How and Why to Keep Book and Movie Lists on Your iPod
April 3, 2008 5:47 pm tips
How many times have you been waiting for a train or plane without a book and looked around a bookstore knowing full well that you’ve been recommended many books, but now can’t think of a single one? Or perhaps you’ve been in a hotel and wanted to rent a movie, but can’t remember the title that your friend suggested.
Well, here’s a little tip to make those situations less frustrating: keep book and movie lists on your iPod. For many, their iPod is one of the devices that is always with them. Why not use it to store useful information?
Here’s how to keep book and movie lists easily on your iPod:
- If you haven’t already, get your address book synchronized with iTunes. Connect your iPod to iTunes. On the main page, click the ‘contacts’ tab. Then check the box labeled ‘sync address book contacts’
- In Address Book create new contacts called ‘book list’ and ‘movie list’. Add your books and movies in the ‘notes’ section.
- Sync your iPod and you’re done. To access the lists on your iPod go to ‘extras’ then ‘contacts’.
As long as you keep the lists updated (don’t forget that ubiquitous capture) you’ll never be lost in a bookstore or video shop again.
