This passage talks abut the development of the product iPod, and gives us a guide about how to create audio content for the ipod. I hope this can give you a more impression about this product. The iPod is the undisputed king of the portable media player market. With almost 50 million units sold worldwide, the iPod has a 90% market share in the hard disk-based media players. Whether it's the snack-sized iPod Shuffle, the gourmet iPod Nano, or the super-sized iPod video, there is a flavor to satisfy every customer. This passage is talking about how to generate audio or video content for the iPod. Most people like consuming their media while traveling from one place to another . Keeping the media very short for a quick car ride or a bite-size snippet in between phone calls is just as important as making it full length with extras and deleted scenes for the long subway ride home.
The leader in serving up media for the iPod is iTunes. With cross-platform compatibility, this restaurant for the iPod serves up a variety of free and paid content that can satisfy even the most discriminating palate. If you want to create content for the iPod, the following tools are indispensable. 1 Mac mini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo 1 version of iLife 6 w/GarageBand 3.0.2, iTunes 6.0.4, and iMovie HD 6.0.2 Audio Creating audio for the iPod is very similar to the process for other online delivery methods and even uses similar file formats. The gold standard for audio outside of iTunes is the .mp3 file, iPod can handle these audio formats: WAV, M4A/AAC, Protected AAC, AIFF, Audible audiobook, and Apple Lossless audio. If there are some audio files that are not supported by iPod, don't worry, you need to convert them to the right file formats at first . As far as I know, Imtoo Audio Encoder is good at converting between all popular audio formats, such as MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, FALC, OGG, APE, MP4, M4A, MP2, VQF etc. You can have a try. Once you have your file you will want to open it in iTunes and select File-->Get Info, which will bring up all the information housed in the file. Select the Info tab and enter or review your file information. Name of Track, Author, Date, Genre, and a host of other information will let you optimize your file for iPod playback. Select the Artwork tab and you can place a photo or image that will be attached to your file and will be displayed on a Nano, Photo, or iPod video while the track is playing. The AAC format also adds another tasty feature for audio content on an iPod. Creating a podcast or audio file with embedded photos and web links is as easy as pie. Using GarageBand, open a new podcast file. Record your audio content into the voice tracks, and select a few loops for your intro and outro music. Then comes the fun part. Select the podcast track, and the editor window will open with a place for the main photo and an area to add new markers. Select a place during the piece that you want to highlight and press the Add Marker button in the editor. Drag a photo from your iPhoto collection on the right into the new marker, add a name for this area, link title and URL, and then you're in business.

I'm just copying this in a different color so I can read it because my eyes are tired from reading and staring at this computer monitor. Thank You.

Well, technology races on. I'm still a bit worried for sound quality with those MP3 files. I'm slightly releived that AAC is available. A good headphone amp really helps out the iPod, especially when there are multiple people listening (as on a bus).
