Hello all, I just got an ipod shuffle and I have a question. As I was
loading both the ipod software and the i-tunes software, I got to a
place where the message read something like this. After installing the
i-tunes software, you will be unable to ad files on the ipod by in any
other way than i-tunes. Now, this made me wonder if I could not load
i-tunes and simply copy files from my computer to the ipod without
i-tunes software. In fact, the ipod shows up as a drive letter and I
can copy files to it. But, I am not sure if I have the hold button on
or if, on the other hand, the ipod will not play files you have put on
the ipod by simply copying them from your computer. In other words, do
I need to load i-tunes in order to get files to my ipod that I can play,
or can I simply play the ones I copy via Windows explorer? Thanks for
your help on this one. You know, new toys always always present new
questions.
Neal
