iPod Video Dissection

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the always-spare-parts-when-you-put-it-back-together dept.

alaswhatever writes "HowStuffWorks has gutted an iPod Video and taken pictures of everything.The article talks about exactly what's inside and explains how the touch-sensitive Click Wheel works." From the article: "Although the iPod is an Apple product, it works with both Mac and Windows machines. Since it's the top-selling media player in the United States, probably the big question is: What makes it different from any other digital media player?"

    The other thing is that id really like the iPod to have the ability to look for tunes beginning with a specific letter.

    You are in luck! You can do that very thing easily using smart playlists.

    1. Create a smart playlist for each letter you are interested in (up to 26)
    2. Sync it to your iPod
    3. Listen to your music the way you want to listen to your music.

    Any questions?
