I just got this in my e-mail. That's cool.

Hi, i was reading the apple website which states that regarding the iPOD Nano, songs over 9MB will fill the cache in 25 mins. what does this mean exactly?

hmm, not sure. I have a 3000 song library, and I don't even think a single one of my songs is more than 9MB!

agreed. interested to see what this is all about...

The only thing I can think of is a thing I read about songs above a certain size (may have been 9MB) exceeding the iPod's cache, which would cause the hard drive to spin up more an…

Just a FYI, the 60GB video iPod offers 64MB cache and 30GB offers 32MB.

Thanks for all your replies. Here is the link where I read this: http://www.apple.com/au/batteries/ipods.html The relevant section is at the end of the page. I dont know anythi…

Also Im assuming the 60GB IPOD (with the larger cache) is no good for me. I want a flash drive (which I understand I need if I want to use it during physical activity such as joggi…

Ok so its not applicable to IPOD Nano's. I assume then, its a problem applicable to ALL portable media players that use hard drives?

that may not be necessarily true. i'd check the specs of each individual player.

Well, the details of the amount of cache will differ from player to player, but I think all hard drive-based players probably work in more or less the same way. They read data from…

magneto, what conclusion have you come to?

Oh, for a Delicious Library interface like this: http://www.steelskies.com/coverflow/

Can't say much for Coverflow as an interface, per se. Right now you can select individual tracks, let alone get any info about an album. But for browsing through a catalogue...man …

it would be kool if you clicked on the album and the jewel case opened up, displaying the list of songs on the left side of the open case. then you could select the song and play i…

unfortunately coverflow seems to cripple my system whenever I start it up - I don't think it's particularly memory secure! I have a 1GHz TiBook with 512Mb Ram - not amazing but st…

That looks really cool, but even if you COULD do that with a thousand or more titles (memory issues aside), would you really want to?

performance shouldn't be the issue, as it handles the 1329 albums in my iTunes collection quite well. (although on a brand new iMac). but interface-wise while the metaphore makes …

Agreed. For CD art it looks pretty spectacular and a great way to choose your music. I can't see a need to access book info that way. Coverflow's great for what it is--I hope he ke…

How long does it take to completely recharge a 5G 30gig iPod after completely exhausting the batteries? Does it charge any faster over USB 2.0 vs 1.1?
