Apple iPod 80GB
Great product but there are a few glitches if you are not carefull.
I have not bought any songs, I downloaded all my own CD’s using my Windows XP computer.
I soon realized I needed to move my itunes library to an external drive to free up the space on my c:drive.
Now if I try to use my song library I get error message “files not found do you want to search” If I search I can find the song in Windows but have to find each song individually, I can then add it to the library at the new drive location.
I have 2600 songs I burned from my CD collection and I have now started this time consuming task to be able to use my itunes library.
Meanwhile I cannot attach my iPod to the computer as I am told this will clear the iPod drive.
So if you buy this great item be careful if you need to move your songs to another drive or computer. There is a way to do it, but it is not the most obvious way.
