Info

To view some of the most useful secondary lists, tap the fifth and final icon, labeled More. The More screen appears, listing a bunch of other ways to view your collection: • Albums. That’s right, it’s a list of all the CDs from which your music collection is derived, complete with miniature pictures of the album art. Tap an album’s name to see a list of songs that came from it; tap a song to start playing it. • Audiobooks. One of the great pricey joys of life is listening to digital “books on tape” that you’ve bought from Audible.com (see page 237). They show up in this list. (Audio books you’ve ripped from CDs don’t show up here—only ones you’ve downloaded from Audible.) In a hurry? You can speed up the playback without making the narrator sound like a chipmunk—or slow the narrator down if he’s talking too fast. Page 318 has the details. Compilations. • A compilation is one of those albums that’s been put together from many different performers. You know: “Zither Hits of 78 Chapter 4
the 1600s,” “Kazoo Classics,” and so on. You’re supposed to turn on the Compilation checkbox manually, in iTunes, to identify songs that belong together in this way. Once you’ve done that, all songs that belong to compilations you’ve created show up in this list. • Composers. Here’s your whole music collection sorted by composer—a crumb that the iPod/iPhone creators have thrown to classical-music fans. • Genres. Tap this item to sort your collection by musical genre (that is, style): Pop, Rock, World, Podcast, Gospel, or whatever. • Podcasts. Here are all your podcasts (page 236), listed by creator. A blue dot indicates that you haven’t yet listened to some of the podcasts by a certain podcaster. Similarly, if you tap a podcast’s name to drill down, you’ll see the individual episodes, once again marked by blue “you haven’t heard me yet” dots. Customizing List Land Now you know how to sort your collection by every conceivable criterion. But what if you’re a huge podcast nut? Are you really expected to open up the More screen (shown on the facing page) every time you want to see your list of podcasts? Or what if you frequently want access to your audiobooks or composer list? Fortunately, you can add the icons of these lists to the bottom of the main iPod screen, where the four starter categories now appear (Playlists, Artists, Songs, Videos). That is, you can replace or rearrange the icons that show up here, so that the lists you use most frequently are easier to open. To renovate the four starter icons, tap More and then Edit (upper-left corner). You arrive at the Configure screen. Here’s the complete list of music-and-video sorting lists: Albums, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Genres, Composers, Compilations, Playlists, Artists, Songs, and Videos. To replace one of the four starter icons at the bottom, use a finger to drag an icon from the top half of the screen downward, directly onto the existing icon you want to replace. It lights up to show the success of your drag. When you release your finger, you’ll see that the new icon has replaced the old one. Tap Done in the upper-right corner. Music and Video 79
