iPod download questions

Actually... I just inherited a (last gen) iPod Touch that my niece got free with her new laptop (she already had an iPod).

Now that I look at it a little harder, <fanfare> it lets you sort by composer!

Since you can buy iTunes music with iPod Touch as well as iPhone, a sync must really be a two-way sync - at least with those units. Can't speak to other iPods.

If you are wanting to transfer everything from your iPod to a new computer, there's masses of little programmes that will do the trick. The one I've used is PodPlus. I remember it being easy to navigate if you just wanted to pull of a few albums/tracks rather than copying everything. You can also transfer stuff directly from computer to computer by setting up a network through your wireless. Can't remember exactly how we got that to work, but a mate and I did manage to, uh, share our iTunes libraries that way. That's the hard part: once you've got the music on the new laptop it's no trouble to "wipe your iPod clean and start over".

Yay! Good news. Our old Sony Vaio made the move to Oregon with us because I'd never gotten around to wiping/reformatting the old harddrive. I figured a pro would have to do it. But I had the epiphany Saturday that I could buy a shell and turn it into an external harddrive which means I recovered all my old files. And, most importantly, I can wipe out the tax records on there.

Anyone need a new screen for their old Vaio? Going on Craigslist.
