appeal, by all means give the Altec Lansing inMotion iPod speakers a look. The inMotion iPod speakers will speak to the iPod enthusiast’s heart, weighing in at a mere fifteen ounces--yes, ounces--and measuring, when folded up, 8” wide by 5.4 inches deep and 1.2 inches thick. And don’t worry about the batteries adding a significant amount of weight; these iPod speakers will run for twenty-four hours straight on four AA batteries.
Uses For iPod Speakers
Either of these iPod speakers, or any of the several brands now available, can open your iPod use to any number of occasions, from party or outdoor outings to sharing audio books to letting you use your iPod to store and present information for school or job reports.
iPod speakers are the perfect solution to for those who are tired of keeping their great iPod listening experiences to themselves!

Ipod Video Cases - Protecting Your Investment
So, after considerable thought, you’ve plunked down $250 or $350 for your iPod video. But have you plunked down the few extra dollars that an iPod video case will cost? If you haven’t, the smartest thing you can do is to place you iPod video back in its carton, or in some other form of protection, and hustle on down to the nearest IPod accessories store.
It wasn’t much time at all after the first iPod videos saw the light of day that their excited owners were screaming in justifiable anguish at the ease with which the LCD screens were becoming marred with scratches. So Apple, in response, began to include a cloth iPod video case with each purchase. But because one of the big selling points of the iPod is its lack of bulk, these cloth covers were less than substantial, and even worse, they partially covered the iPod video’s screen.
So Apple tried again with iPod video cases which were dubbed “socks”, because of their stretchy yarn-like material in a variety of designer colors, and for their upscale customers, Italian leather iPod video cases The socks and leather cases, however, failed to address the issue of blocked screens and control wheels, and while both remain available, it did not take long for other iPod accessories manufacturers to see an opening and rush to fill it with more protective and user-friendly iPod video cases.
One of the most popular iPod video case options is the carbon fiber case which will protect the front and back of your iPod video with laser-cut form fitting sections of black carbon fiber material, joined with stainless steel screws.
Icons iPod video cases, on the other hand, let IPod users get a bit funkier with a front which can bear the likeness of many a pop culture favorite from Superman and Batman to Homer Simpson. The backs of the Iconz iPod video cases are clear plastic, so that the iPod still shines through.
Perhaps the most indestructible of all the iPod video cases is the water, dust, sand, and dirt-proof Otterbox. The Otterbox allows control wheel use through a very thin protective membrane, and the Otterbox package is available with waterproof headphones. It is ideal for beach and hiking use, but is not meant for scuba diving.
On the other hand, do you really need your iPod video to accompany you on scuba diving excursions? Otter box iPod video cases with waterproof headphones retail for around $100.

Ipod Acessories: You Get What You Pay For
There is no question that when Apple introduced the iPod in 2001, they turned the mp3 world on its ear. The iPod soon set itself apart as the definition of “cool” among mp3 users, and the introduction of each new generation of iPod has only added luster to its legend.
Where there’s success, there are sure to be imitators, and the Apple iPod has spawned not only a plethora of competing mp3 players; it has spawned a wealth--at least for their makers--of iPod accessories to compete with the authentic iPod accessories introduced by Apple. And what the imitators lack in authenticity, they attempt to compensate for with a variety of other advantages.
Advantages of Buying Unlicensed iPod Accessories
Imitation iPod accessories will cost consumers less that the real thing; their manufacturers are doing an end-run around the fees associated with using the Apple iPod brand name, and have also spared themselves the expenses of actually doing research and development on original accessories.
Many off-brand iPod accessories are function well with the iPod, and even offer features, like casing colors or wireless PC connectivity which are not available from Apple. Lower coat and unique features--what’s to complain about?
The biggest black nark on the imitation iPod accessories score card is that they simply may not be safe to use with an iPod. Apple has let its customers know which companies are selling safe iPod accessories by licensing them to do so; any iPod accessories without the backing of an Apple license are not guaranteed to operate safely with your iPod.
Risks Of Buying Unlicensed iPod Acessories
It does not matter how many bells and whistles unauthorized iPod accessories can add to your iPod; if you use them and your iPod stops functioning, you’re on your own. Using unlicensed iPod accessories automatically voids your warranty; and many unlicensed iPod accessories have been known to completely mess up an iPod after an initial honeymoon period of apparent compatibility.
Unauthorized iPod accessories are made by manufacturers who chose not to pay for the use of Apple’s technology--remember, that’s why they can sell their accessories for less than the real ones--but what you saved in purchasing off-brand technology you may eventually lose in having to replace you IPod. Doesn’t seem like much of a bargain after all!
Another caveat concerning imitation iPod accessories is that many of them were rushed to market simply to get a piece of the IPod frenzy, by companies who are not above taking the money and running. So even if you buy “guaranteed” iPod accessories, there may be no one around to honor the guarantee if they fail.

Watch Dvd Movies On Your Ipod
An iPod or other portable MP4 media player is easier to carry around than a portable DVD player, but it can't play DVDs directly. However, it's still possible to watch your favorite DVDs on your iPod. All you need to do is to convert the DVD to an iPod compatible format.
If you search the web for "video conversion software" you'll be overwhelmed by the choice of products available. Many video conversion products are general purpose tools that require you to know details of the formats you want to convert between, and baffle you with jargon about things like codecs.
Such products may be very good, but if you want to be sure that the copies you are making are optimised for your iPod, or you simply want to make the task as easy as possible, it's best to choose a dedicated DVD to iPod converter.
Using a DVD to iPod converter really is simplicity itself. You launch the software, insert the DVD in the drive, and the title screen appears in a window. Using the mouse, you select the episode or feature you want to see from the DVD menu, just as with a DVD player.
When the movie starts to play, you click a Convert button and select a folder for the output. The amount of time conversion takes depends on the power of your computer. On a modern computer it can be faster than real time, but using an older one it may actually be slower.
After conversion is complete, you are offered the option to start iTunes and upload the converted movie to your iPod. That's all there is to it! Give it a try, and you'll soon be watching your favorite movies on your iPod media player.
