Tips for iTunes Users

"DREW NOAH: Okay, so that's it. That's pretty much all the iTunes basics and I hope you get an idea for all the cool stuffs you can do with iTunes. It's not just about the iTunes Store, it's about organizing your music and having it all in one place and then making these playlists and just having those and it's also--it's essential if you want an iPod as well. So, a few things that I didn't really didn't cover that are here, one thing is a 'Party Shuffle' which I can set a source as any of my playlist or all music. What it does is--it's like random but not quite. Let me see, I'll change it to 20 songs. So, you can see it's picking randomly 20 songs from my library and putting them in a shuffle kind of mode but what I can do is I can go through and select ones that I don't like and then just--I just hit the delete key to remove them and it added three more. So, I can basically set up kind of a tailored random and there's a couple of options down here; Display the most recently played songs and this many upcoming and you can refresh the whole thing just by hitting Refresh. Another thing I didn't cover is the visualizer. So, if I play a song and then I can go to view, turn on visualizer and you get this cool little thing that goes on and syncs with your music when it's playing. And if you like that, sure, go for it. If you have a slow computer, it might slow things down though so keep that in mind. And that's in view and I'll just go ahead and turn that off. And one other thing, if you ever need, ever have any other question there's a great help section in the help-'iTunes Help' so remember that. And just to reiterate some of the things that I think are really cool about iTunes is the free podcasts in the store and also the iTunes U, the free lectures from universities. There's some just great free stuff that comes with iTunes you might not think about besides just organizing the music and anything like that. So, that is iTunes in a nutshell and all the stuff that you can do with it. I hope you find these tips helpful and are able to use iTunes to its fullest ability now so thank you."
