Twp Ipods One computer question: I assume that once you install software for new IPod, ITunes will recognize each?

Yes to all of your questions. To use multiple iPods on your computer, just set up different playlists for each iPod (especially for the nano) and set the particular iPod to sync ONLY with that playlist. You can only do this while the iPod is connected to the computer, but it makes syncing very easy and managable. I have 3 iPods (3rd Generation 40 GB, iPod mini 4GB and the new 5th Gen 80GB video ipod. Only my new video iPod syncs with my entire database and my 3G and mini sync only with their specific playlists. You can also manage separate playlists within these playlists as well!

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

So this means whatever music I have on my compute I just have to transfer to Itunes? Not to bad....I can do that!!

I dont' know about Mac. But in a PC as I have, yes. It comes with a CD you load to the computer, and then you will update the iTunes program

I have heard there might be some third party software that you can use, but I think the easiest and best way is to add your windows media player items to iTunes and then sync the iPod.

Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver.

We have not done that, but my husband believes he saw that it would connect with ITunes in the documentation. We use it to connect with Internet radio stations all over the world primarily for listening to folk music. It works great for that. Very easy to switch our preprogrammed stations. I hope that helps.

Sure... if your songs are sync'ed with your computer, when you plug in your new iPod, just re-sync with iTunes to the new iPod and it will copy everything over (depending on how you've configured it). I have three different iPods connected to my Mac, two of them are hard drive based, and so they both are mirror images of each other.

Hi Phil It works with wmp, but not with iTunes in the same way. You could make and name a folder on the desktop, then drag a playlist into the folder then copy it to the Cowon, but dropping it into the cowon's music folder. Incidently the Cowon recognises 64gig SD cards and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't recognise the new 128gb micro sd cards

I tried this today and it worked! I'm glad for the simple yet effective way to get around the iTunes situation. Thank you!

Yes, you will need to use iTunes. It comes with a CD software (iTunes) and they you will need to update online.Amazon: you should write this detail in the description product.

I don't know. I would ask iTunes support. They are really good about responding to questions.

HiI'd say that there's a 99% chance that the tags will work. Which program did you use to rip the cds? Most programs use ID3v2.3 which is what ipod uses so there shouldn't be any problems. And even if your tags aren't recognized by the ipod, you can use a freeware program like mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/) to change it to the appropriate tagging scheme. This process should be very painless and should take 5-10 mins at most.

Just to correct one misconception. The iPod is not limited to music purchased at the iTunes store. You mentioned my favorite source, emusic.com which works great with an iPod (or any mp3 player). Unprotected mp3s from any source will work just fine. You are correct in that iPods don't work with subscription services.

I have used other programs to find music and then I tell itunes to add that folder to it's library. Then itunes simply converts whatever music files it is "allowed" to convert into it's own format so it can be used by the ipod. I've only had a few music files that could not be converted for whatever reason, copyright protection I suppose.

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.
