iPod download questions

[Irulan]

Ah ha! The usual suspects are responding. BZ is prolly still recovering from the Attack of the Cyclists at the Saturday W2W rest stop.

iTunes and winamp: when you say "authorize" additional computers, can I download from the iPod to the PC when I sync? So maybe I wouldn't have to re-rip everything immediately? Or use 3rd party SW just to create a backup before I start this project.

Re the classical issue: I can't find anything on winamp's site about the specific metadata which can be recorded, i.e., composer vs artist

Let me take a look into what I see.

We have several ipods, several computers, and several winamps. We have had no issues hooking my ipod to hubby's laptop or anyother variation. Winamp is not a mac product so I think it just does it's own thing. I don't buy music from Itunes, I just rip cds from the libaray etc. into mp3's or whatevers. So I can't comment on all the crazy stuff that comes with itunes music.

I can do a screen shot of what your options are, composer and artist are available.
