MacVoices #24300: Kirk McElhearn Takes Control of Apple Media Apps (1)

The latest Take Control Books release comes from Kirk McElhearn. Take Control of Apple Media Apps covers Apple Music and Podcasts as well as The Apple TV and Books apps. Kirk talks about the evolution of this book and how an understanding of their similarities and the near-complete feature parity can help you get more out of them. Usability, rather than continuous feature introduction, has resulted in mature (in a good way) apps that let you use their content intuitively. The Apple TV app gets special attention in the discussion. (Part 1)

MacVoices is supported by the 2024 MacVoices Holiday Gift Guide. Great gift ideas to give and get from your MacVoices friends. Look for the shows in the feeds and on our YouTube and Vimeo channels, and check out the master list on the link above.
