Fast, effortless, simple. That’s Auto-Sync. All you need to do to keep your iPod or iPod mini filled with the newest tracks in your iTunes library is plug it in. iPod and iTunes take care of the rest.
Apple Ease Crosses Platforms
Whether you use a Windows PC or a Mac, iPod offers a superior solution. You can synchronize your music and data effortlessly, without having to tweak settings each time you transfer files between your iPod and your computer. Simply add new music to iTunes by downloading new music from the integrated iTunes Music Store or ripping a CD to MP3 or AAC. Mac owners’, can also export their GarageBand compositions to their iTunes music library.
Transfer Your Music Automatically
Once you connect your iPod or iPod mini to your Mac or PC, iTunes automatically begins to update its contents. You don’t even have to press a button. iTunes becomes aware that you’ve connected your iPod and displays it in the Source column. In fact, you can see your music and playlists at a glance. If your iTunes library exceeds the iPod’s storage capacity, you can let iTunes fill your iPod or iPod mini for you. iTunes will create a playlist that fits your style — and your iPod’s capacity. iTunes also picks up any playlists you’ve made on your iPod so you can play or edit them on your Mac or PC. For finer control over your portable collection, you can turn off Auto-Sync and select your iPod’s contents manually.
Fast Transfer Times, One Simple Connector
iPod and iPod mini transfer an entire CD in as little as ten seconds. Of course, total time varies depending on how much music you want to add to your iPod. The handy dock connector found on the bottom of iPod and iPod mini lets you connect it to your computer, recharge the battery in iPod or iPod mini, and sync files blazingly fast via FireWire 400 or USB 2.0. iPod and iPod mini come with both a FireWire and USB 2.0 cable.
The Versatile Dock
The 40GB iPod comes with a Dock that makes charging and syncing easier than ever. If you purchase a 20GB iPod or an iPod mini, you can purchase the iPod Dock as an accessory. Leave the Dock connected to your Mac or PC via FireWire or USB 2.0. Then, when you’re ready to charge or Auto-Sync, just dock your iPod, and iTunes will automatically get to work. You can also connect the Dock to a stereo system or pair of powered speakers.
