Congratulations! You’ve made it through a week of using the iPod and iTunes! As you’ve started creating your portable music collection, you may have already stumbled upon shortcuts, features and ideas that you never knew were part of Apple’s iPod technology success story. And that’s a good thing!

The more you explore your iPod, the more you’ll love it. Don’t worry about intensive reading or studying manuals right now. You’re on the path of all geniuses—discovery through hands-on action. Click a few buttons. Wander around the iTunes Store for a few hours, reacquainting yourself with music you’ve forgotten you love or maybe even try some music that’s totally outside of your normal taste range. Take your iPod with you everywhere and get used to including it in your regular routine.

Once you trial-and-error your way around a bit, you’ll know exactly where you’re proficient and comfortable, and where you want to learn more.
