  1. iTunes iPods Podcasting By: Priscilla Fox, Mitch Lupkes, Anthony Wynja

  2. What is iTunes? • Apple's iTunes software is used to transfer music to the devices. As a jukebox application, iTunes stores a music library on the user's computer and can play, burn and rip music from a CD. It can also transfer photos, videos, games, and calendars to iPod models supporting those features. Apple focused its development on the iPod's unique user interface and its ease of use, rather than on technical capability.

  3. Features of iTunes • Users can organize their music into playlists within one or more libraries, edit file information, record CompactDiscs, copy files to a digital audio player, purchase music and videos through its built-in music store, download free podcasts, back up songs onto a CD or DVD, run a visualizer to display graphical effects in time to the music, and encode music into a number of different audio formats. There is also a large selection of free internet radio stations to listen to.

  4. Playlists • Playlists can be played randomly or sequentially. The "randomness" of the shuffle algorithm can be partial for or against playing multiple tracks from the same album or artists in sequence (a feature introduced in iTunes 5.0). • Party Shuffle can also be partial towards selecting tracks with a higher star rating. With this partiality enabled, each star rating increases the preference for that particular song about 4% over that of a one-star-less rated song. Unrated songs are the least likely to be played. Inter-star ratings are stored by iTunes, but only affect this feature in the range of zero to one star.

  6. iPod • A brand of portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc. and launched on October 23, 2001. As of 2008, the current product line-up includes the hard drive-basediPod classic, the touch screen iPod touch, the video-capable iPod Nano and the screen less iPod shuffle. Former products include the compact iPod mini and the spin-off iPod photo (since re-integrated into the main iPod classic line).

  7. How iPod’s Work • iPod classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other models use flashmemory to enable their smaller size (the discontinued mini used a Micro drive miniature hard drive). As with many other digital music players, iPods, excluding the iPod touch, can also serve as external data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model.

  8. About iPod • As of September 2007, the iPod had sold over 110 million units worldwide making it the best-selling digital audio player series in history. • As of 2007, 22 million American adults, or about 11 percent of the U.S. population, owns iPods or other MP3 players. • 1 in 5 under the age of 30 own an iPod or MP3 player.

  9. iPod Classic • With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move.
