Guru’s Guide to Play the iPod on Computer (and other iPod tricks)
Posted on 2008 under General, iPod, iPod Music |26 May
Sometimes you want to fill the room with your iPod’s music but don’t have any speakers. If there’s a computer with iTunes handy you can play your iPod on computer speakers — problem solved! Read on for quick how-to tips and tricks for living with your iPod.
Ready? Play the iPod through Computer Speakers: This sounds more complicated than it is. If you start getting confusued when you read it go to my website (link’s at bottom of this article) and look and the pictures I’ve made. You’ll be fine, I promise. In iTunes, select your iPod from left-hand side of the screen. Choose the “Summary” tab in the center of iTunes and click on the “Manually manage music and videos” checkbox. You’re ready to go: just choose a song or play list from the left-hand list for your iPod and hit the iTunes play button. Still confused? Remember, I have pictures on my website to help you out.
Who Needs an Alarm Clock Anymore? My old alarm clock lives in the bottom of my dresser drawer now. It’s been replaced by my iPod nano and a good set of speakers. My nano’s alarm clock does everything I need, and travels with me wherever I go. Here’s how to turn your nano into your alarm clock.
Navigate to the Extras menu and choose Clock > Alarm Clock. Your first step is to make sure the Alarm is toggled on. Next, choose Time and scroll to set when the alarm should ring. Now choose the Repeat menu and decide if the alarm should go off once, daily, weekdays, weekends, once a month, and so forth. Now for the bigger decision: Sound. You will set the iPod to Beep or to a Playlist. Playlist sends the sound through earphones or an external speaker — which is what I use at night. Beep uses iPod’s built-in speaker. Ok, your alarm is set up and ready. Enjoy!
Lulling to Sleep: While we’re in the extras section (and talking about sleep) check out the sleep timer. Use it to select how long you’d like the iPod to play before turning itself off automatically. If you like falling asleep to music or a little background noise this is a great feature.
Bump up the Volume: Wish you could rock out a little louder? Check out the Volume Limit option on the Settings menu. Use this option to dial your iPod’s maximum volume up or down. You can also adjust the sound style from the EQ (equalizer) menu.
