Sepiroth23 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Well i have a 3rd gen ipod and have never had any problems uploading from multiple computers :wink: Maybe he meant to say that you cant just drag the songs off via itunes (heaps of programs that will though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 As default yes you can only upload songs from one computer. In its default setting the ipod will syncronise with whatever computer its plugged into. Laymans: If i plug my ipod into my computer it will download approx 2000 tracks. If i then take my ipod and plug it into my friends pc it will wipe the songs that are from my computer and replace them will my friends. There is however an option to use the ipod as more of a portable hard drive where you manually add each song onto it so you would be able to use it with more than one computer. The best way however would simply be so put all the songs onto one computer rather than using two or more. Like Sepiroth23 said there are plenty of other programs for organising the songs on your ipod apart from itunes. And no wma's are not suppported because they are lame.

Bmw Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 iPods. Yes. IPod or Ipod. Eww. iPod. Yes. Get my point? :P Back on topic tho, yes, you can only load files from one computer onto your iPod, UNLESS you have your entire music library on multiple computers. If you do, you can use more than one computer. So to answer directly, there is no real limit to how many comps u can use your iPod with. What the iPod does when connected is boot up into iTunes on the computer. The computer then, by default will try to auto update the iPod. If you have say 600 songs on the iPod and your iTunes has no files, it will prob say something like "This iPod is linked to a different library, Would you like to replace the files on your iPod with that of this library? Yes/No. So yeah, you need your entire music library to use on multiple computers. As for wmas, iTunes will convert it to AAC for you, without a problem. So no worries at all there. iPod + iTunes...an unbeatable combo. Good luck on purchasing an iPod, i'd highly reccomend one. Take note that I've went thru a couple hundred dollar mp3 players so far, and I'm going no further. The iPod is truely...amazing. Wow, am I a "fanboy" or what? :lol: :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the option is enable disk use :wink: Anyway thats what I have. That's a problem I had when I first got mine. I didnt know about that option and couldnt hold all the songs I wanted since they were on different accounts. But when you use it as an external hard drive, it's like having a USB memory key: you can put or take documents/folders one at a time without disturbing the other ones and move on to another comp and do the same. I cant see how someone can use an iPod without enabling disk use... It's should be illegal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I use my iPod without disk use. All my songs are on my computer. If i want some songs my friend has i'll borrow his cd for a few days to add to my own library. It works for me perfectly this way and I just dock and wait for it to sync. Takes seconds.

ice_ring Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't itunes where you go online and buy songs for 1 DOLLAR each? If so then why is everyone still using it when you can just get napster and download as many songs as you want for $15 a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as soon as you stop your Napster subscription all your songs stop working. Songs paid for on iTunes are yours to keep. And Dan is right, I think ive only bought 2 songs from iTunes (both charity singles) and sometimes get the weekly free track.

kingjoe2002 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I had a second generation ipod which got stolen and recently bought a ipod photo 60gb. I like ipods because of their looks mainly. Sound quality is ok, not as good as my Sony MZ-RH10 minidisc player/recorder which i use to record live concerts and recitals. What i like best about the newest ipod is the linux hack. Lets you watch full color videos on it :P. No sound though, ppl cant figure out how to get the second processor on the ipod working with linux :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
