Now Im faced with a few probs:

Do I get an iPod which has too short battery life, and is small compared to the M3L (cause lets face it, you need the LCD screen to use it otherwise you wont be able to browse easily atall)

Or, do I get the M3L because it has such an amazing battery life?!

I wish Apple would extend the battery life, or Cowon would build the LCD screen in..

Oh, and I dont know about the iPod cause I cant use iTunes ....






.......

again, u can get a battery pack which can extend the battery for up to 70 hrsi.

if i wanted a huge lump like that in my pocket, i could just go for the M3L who's lump is smaller.. lol

but im not going with the M3L, i'd rather go with an iPod ..i know it works, its used in alot of skate videos so its obviously good

i am, however, going to wait untill apple update it..

Ive managed to fix install tunes, so i installed iTunes...

IMO, Its really good! the library is really good! A few things I wanna work out though:

[list=1]
[*]My music is in D:\MP3s. When I put new a new song in that folder, can iTunes automatically add it to the library?

[*]Can you edit the ID3 tag of a song outside of iTunes, then have iTunes update itself to show the new ID3 tag? The other way too, can you
update a ID3 tag in iTunes then have it actually update the file so the ID3 tag has been changed for other programs too?

Like if you change the ID3 tag in Winamp, it actually updates the file... Does iTunes do that, or does it just change it in iTunes?

[*]Can you plug the iPod into the pc, and play songs from it on the PC? (ie, can you play a song thats on the iPod via the PC speakers..)

[*]how does iTunes charge you? do you need an account with credits or something? found that one out

[*]how can you preview a song before you 'buy'?
[/list]

(Whilst typing this i noticed a bug: the above is meant to be a numbered list.. looks more like bullet points to me!)

for the 2nd question: no. iTunes updates the iTuens database, not the file.

don't kno bout the 1st

In the music store (duh) just double click the song. as long as you don't hit the "Buy Now" button, it just gives u the 30 second preview. u don't even need an iTunes account. it does bug u to get one every 10(?­) previews.



just out of curiosity, what was the problem

thank for all that, but actually i found out that updating a song INSIDE iTunes does update the ID3 tag!

the problem, i have no idea. i managed to solve it by reinstalling the installshield engine..

So with the iPod, iTunes synchs it yeah? So if I changed the title of CKY - Attached At The Hip to CKY - AATH in iTunes, then the name of the song will automatically change on the iPod?

What happens if I add a song to the iTunes library, does it automatically add it to the iPod? (and if I delete one?)

thanks for all the help so far, i think i'll definatly getting one now..

yuppers. ur iPod is meant to be a perfect copy of ur iTunes database.

good to hear ur getting one

ah sooo good! i think im gonna wait a bit though, untill they release a newer version... if that has longer life ill get it, if not ill consider getting it anyway!

Does anything have to be installed (once the iPod has been formated) to use the iPod as a hard drive? (ie. can i put a few videos on the iPod, then take them to my friends, and watch them on his pc without installing anything?)

1. does ur friend have firewire? assuming he does...
2. its an issue of whether his OS will recognize a firewire HD. i might be wrong
3. to use it as a HD, u need to open the iPod preferences and tell it to be in disk mode.



just a question: are u gonna get the 20GB over the 15GB? why?

ah ok thanks...

i think ill go for a 20, i dunno why... i know i wont, but i dont wanna run out of space !

have you got the 15? how much songs, files, and space are you using?
