Sorry to hear that, Bud. I have a couple of programs that would have helped a ton there. Change the firmware so you can read and write to the iPod is one of many solutions. Doing so can check the song data sum against an international database.
As for getting a classic iPod? Nope. I don't agree. The iPod Mini is a bargain and swapping out the battery takes minutes. Sound is identical to the classic iPod (I assume you mean the big 4GB). The TRUE sleeper was the iPod Shuffle. It was made for runners or anyone else into physical activities. That is why they brought them back from the great beyond. Clip and run. Of course it takes some trickery to get it to follow playlists and such but, look online, it came back for a reason.
I still prefer the mini. Has a screen, can do playlists on the fly, sound is better than the Shuffle and has all the goodies like car hookup / wireless / contact list / EQ.
My two cents on old hardware. Beats the hell out of the new, though, and I fix iPhones, iTouch+ all the time. Try running with an iTouch! LOL!
I (finally) finished importing all of my cd's to iTunes. That may not sound like a difficult task but I've had hundreds
of disks that when popped into iTunes came up unknown artist and no track titles. I had to type (peck) the song title,
artist, album title, genre, and sometimes year for thousands of songs. I've been doing this for about a month.
Over a thousand cd's and 11,000 songs and I still have over 60 gigs for any new music. Anyone that doesn't already have
an iPod, buy the classic. This thing has to hold about 20,000 songs or more. It's not as cool as the touch as far as features
go but if all you care about is the music this is the way to go. Peace!
