yep - you need to use itunes though.

and iPod has a HUGE aftermarket - so you can do heaps more with it.

k

can you put anything else on them apart from music?
like a movie to swap with a mate or apps etc?

yep - you can copy any filkes to them for transfer.
they won't PLAY video, but will carry anything as a drive.

but mac only, isn't it? The 'PC' iPods don't show up as a hard drive, do they....?? Not totally sure, but Apple might have fixed this..
I use mine all the time as a HD, aswell as a player. Couldn't be without it now..

looks like the new one does.. But it will be from recent models only, wouldn't have thought the older iPods would. Be happy to be proven wrong tho

everybody knows iaudio 's are the best, insurance just came through on my ipod, ipods suck unreliable always fuck out, mates work in retail and they get countless amounts back, if yours is working for a long time you got lucky..

so yea, got my iaudio with remote, 20gb hdd all that jazz etc etc etc, 35hour play time, 6 hour charge,

Iaudio > iPOoD

why are ipods so popular then?
seems "everybody" while obviously understanding that your player is supreme, still buy ipods....

had my 2G iPod for ages, never had a problem with it.. shame you did, but nothing is perfect..
Never heard of iAudio tho, just did a search for it, to see what it was!
Why can nothing be original any more? More on about the name than anything else. A player is a player, but come on.. 'i' everything now..

Well, whatever works for ya, as long as your jamin...

Listening to songs while

is nice - but hearing your finely tuned girl thump between your legs, valves singing, tyres squealing, exhaust barking is pure music.

This is the only music I listen too.

We Bikers are a breed all on our own and we ROCK!!!!!!!!!

all i know is the amount of ipod returns in retail is amazing due to faults, be it a certain model or what, and that i have 35hours of playtime on my iaudio

Are you asking whether you can use an iPod as a hard drive on Windows?

Yes you can. I've a 3G, 20Gb and it's just fine. I have all my 'important' stuff on it - and occasionally use it as more of a flash drive than an mp3 player.

Also...ta for the advice on teh playlist making - I think that's a top idea. But yes - shuffle on some things is amusing: Vivaldi - Gwen Stefani is pretty good too!
