Apple 101 Manuale Utente

Many people think that the iPod is only for music.  If you 
do, you are missing out on a big feature since the iPod is 
ideal for listening to audio books.  The iPod can provide you 
with a great audio book experience.  However, if you listen 
to a lot of audio books it can get expensive downloading 
them from the iTunes Music Store.  This is the time for you 
to find a source of free audio books.

One good source for free audio books is the public library 
where you can often find them on CD.  Audio book CDs 
can’t be played directly on your iPod.  This is where iTunes 
is so invaluable.  iTunes is known for making it possible for 
you to import CDs, keep them organized, and synced with 
your iPod.  However, there is one problem even with 
iTunes:  iTunes has been optimized for music CDs.  It is 
often hit and miss when it comes to producing audio book 
files that are easy to use on an iPod.  This is because the 
size and quality of an audio book CD file from the library 
isn’t always as good as the audio book files you get when 
you purchase your book from the iTunes Music Store.  
There are a few things that you can do to improve your 
luck when it comes to downloading audio book CDs from 
the library, or other free sources, to your iPod.
