Synopsis
Movie critic Roger Ebert introduces this guide as one that contains outside-the-box thinking (even the user-friendly Macintosh box) for such tasks as vinyl album-to-digital conversions. The Chicago Sun-Times' technology consultant and a fellow Macintosh geek/ musician explain how to optimize the multimedia and data features of the iLife suite: GarageBand, iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, and the iPod. The release of iLife '06 in January 2006, supplants the earlier versions, but those who continue to use '04 will still need this book. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
