Equalization
Like any good music player these days, the iPhone offers an EQ function: a
long list of presets, each of which affects your music differently by boosting
or throttling back various frequencies. One might bring out the bass to goose
up your hip-hop tunes; another might emphasize the midrange for clearer
vocals; and so on. To turn the EQ on or off, or to choose a different preset, see
page 259.
On-the-Go Playlist
During the first few years of the iPod Age, you could create playlists only in
iTunes. You couldn’t create one when you were out and about—to kill time
standing in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles, for example, or to whip
together a little music flow to impress a hot date.
Now you can.
•
Creating an On-the-Go Playlist. Open the iPod program (HomeÆiPod).
Tap Playlists. At the top of the Playlists screen, tap On-The-Go.
Now a master list of all your songs appears. Each time you see one worth
adding to your On-the-Go Playlist, tap its name (or the + button). You can
also tap one of the icons at the bottom, like Playlists, Artists, or Videos, to
find the stuff you want.
