Go for it, kill bill. They might occasionally freeze up, but you just hit the reset button and all is well, music intact. They're great little devices. My iPod was my first portabl…

Yep, get a shuffle to start out with then move up. Maybe when the next round of iPods come out, likely at the end of the year.

Well, kill bill, i got an ipod shuffle and ive had some problems, havent retunred it for another tho. It is annoying, but nothings perfect.......right?

yeah, this is starting to #### me off, everytime I connect to my PC through a usb+firefire ipod cable (using the usb side), the ipod freezes right when my computer knows it connect…

Hey Guys! I recently got my ipod with my machine literally a week ago. I added some songs, and went to the gym with it once. Now today I added a few more songs, and when I try …

I have one of the new color 20gb iPods. I bought it to upgrade from my monochrome 15gb iPod. I've had to "reboot" it several times and it is getting annoying. I loose my place w…

Bah, just had to "reset" it again. I paused to go to the restroom and when I came back I had to do a reset. Grrrrr. J.

Yeah just tried that too... nothing... Any other ideas? Lets say the battery was completely dead, and it just needed charging. Would it still show up in the computer? Would the…

How are you connecting it to your computer? To a Mac or PC? My old iPod had to charge via a wall outlet with the supplied adapter. Until I got firewire then I could charge via t…

Forgive my ignorance, but with my laptop that had USB I had to charge it with the electrical adapter. They may have changed this with the new ones. I know for sure that firewire …

How can i get stuff under the audio book part for my ipod, i cant seem to find it anywhere :/

You have audiobooks? You have to give us info to help. We don't read minds (usually).

ok sorry, ive got a 4th gen 20 gig....from the main menu of it, if i select 'music' scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list there is an 'Audioboooks' option. I have some…

Ah, ok. If you get audiobooks from iTMS and/or Audible.com, they will show in the Audiobooks portions. You may be able to edit the info on a book you ripped yourself for it to sho…

What stuff do you have that you want to get onto the iPod? These foreign language audio files, what format are they in? I know a way to get them on the AudioBooks catergory, I just…

They are mp3's

Okay. In iTunes, go to Edit > Preferences > Importing. Choose the AAC Encoding and whatever bitrate you want. Click okay. Import the .mp3 files into iTunes. Find them, righ…

My thanks also for that tip, it'll be good to find my audiobooks in...audiobooks :-) fyi: I used "A Better Finder Rename" contextual menu to do the extension renaming. Very effici…

Good tip, and great scripts, thanks for the pointer! Chas

I have some CD's that are spoken-word material and I noticed that I could rip to AAC and "make bookmarkable" using the script from Doug Adams (see below) with one problem... The p…

You can join tracks that are already in iTunes by opening them in Quicktime Player and pasting them together into a single file. You need Quicktime Pro, I think, but then it's easy…
