The BIG Book of iTunes [Free PDF Download]

Mar. 10th, 2009 By Aibek

Last week MakeUseOf released The Idiot’s Ultimate Guide To Building Your Own PC. A week before that there was A Laptop Buying Guide for 2009. And now again MakeUseOf brings you something you won’t find elsewhere on the web. Enter The BIG Book of iTunes. 50+ pages of great iTunes tips and tricks along with illustrative screenshots, written by our very own Mac writer Jackson Chung.

iTunes is a great way to organize and manage your music and video library. It is also the most popular music player/manager around, very visually aesthetic and at the same time, simple to use. Itʼs perfect for handling large libraries containing thousands of songs.

If you are an owner of an iPhone or iPod Touch, thatʼs even more reason to use iTunes. With iTunes, you can easily sync and transfer songs, audiobooks, movies, TV series and mobile applications to your Apple device.

The iTunes book has got plenty of cool iTunes tips and tricks for you, some were published on MakeUseOf before and others were collected from different parts of web. Among other things it illustrates easy ways to

  • automatically organize and tag your music
  • add lyrics & cover art to your songs
  • share your iTunes library with others
  • create ring tones from your songs
  • access your iTunes library from other PCs and mobile devices
  • control iTunes via the iPhone or even using your hands and feet
  • use AppleScripts
  • use iTunes shortcuts

and lots more! Grab yourself a free copy below.

Spread the word!

Great job.

My favorite AppleScript for iTunes is the Evenly-Shuffled playlists, that let’s you easily make “battle of the bands” type of playlists.
