so apparently that turns off auto-sync. next step is to get songs onto the ipod w/o iTunes.

Also less breakable than a regular ipod, which means I can take it to work instead of lugging around a big radio and listening to sports talk when I'm by myself.

POST-SCRIPT: This is exactly why I settled on the Shuffle. In the end, the tiny size won me over- here's to living backpack-free! I made my first playlist in iTunes (6 hours of high-quality MP3s and the damn thing isn't even full) on Friday, and have been rocking it all weekend. Best 2 bones-and-change I've spent in ages.

The Shuffle lives in a coat pocket right now! If you read upthread, you'll see that I was lamenting the size of my MP3 Discman, as it was an early, comparitively bulky model, and pretty much required the use of a man-purse.

I won't have to reformat the flipping thing to get it to work with the new computer will I?

I wear a coat about seven days a year. Ten if we get a cold snap.

Thanks, Ed. I can do that via my external hard-drive, right? Just get tunes onto it and then load em back onto the new laptop.
Won't there be a problem when I reinstall the ipod software on the new laptop? I'll be using the same registration number as before, or something? (You can tell I've only had my i-pod since Valentine's day!)

also what happens if you want to sync your ipod with itunes but you have more songs on itunes than can fit on your ipod?
― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 20 May 2005 19:13 (eighteen years ago) link
no. you can charge off of your computer
You have to set up iTunes to "choose" which "songs" to "put" on your "iPod".

Are you affiliated with an educational institution at all or know someone who is? You could try to get the nice education discount.

No, the mini is the chick ipod. Seriously, Apple caught on to what Sony has known forever, girls like small & cute electronics. If I look at the electronics that my girl geek friends own, and the ones that my guy geek friends own, there is essentially no overlap outside of powerbooks.
Anyway, I own a shuffle- that + Shure e3cs = happy. I don't need the display to tell me what the current song is because I generally already know what ever songs I've put onto it, or I can wait until I get home to look up one if it's bugging me. It depends on what you listen to, I think... I have a smallish set of music that I want to listen to when I'm walking to or from work, which is when I usually use the Shuffle.
