Manufacturer's Description
It's now possible to buy an iPod edition of the Video Guide to British Birds - the first in an exciting new range of birdPOD products from BirdGuides. This enables you to watch video footage, listen to sounds, view illustrations and maps and listen to commentaries explaining how to identify any bird that occurs regularly in Britain. On an iPod you can access all of this anywhere, anytime; you can take it in the field with you.
This software can be loaded onto your iPod to allow you to play the Video Guide to British Birds on your iPod (if you have an iPod that can play videos). Once loaded, you can use your iPod to view videos and listen to sound recordings and commentaries covering 260 species of British Birds - that's all except the rare vagrants. This will play on iPod Video, iPod Classic and the new iPod nano. We recommend at least 3 GB of free space.
Product Description
A complete library of bird songs and calls in your pocket, plus expert commentaries from Dave Gosney to help you identify species in your garden or in the field.
iDentify is a series of CDs preloaded with fully annotated audio files ready to upload to digital music players. If you already own an iPod or other portable player that can handle standard mp3 or mp4 formats, then all you need is an iDentify CD. If you don't yet have a player, then BirdGuides has carefully selected suitable models that are compatible with the iDentify range.
Whether you want to brush up on bird songs during your commute, or take the guide into the field to help identify those tricky warblers and flyover waders, this is the ideal product. Just follow the simple instructions which explain how to load the library of songs and calls onto your existing player. Any of the three titles will fit onto a small 256 MB player.
All the files are already carefully labelled and sorted into a menu structure that allows you to swiftly find any species when in the field. Songs, calls and commentaries can all be individually selected for each species.
As you play the tracks on your player you will see a title which tells you which bird you are listening to and, if applicable, what sort of song, call or commentary. If your player has a colour screen and can display 'album art' (e.g. latest iPod and iPod Nano) you will also see a picture of the bird while the song, call or commentary is playing.
"...this is an excellent program, done simply and done well..."
Gordon Hamlett, Birdwatch magazine
"The CD-ROM Guide to Rarer British Birds provides a goldmine of information on the country's rarest birds, with information from every rarity report and more compressed onto one disk. It is very straightforward to use and switching between species is easy..."
