How easy is it to Download Audio Books to an IPod?

IPods are very popular amongst young people who like to download the music of their favourite group so they can listen to it at any time. An I Pod is so small it can fit in someone's pocket yet it can store hundreds of tunes which can be played back later. Not only can an I Pod be used to listen to music it can also be used for listening to stories. It is so easy to download Audio Books to an IPod and have access to a story at any time of the day.

This is particularly useful for people who do a lot of travelling as listening to a story helps relieve the boredom. Audio Books are great for anyone wanting to learn a different language as listening to someone speak the translated word is a better way than just reading it. An Audio Book can be listened to through an I Pod whilst out walking, sitting on the bus, waiting in the Doctors, mowing the lawn or doing the washing up. Although most people know that Audio Books can be downloaded to an I Pod not many people realise how easy it is to do. The only things you need to download an Audio Book to an I Pod are a connector cable, ITunes software and an audio book.

First of all you need to insert the audio book disc into the computer disk drive and open ITunes. The disc will then show up in ITunes window and automatically start copying. If nothing happens click and drag the CD's icon to your ITunes window.

If this fails click the "Import" button on the ITunes window which is in the lower right corner. Repeat this sequence for any other CDs in the audio book until the whole book has been downloaded. Label all of your new files in the correct order otherwise they will play out of sequence. The next step is to click "New Playlist" which is in the Files menu and place all the audio book's files into a single playlist. Check the boxes next to each audio book file and make sure that they are in the correct order. Finally connect the IPod to the computer using the connecting cable and click the IPod symbol in the ITunes windows. Press the "Sync" button which is in the lower right hand corner of the screen. When ITunes says the Sync has finished disconnect the IPod and check that the audio book is on the hard drive. The transfer is now completed and you will be able to listen to your stories whenever you wish.

Downloading Audio Books on to an IPod has become very popular as it enables people to listen to a story anytime they want. Audio Books are a great way to relieve the boredom when doing hum drum jobs or travelling to work and back. Learning a new skill can also be made easier this way particularly for anyone learning a new language.
