is it possible to upgrade my iPod Video software/firmware (the model that came out before he current models) to the new iPod Video software/firmware. I want this because i want the new features in the new software such as the album cover preview that takes up half the screen.

help much appreciated.

PS: sorry if it doesnt make much sense i wrote this in a hurry...

try just updating from within itunes

if not then it's probably an issue just that they're different styles of ipod so can't have the same update

like trying to update and old nano to play video like the new ones do......it just wouldn't be possible

i see what you mean, i have already upgraded my software on my ipod, thats how this idea came about, so unless i can download a diff software somewhere else, i cant get it from iTunes.

well if you were using something like, oh, say, a Zune, you'd be able to update to the Zune 2 firmware without buying a whole new device

I've screwed up my iPod a couple of times trying to install iPodLinux and I have always been able to restore it back to factory defaults.

Am I going to lose my songs installing this?

I believe this is just a skin and not the actual firmware, so it won't be as good as Apple's design.

It looks pretty much the same though... its the graffti design I'm intrested in anyway, but like I say, I don't want to lose my songs...
