Book Reviews of iPod + iTunes for Windows and Mac in a Snap (2nd Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself)
Book Review: see how iTunes competes with free music
Summary: 4 Stars
By now, the iPod is iconic. A cultural artifact that will always be associated with the era we're in. Combined with Apple's iTunes music management on a bigger computer. Tiemann goes into some length in his explanation of both items, and, more importantly, how to best use them together.
One thing that should catch your eye is that the iTunes can be run on both a Mac and a PC running a Microsoft operating system. The latter is some 20 times larger in the marketplace. So Apply acceeded to this reality by offering iTunes on it.
The book shows that iPod and iTunes can be mostly very intuitive. Though iTunes definitely has greater complexity than the iPod. Part of which is due to the music store. You should read carefully Chapter 4 on the digital rights management that's built into iTunes. Quite aside from the iTunes in itself, you get a basis for comparison with competing online music offerings, free or otherwise. Tiemann talks about how the music store at a fee of 99c per song has sold an immense number of these [400 million thus far]. Apple seems to have really hit a chord [pun intended] by finding a reasonable price point and a convenient usage that effectively competes with the free p2p music networks.
With iPod and iTunes, Apple has hit two sixes. (Or two home runs, to you Americans.)
