Ithaca, NY—TidBITS Publishing Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the second edition of Take Control of iTunes 10: The FAQ, by iTunes expert and audiophile Kirk McElhearn. iTunes is free software from Apple for Mac OS X and Windows that acts as a hub for iOS devices, and stores not only digital music but also digital video, audiobooks, and ebooks.
The 173-page Take Control of iTunes 10: The FAQ, Second Edition uses a Q&A approach to help readers appreciate and understand the process of adding media to iTunes, tagging it, adding album art, and organizing it into playlists. With that setup completed, readers can enjoy their music, movies, audiobooks, and ebooks without hassles when it's time to find a particular item or do something special like sync a select subset of music to an iPod, create a party playlist, identify overlooked music, or listen to the chapters in an audiobook in order. McElhearn also explains how to use Apple's iTunes in the Cloud features, including the iTunes Match service.
Take Control of iTunes 10: The FAQ, Second Edition costs $15, and it includes coupons for $5 off Equinux's SongGenie tool for adding missing metadata and $3 off Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil wireless audio streaming software.
