Hadley Stern, author of the new "iPod & iTunes Hacks" believes that the iPod is much more than just a music player. "There is a legion of fans and hobbyists out there who--like me--want to take the iPod to places it wasn't originally designed for," he says.
"iPod & iTunes Hacks" takes you beyond the obvious with one hundred ingenious hacks that delight, entertain, and add astonishing power to the iPod and iTunes experience. "The book includes hacks written by experts in their field," explains Stern. "The 'Install Linux on Your iPod' hack was written by Bernard Leech, who developed the software. It's the same with the AppleScript iTunes chapter written by Doug Adams, who runs the definitive site on AppleScript for iTunes." In fact, contributors to the book come from the United States, Canada, Romania, England, Germany, and Japan. "There's no book out there that covers the breadth and depth of 'iPod & iTunes Hacks,'" says Stern. Hacks in the book show iPod owners how to: -Use your iPod with both Mac and PC -Turn the iPod into an FM radio station, portable stereo, or wireless jukebox -Use the iPod as a portable hard drive, and access those "hidden" music files -Turn the iPod into a universal remote control or voice recorder -Play and create games for the iPod -Read email, news, RSS feeds, books, and more on the iPod -Extend iTunes using Java or Perl If you aren't satisfied until you get under the hood and tap every iPod trick available to you, "iPod & iTunes Hacks" will show you the way.
