Looping and slowing on iPod touch without new software

[urbachd]

This is a basic but useful tool for learning riffs, and it does not require anything but what iPod touch comes with:
Start with iTunes with your iPod plugged in:
Right click the tune under your iPod music list, click on "get info"
click the "options" tab
under "media kind" click "audiobook" (strange but true!)
Now on your iPod look under audiobooks. You'll see the tune.
This will give you looping tool (click twice so that it loops that tune only)
At the top you'll see a 30 second repeat button (you have to hit it each time you want it to loop)
On the right you'll see a speed button ("1x"). click it once and it will double the speed. Click it again and it will halve the speed ("1/2x")
It's not a great tool but it works and it's free.
