On the Go playlist anyone? I'm pretty sure that counts as making a playlist, seeing as it asks you to click which songs you want in said playlist.

What that means is you can't create a new playlist on the device itself (aside from Genius lists). It would just be stupid and pointless for the device not to support playlists at all.

No, you can't make playlists on this device. That was the only reason why I didn't get it. I've owned two other COWON Mp3 players and was very happy with them, but I need to make playlists AND I need 160 GB of storage. That leaves only one other choice and I had to reluctantly purchase the iPod Classic with its 160 GB hard drive. Though there were some compromises compared to the COWON (EQ in the iPod isn't as extensive and there's no A-B section repeat switch), I'm happy with the iPod. Good luck on your purchase.

The users manual states that this system is compatible with the iPod touch 1st & 2nd gen models. I tried it with my 4 gen model and it does not work. Too bad because the system sounds wonderful. Anybody else have this issue?

While I have not used this feature, I think that you can make your own playlists. You would use iTunes to create the playlists I believe. But, my adult children have many playlists so it must be possible.

Seeing as this isn't an actual iPod, no you can't. It look like one but is as the name suggests, it is a generic mp3 player.but I do believe iPods do let you face time with other iPod users.

I also wondered the same. I now have the unit and it DOES NOT display album art. Also, the ipod controls are OK, not great. There doesn't seem to be a search feature, or anyway to advance through long lists (I have 1000 artists, so to get down the list 5 at a time takes a long while). I also haven't found a way to control the ipod through itself.

The best and simplest way is to go through Itunes and just drag and drop. Sync it from there.I must warn you though, not all iPod videos come out the same. Some don't sync properly, for some reason (still working on that one). But 95% that I've sync'd played just fine.You can than use the DVD player/dock and watch them in widescreen!

I have not tried playlists. You can add folders containing music and play from there but it will still play all music. I'm gonna try a playlist tonight and see if it will only play that.

I never had an Ipod classic! But I love my nano it has bluetooth so I can use with my wireless headphones! I had gotten 3 different refurbished ones though and nothing but problems with all 3! so I broke down and spent the $150 to get the new one and I love it!!

This replaces the screen. You have to follow the directions (my husband followed a video on youtube on how to replace an apple touch ipod screen). There is a good video giving step by step instructions and I would recommend watching it all the way through before making this purchase to see if it is something you will be able to do. We had to purchase 2 of these screens because the first one did not work at all.

I think it will help so much if you change the screen of your iPod and I think that is the reason why your touch screen does not work, just in case you experience problems, the company can help you change your screen, but the truth is very easy to do if you follow the step by step

So the music does play rarely? I found my IPOD will not transmit a signal if the inside of the car, the IPod, or the FM Transmitter is COLD. It seems after the items warm up, they play fine. I have no idea if that is the issue with yours being a different Ipod, but since it does work some of the time... maybe it could be your issue... Before I tried keeping the items warm, I would have to go 15 minutes down the road trying to find a setting that would give me the signal. I listen to books from the IPod and I was frustrated to say the least.

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

I think you can print your playlist in I-tunes, but other than that, you just need to get to know your song list. This is a very simplistic machine. You have one playlist. You can listen to them in order or shuffle them. Period.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

No the playlist button is no accessible when inside this case. Only buttons on the face of the Ipod are useable.
