The iPod is the undisputed king of the portable media player market.

With almost 50 million units sold worldwide, the iPod has a 90% market share in the hard disk-based media players.

Whether it¡¯s the snack-sized iPod Shuffle, the gourmet iPod Nano, or the super-sized iPod video, there is a flavor to satisfy every customer.

This passage is talking about how to generate audio or video content for the iPod.

Most people like consuming their media while traveling from one place to another .

Keeping the media very short for a quick car ride or a bite-size snippet in between phone calls is just as important as making it full length with extras and deleted scenes for the long subway ride home

The leader in serving up media for the iPod is iTunes.

With cross-platform compatibility, this restaurant for the iPod serves up a variety of free and paid content that can satisfy even the most discriminating palate.

If you want to create content for the iPod, the following tools are indispensable.

1 Mac mini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo
1 version of iLife 6 w/GarageBand 3.0.2, iTunes 6.0.4, and iMovie HD 6.0.2

Audio
Creating audio for the iPod is very similar to the process for other online delivery methods and even uses similar file formats.

The gold standard for audio outside of iTunes is the .mp3 file, iPod can handle these audio formats: WAV, M4A/AAC, Protected AAC, AIFF, Audible audiobook, and Apple Lossless audio.

If there are some audio files that are not supported by iPod, don¡¯t worry, you need to convert them to the right file formats at first . As far as I know, Xilisoft Audio Converter is good at converting between all popular audio formats, such as MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, FALC, OGG, APE, MP4, M4A, MP2, VQF etc.. You can have a try.

continue:
Once you have your file you will want to open it in iTunes and select File — >Get Info, which will bring up all the information housed in the file.

Select the Info tab and enter or review your file information. Name of Track, Author, Date, Genre, and a host of other information will let you optimize your file for iPod playback. Select the Artwork tab and you can place a photo or image that will be attached to your file and will be displayed on a Nano, Photo, or iPod video while the track is playing.


mp4converter.net/ipod-guide-you-need.html" rel="nofollow" target="_new">The AAC format also adds another tasty feature for audio content on an iPod. Creating a podcast or audio file with embedded photos and web links is as easy as pie.

Using GarageBand, open a new podcast file. Record your audio content into the voice tracks, and select a few loops for your intro and outro music.

Then comes the fun part. Select the podcast track, and the editor window will open with a place for the main photo and an area to add new markers. Select a place during the piece that you want to highlight and press the Add Marker button in the editor.

Drag a photo from your iPhoto collection on the right into the new marker, add a name for this area, link title and URL, and then you¡¯re in business.

Here, I would like to say something about Apple 60 GB iPod video Black

The 5th Generation iPod 60 GB from Apple is the perfect video and music player for anyone with enough movies or music to fill it up. So, first things first, I recommend searching for a smaller-sized model if you don’t have a very large collection.

I have owned a 5th gen 60 GB iPod video for almost a year now and felt that it was a good time to write a review about it. I’ve read reviews from people who have complained about their iPod breaking and freezing, and I have my own input regarding this.

One of the abilities of the iPod is to play videos.

The iPod will only play .mp4, .m4v, and .mov format videos, so be careful! iTunes DOES take care of converting videos for use with an iPod, but I’m not reviewing iTunes, mp4converter.net/ipod-video-converter-mac.html" rel="nofollow" target="_new"> so if u want to do some converting work on iPod , I suggest iPod Video Converter, which enables you converting all popular audio and video files, such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, MP3, to the formats supported by iPod

Assuming you’ve converted your home movies for the iPod and have downloaded the latest season of your favorite TV show, it’s now time to put it onto your iPod.

Once you’ve got it sitting nicely on the 60 GB hard drive, you can access it in the menus and begin to watch.

On a fully charged iPod, video playback is noted at up to 3 hours, and I’ve found no problem with this, though over time that length might decrease just like most electronic products over time.

Music has always been the main focus for the iPods ever since day one. My music has always worked GREAT on my iPod and I’ve never been failed.

Many people have complained about the lack of an option to use alternative audio formats with the iPod. Unless you’re looking to put all .wma files on your iPod, you won’t be disappointed. And I know many people like to mp4converter.net/dvd-to-ipod-converter-win.html" rel="nofollow" target="_new"> do some conversion from DVD into iPod, so here is a good tool DVD to iPod Converter for Windows . Support output of new iPod 30GB and 80GB with resolution of 640 by 480 pixels for MPEG-4 Video.

The iPod works well with most usual audio formats. Just as long as you keep your non-iTunes Store music as mp3 audio you shouldn’t have any problems.

Audio quality is great for great quality audio. It all depends on the kpbs.

160 kbps is nearly indistinguishable from CD quality for most people. 192 kbps is a much larger file but is just the safer route.

iTunes Store music sounds great at the quality they have set for all the music.

I have not played any of the iTunes Store games that are available for the iPod but have heard good things about them all.

I don’t think this is a relevant feature for the 5th generation iPod at this point seeing as how there are so few games available for purchase.

No outside source games are compatible with the iPod to my knowledge.


Overall the iPod is an extremely fun player to use and can be very easy to use, given that you actually read the instructions.

Make sure that your bases are covered and you will be fine.
