Great help for Ipod dummies Two weeks ago I did not even know for sure what an Ipod was and only a vague idea of what an MP3 player was. I have never owned anything made by Apple. Today I am the proud owner of an Ipod Nano and believe that much of my happiness with it is due to this book. I read up on the Ipod first before I tried using it. It got me up and running without a hitch and has plenty of information to help me get more and more sophisticated as I go!
