question about ipod.

[tinyman]

soon i'll be leaving sydney for hong kong for a few months or more and i got a feeling i will be missing my cds dearly. i can't take them all with me. i'd hate to only stuff a few in some cd wallets for my trip. probably about time i stepped into this decade and get a large capacity ipod.

but my old computer's 20 gb hard drive is too tiny to store all my cds.

so can music from cd be transferred directly onto the ipod without saving onto the computer hard drive first? or do they only allow you to store what's already on your computer?

or it doesn't have to be an ipod. what was that other brand that people talk up now and then?

[Kennrr]

err?

you can put music on ipod without being on the computer, just make sure you set it manually so that your computer and your ipod don't sync, thats all.

just put one cd and convert to aac and put in your ipod. i forgot if you can just put straight to it or if it puts it in a folder in your computer first, but yeah you can have music on your ipod and not computer.

the sucky part is you can put anything into your ipod but you can't take any music back out of it and put on your computer. well, you can use 3rd party programs to do that, but itunes does not allow that.


and have fun dude.

cool, thanks a lot.

ya, basically when you import into itunes you just select all the files and drag them onto the ipod sign on the left. first you gotta turn off the auto-sync option though.

worddddddddddddd.

my mates got a 100gb in his Creative Brick. but it takes standard 2.5" notebook drives so its a bit bigger but at least he has lots of storage. he's almost filled it now tho and wants a 120GB drive to replace it with

That's wrong.
