Well, hello and welcome to another edition of the iPhone basics tutorial series here at butterscotch.com. I’m your host, Andy Walker and I’m the Executive Producer here at butterscotch.com.
Today, I’m going to show you a very key feature of the iPhone. It’s called the iPod feature. Now, we all know that the iPod is a very famous music player and video player from Apple. And the icon, of course, has iPod functionality built in.
So. I’m going to start by clicking on the iPod icon. In my case, it’s at the bottom down here. It may be up here for you or on another screen somewhere in here. So be sure to locate it, but it looks like this. I’m going to touch that and there what comes up is the list of songs on my iPod. To play something, simply—well, I can actually, this goes with the icons. First to do, so all the songs are listed under this. The artists are listed there. This icon is for videos, videos that I've downloaded from iTunes. Of course these are songs I downloaded from my iTunes using my computer. Playlists you’ve actually created from iTunes as well and the dot, dot, dot here, these are the features you can browse by by audio books compilations, those kinds of things, even podcasts. Look, there’s all the podcasts I downloaded from butterscotch.com through iTunes.
Let’s go back to songs, though. When I choose songs and you’re going to say, “I want to play this song, Adventure in Paradise from Ace of Base.” Let’s do that. Now, to control this pretty straight forward, we’ll start to play right away. I don’t know if you can hear that. So that’s playing. Now to stop it from playing, I simply going to push the pause button here. Or to play it again, I’m going to push play again. I can use the slider here to increase the volume or decrease the volume. If I want to go to the next song in the playlist, I push this button here. That’s my favorite Tears for Fears. I can go back to the song list up here, I’m going to push pause, go back, back to the song list. This is the shuffle button, it will just randomly shuffle all the songs in my list and play things one at a time. And I can go through them one at a time like that. Let’s go back here.
When I browse by artists, I can choose the artist button and I can go through all the different artists that are listed on my iPhone, the iPod function on my iPhone. And finally, of course, there is a videos button. These are videos that I’ve down loaded from my tunes and the full movies. You can get television shows. I think I have television shows in here somewhere or maybe not. But you certainly can do that and these, of course, are podcasts, video podcasts that I have downloaded from butterscotch.com through iPhone, through I should say, iTunes to my iPhone. And there you go, that’s how you play back music. Now don’t forget, of course, you have a built-in speaker here, not ideal but it can play some functionality.
And, of course, you have a headset jack there. That headset jack is designed to plug in your earphones. And that’s how to use your iPod on your iPhone and don’t forget, as this is playing, you can continue to use your iPhone simply by pushing this button here. Let’s move it up a bit right here. So notice, it’s continuing to play. I’m going to turn my microphone down and I can use my phone now. Now in some cases, if you’re going to play a game, it may turn me up the music off but some other applications like the calendar, for example, the music continues to play as you browse that kind of data. And there you go. That is your iPod on your iPhone.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. That’s another in a series of our iPhone basic tutorials on butterscotch.com. My name is Andy Walker and I'll see you next time. Don’t forget to check out other tutorials on butterscotch.com.
