Video Transcript

"Hey it is Rokosz, your Digital Lifestyle Expert here, with information on how to use that new iPod of yours. Come with me let me show you how it is done. First thing you want to do is turn it on and hit the menu button, so you get all the way the menu button is right there at the top keep clicking that all the way to the back, and you will know you are at the back because or at the front rather of your menus because you will see music, videos, photos, podcasts, well and at the point you can just move your finger just by lightly touching the click wheel there and you can see it toggling up and down and moving though it. We are going to show you how to use the music function 'cause it is the most popular. But basically once your indicator here is hovering over what you want to do in this case music we are going to hit the center button to accept it, now we have some more choices. We have got the cover flow or the art, playlists, albums, compilations, songs we are going to fins a song here and again here it is songs I am going to press the center button here. Click. And we are moving on. Now all I have to do is choose the song I want, center center button rather again and we are starting to rock out to it. To go backwards or to go backwards for anything you just hit menu. Now when you are listening to the song you are going to notice the volume thing here and the song will continue to play as you backwards during the lists, so that becomes that becomes nice. And if you want to stop it then just go the music there and, just click pause or stop. So here we are and we are going to pause that up. And go back to the menu. Let me show you and a couple other different things pretty much the technique is the same whatever you want to do if you go back over to videos and click the videos, choose what you want to do whether it be rentals, TV shows, music videos, movies, hit the center button to accept and you are ready to go. When you are listening to music I will give you some hints and tips for that there. On the movie you are going to notice some of the indicators right there on the click wheel, that is when you press and actually click not just move your finger around. And you can see the universal sign for forward and reverse or fast forward and reverse, and by hitting it gently you are going to see the indicator and it move, the longer you hold it down the bigger the jumps get if you really lay into it then you will stop moving from just seconds to minutes at a time, the bottom is the play and pause if you are already in that situation there, I like to think of that as play and un-pause because truly when you click on the song that you are looking for and hit the center button that actually acts as the player, an interesting way of thinking. And so these are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools. But remember the basics of the iPod are just move the click wheel to over what you are looking for, hit the center button to accept it, and you are ready to go, just keep moving down the list and find what you need. Believe it or not the user interface is exactly what made the iPod the famous piece of equipment that it is, it is easy to use. Just keep hitting menu to go back tot he main menu, the starting all of it and then you can find your way easily through the break down menus.
