Don't worry about that they should be backed up just fine.

They won't be in the iPod's playlist unless you transfer the songs via iTunes. If you backup via disk mode then you're ok -- they won't be in your playlist.

wicked all.. thanks for the replies.

hope this isnt thread jacking, i'm trying not to start a new thread (dont need to get slapped by a moderator). i want to back up my powerbook. it has a cdrw drive, which doesnt gi…

you could always get the older 60gig from apple, or another retailer, and double up on your accessories thats what i always did, never hurts to have an extra dock, cable, etc.

Good news! The iPod was found and given back to the authorities of Swiss Railway. I can pick it up tomorrow at the railway station. I hope it's still in good condition. I just info…

Congrats! It's good to hear you're getting it back.

I think there are lots of people waiting for this feature to grace the spin-HD based iPod's (especially the mini owners). Too bad I haven't heard of anything like this yet. I'm s…
