A note here on accountability of legal issues. If you have
checked audio books out of the library, you have the fair
right to listen to them on your iPod. However, once you
have listened to the audio book you should delete it from
your iTunes library.
CHAPTER 9: VOICE RECORDING WITH YOUR IPOD
The iPod is often coveted for its amount of disc space, its
long battery life, and the seamless way that it integrates
with your computer. What is often overlooked, however, is
the iPods great capability as a voice recorder. You can
store many hours of 16 bit .wav files of sound on your iPod
with the simple addition of a microphone. And you don’t
need an elaborate microphone. An inexpensive piece of
hardware is all you need to add to your 3rd generation iPod
since the recording software has already been built into the
operating system of this functional digital music player.
There are many reasons why you would want to use your
iPod as a voice recorder such as recording a lecture at
school, recording your baby’s first words, capturing the
sound of that loon, or laying down some audio tracks for a
digital movie and then synching it with the video.
