I keep reading how the podcasters hate the shuffle. Fine, it's small and won't fit many podcasts, but they're going off on how it a move backwards and they want apple to make an ip…

They want iPod Video.

Who gives a fsck what podcaster's want. I don't even give a wet fart who they are. -t

I hate to say it, but the problem that the Podcasters have with the iPod Shuffle is the fact that for the most part, the "bigname" podcasters have the same attitude that the "bigna…

What the heck is a pod cast? I've heard this all over slashdot but have no idea what they are... like... just aac or mp3 files of people talking or... what?

Podcasting is a bit more than just an mp3 file of someone talking. It's more about the delivery method ~ the mp3s are within an RSS Feed and they are automatically downloaded. Al…

Hi How are the headphones that come with the ipods? Are they comfortable to where if you will be wearing them for a 30 minute train ride, your ears won't hurt? Do they stay put …

From what I hear, and the few pairs I have tried the standard headphones are pretty good sound quality wise and at least decent comfort wise. A lot of this will depend on the size…

Does anyone know if the iPod Shuffle keeps track of playcounts? More specifically, does it sync the playcount back to iTunes? Thanks in advance, Zach

How odd. I was *just* wondering the same thing. Do any of the iPods sync back play-count data to iTunes, for that matter? I have a smart playlist called 'backlist' which is all th…

I don't think the other iPods do that either.

according to the ipodlounge.com, the ipod shuffle will sync back the playcount if you set it as auto-sync, but it doesn't have the last played date because the ipod shuffle doesn't…

I just discovered that the Shuffle doesn't update the "last played" info. Because all of my playlists rely on picking songs that haven't been played in the last few days, I'm reall…
