iPod Touch

If you're an iPod fan, the Touch is the ultimate dream machine. If you're apprehensive about the slight premium that comes with most Apple products, why not learn how the player fares in performance?

The music player can be activated from the lower left icon on the screen. It takes you directly to the list of songs. On the bottom bar you will see a customizable list of choices to sort songs. It helps you view the list based on songs, albums, compilations or artists. If you want to modify the bottom bar, click on 'More', drag whatever you like, and simply throw in on to the bar.

Everything is alphabetically arranged, and you will enjoy the 'flick motion' every time you need to get somewhere. With every flick the screen flows with a momentum and slows down accordingly. This is a nice alternative to the erstwhile scroll bar. You can even directly reach the artist you need by just pressing the letter on the right.

Just as in the iPhone, the Touch also features Cover Flow, which you can activate by turning the player around. This not only allows you to flip through your files but also makes the most out of the album artwork. There isn’t a better way to display album artwork. Just tap on the album cover once and it flips round to show the list of songs.
