another ipod question...

I've seen mention of this before and wanted to know if I will avert disaster ahead of time by doing this lol It seems there is some kind of issue about having to name your tracks. What causes this? Is this when you have a track that is already unnamed that you are uploading? Are you required to give it a name in order to upload to the ipod? If I went in and named songs on my HD that are otherwise titled Track 1, Track 2 etc... will my tracks stay named when I upload to the ipod?

From what I understand, you don't have to name anything. iTunes will try and find the song or give it some funky name if it thinks it found the song and you have not told it otherwise. It's always best to name your songs as when it's time to play them, you can dissern between the 5 or so Track 1's.

Does the ipod attempt to give EVERY song a name or does it try and only name songs that don't have a name? And I have to pass the songs through Itunes first before putting them on the ipod?

iPod will name your unnamed tracks like this: Track 5. 05Track 5, 0505 Track 5, etc. It's just best to name them as you load the on.

It tries to name them, if you have that in your settings. It is good practice to name your songs. And YES you need to use iTunes in order to put your songs on the iPod. That's my biggest issue.

If you don't want these issues, I HIGHLY recommend getting something so not proprietary like the Creative Zen.

There are ways to use an iPod without iTunes, but the vast majority of people will be fine with iTunes.

Okay you and I have so much in common. When it comes to electronic devices I have no patience. I get violent if it doesn't work for me. I literally smashed an old car cassette player with my foot when I was at a stop sign once.

There are fractions I sometimes miss there

True story

I was kidnapped by my best friend and taken away ( to Fl )

She told me if I returned she would do it again and again to save my life

She saved my life

I am forever greatful

I hated her for a time - until my head cleared and I could see the big pic

IN doing that she removed from a man that may have killed me ( or I him 1st prolly ) and then as I was thinking of making my way back to Mi, I met TR ...
