Doesn't ITunes recognize the IPod according to serial number or something? confused I remember having to load some crap on for my IPod so ITunes would recognize it. Seems like you could, as long as your computer recogizes both pods... But I've never actually done it shrug

And yes the computer recognized the ipod by serial number so no you can not have two on one computer.

I think you can have one iPod hooked up to five different 'pooter bases but you can't mix and match updating the thingy on different bases without clearing the bloody playlist first. You got to burn that shitz onto a C to the D then do the transfer ('Do the Transfer' is not a dance move).


p.s. I'm not much handy 'pooter stuff but baby I try.

u can have more than one registered on a pc it automatically recognizes it so long as youre online
my friend came over one day and wanted my whole prince collection, so instead of burning it on2 cd she hooked up her ipod 2 my pc and did it that way

we have yet to get both our firewires hooked up to the pc to swap music that way tho, so when we do i'll let u kno

or u can try it, no harm will be done, if it says no dice, just eject it from the pc the way you're spose'd to nod
