Moving Images from an iPod to a Computer

To move images that you have stored on the iPod to your computer, connect the iPod to the computer on which you want to place the iPod’s images. Open the DCIM folder and you’ll see subfolders that contain the images you have downloaded. Open the folder containing photos you want to work with and you’ll see those photos.
You can then open them or import them into the application you use to work with digital images. After you have moved the images from your iPod onto your computer, delete the images from the iPod to free up disk space. You can do that by using the Delete command on the iPod’s Roll Information screen or by deleting the image folders from the iPod from your computer’s desktop.

Choosing Card Reader for Your iPod

To be able to store images on an iPod, you need some way to move the images from the camera’s memory card onto the iPod’s hard drive. At press time, there is only one device that allows you to do this: the Belkin iPod Media Reader. This very versatile device enables you to read files from the most common types of memory cards used in digital cameras, including CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Secure Digital, Memory Stick, or MultiMediaCard.

Using an iPod to Store Digital Pictures

If you have ever been taking photos away from your computer and run out of room on your camera’s memory card, you’ll immediately understand why being able to store images you take on your iPod is a good thing. You can quickly upload images from your camera’s memory onto your iPod and erase the card so that you can take more pictures. When you get back to your computer, you can upload the images from the iPod to your favorite photo application.

Working with Sound You Have Recorded

There are a number of things you can do with sounds you have recorded. These include the following:

• You can play sounds you have recorded by highlighting the sound you want to hear on the Voice Memos screen and pressing the Play button. You’ll see the Now Playing screen, and the sound will play.
• You can delete sounds you have recorded by highlighting the sound you want to delete and pressing the Select button. You’ll see a screen with Play and Delete options. Select Delete and then select Delete Memo on the resulting screen. The sound you recorded will be deleted.
• The next time you connect your iPod to your computer, the sounds you recorded will be uploaded into your iTunes Library. To find them, search for the dates on which you recorded the sounds, and the sounds you recorded on those dates will be shown in the Content pane. After a recorded sound is in your Library, you can work with it just like the songs in that Library. For example, you can play the sounds, add them to playlists, put them on CD, and so on.
• You can also access the recording files you made directly by connecting the iPod to a computer and opening it as a hard drive from the desktop. Then open the Recordings folder, and you will see one WAV file for each recording stored on the iPod. You can play these WAV files or import them into an audio application for editing or other purposes.
