I would go for the 1.83 (and did) and max out the RAM, it'll be a much better use of the cash. The shared video shouldn't be a problem with your uses. With Mac OS X the more RAM …

I think this is what you want: Plug your iPod into your computer and make sure it's set to manual update. On your iPod, select all and then choose get info (so you change the info…

Sorry, instead of changing the grouping field on your ipod, you have to change it in the library. So you have to select all 218 songs manually, but then you can still change the in…
