Ok, I bought this little fucker for the wife. Now I have to figure out
how the damn thing works.

I have dragged and dropped mp3 files into it via windows explorer.
It shows that the files are on the IPod, but when I plug the earbuds
into it, there is nothing NaDa. It will not play shit.

The onboard software did not load up. didn't do squat.

Is this another "no common sense engineer's device" or am I retarded?

Is it another defective POS from china?

You have to use iTunes.  Import songs to iTunes, iTunes syncs iPod.

You have to use Itunes IIRC, you can get it from Apple's website.


I dont think it will work properly if you just drag & drop files.

Arent there also 3rd party programs you can use so that you can just drag and drop aswell?

For people who dont like to use proprietary apple programs.

Yea, try Winamp. I refuse to use iTunes. Winamp and any appropriate plugins have yet to let me down.

Ohh sweet, there is a WinAmp plugin for Ipods

I've wanted an Ipod but Itunes is chock full of "info gathering" programs that I read the EULA and said "fuck it"....

Yea, same. If it weren't for iPods, I would completely disassociate myself from Apple. Fortunately, I don't have to rely on their software as well.

I think the most current versions of Winamp support iPods without any plugins. But if they don't, a quick search at the winamp site will lead to everything you need.

Thanks for the help.

It would have been nice to have had some BOLD PRINT within that microscopic
printing stating that you need to download ITunes.

Everything is working good now.  PIE will be my reward.

I must be gettin old ....

I just do not understand the fascination of them things.

I listen to the radio in my rig when I am out driving around and sometimes I listen to the stereo play CD's at home .... but I never have the yearning to have earplugs in and music piped into my melon 24/7

The good ole days:
