I recently installed an Alpine CDA-9830 with an iPod adapter in my car. it's okay. Not real thrilled with it. The file management system of the Alpine units go to pieces when there…

I ordered my adapter and have not received it for my pioneer Avic-N1... I really can't wait to install it and find out how everthing works out. I hope I don't get the 255 songs lim…

I have the alpine ipod adapter as well... I tried using it, but the interface was not planned out very well, it's slow and difficult to use... Hopefully version 2 of the adapter wi…

What's this "255 song limit" that you guys are talking about? I love Alpine's stuff, and have grown to more or less despise Pioneer's car audio equipment. I really don't want to …

Just to throw out another possibility, Kenwood released their iPod controller. It may not be the most feature rich one out there, but it does the easy simple stuff well. It displ…

I've got a one gigabyte iPod Shuffle, a 60 GB iPod Photo and several Macs at home and office. There are Airport Expresses connected to speakers at each location. When I attach my i…

i sync my computers (2 at home, 1 at work) so that my ipod playlists are identical.

I have a similar question: I loaded my songs from my Mac at home to my 1GHz shuffle. When I plugged into my work PC (with iTunes 4.7.1 for Windows installed), iTunes comes up wit…

Sorry veryniceguy2002 and DPUser, you can't play songs from an ipod shuffle if it's plugged in. Not through iTunes, not even through the headphones. It HAS to be unplugged from the…

I just found an workaround... I can access the shuffle's hidden directory on Windows 2000, and I can copy the AAC files from my shuffle into iTunes in Windows... now I can play my…

my gf's shuffle shows up on my mac until iTunes pops up and tells me to reformat the shuffle to Mac (from windows) I can't see the hidden file for some reason so I just want to kno…

Get yourself a cheap set of speakers just for your shuffle at work or use the PCs speakers for it. You don't ever need to hook up the shuffle to the PC at work to listen to it. Y…

Daughter wants an Ipod. Went to Circuit City salesman suggested a non Ipod brand of mp3 player would be better as accessories would be cheaper. I think I'd rather stick with the …

1) There always is , but AFAIK there aren't any big deal rumors floating around. 2) If you get a normal iPod or an iPod Photo, get the biggest one you can. If you get a mini, get …

1. Apple updated the iPod line relatively recently, so there shouldn't be any revisions for a little while. 2. Get the largest one you can reasonably afford. Song collections are…

I think all of the iPods are great values, and now is a great time to buy any of them. Apple has the whole line really spread out well, it just depends how your daughter wants to …

How old is she? How computer savvy? I'd suggest a pink Mini, maybe the new 6GB one.

Everyone has made very good suggestions so far. Knowing your daughter's age and knowledge of computers will only help to further aid you. As far as deals go, if you do decide to g…
