| 579608 | 2007-09-11 06:26:00 | Here's another useful iPod review More Newton than iPod, more tablet than music player, the new Apple iPod touch unveiled last week by CEO Steve Jobs breaks into a new hardware category that should scare the ultra-mobile PC/Nokia Tablet world. Apple's much-anticipated launch of the iPod touch this week heralds a new era for Apple's wildly popular line of music and video players. The iPod, which emerged first as nothing more than a portable music player -- albeit one dripping in cool -- grew up to become a music and video device in adolesence and is now a semi-full featured Internet tablet device. www.computerworld.com.au |

| 579609 | 2007-09-11 12:15:00 | Heres a good review. arstechnica.com I am waiting for the test were they see what it takes to break the new nano. What was disappointing to see, was that the ipod classic is slower and very laggy compared to the ipod gen 5.5. The coverflow looks very laggy, especially when playing music at the same time. It is even slower than the nano. I will hold off upgrading until the second generation ipod touch, and will keep using my gen 5.5 ipod. |

| 579610 | 2007-09-11 22:10:00 | MasterCard is what I have, what is the difference for that when it comes to a dispute? Before I had access to all the proprietary information needed to answer that question, I had to sign a screed of confidentiality agreements governing how that information is shared. Sorry if that sounds pompous, but the fact remains I run the risk of getting my ass in a sling if I share it all here. If you are concerned about it, talk to the Bank that issued the card. Tell them what you want to do, and what the process is if you want to dispute a "card not present" transaction. Oh, and talk to the team handling disputes....not a Call Centre person. Ask to be put through to them. |

| 579611 | 2007-09-11 22:15:00 | I have ABBA Gold (Including Cover art) in my collection. It was actually my wife's but I like some of their stuff and they are from my generation too. I also have Rammstein, Pluto, Evermore, The Eagles, U2, Barry White, Rhombus, The Clash, The Cure etc - very eclectic. Which brings me to my next question......with the exception of Bat Out Of Hell I rarely listen to entire albums. All my car music is compilations burned onto blank CD's. Can I create compilations in WMP11 and copy them to the iPod? Presumably they need to be named, and the compilation will show on the head unit with the compilation name? I realise that could be No. 1 on the list of dumb-ass questions!! :confused: |

| 579612 | 2007-09-12 01:53:00 | You won't be using WMP11 on your iPod PERIOD! But yes to everything else. iTunes uses the Gracenote CDDB online data base to source the names of your tracks from your ripped CDs (interweb connection required) iTunesd allows you to make your own compilations much the same way as WMP does. You can download iTunes and check it out if you want, you don't need to have an iPod to do that. You can basically ditch WMP11 because you won't be using it again. |

You seem to have experience with iTunes, do you know of a good guide for us new to it? |

| 579614 | 2007-09-12 02:36:00 | You seem to have experience with iTunes, do you know of a good guide for us new to it? What sort of "Guide"? There is a Help menu in the top navigation bar, but the rest of it is pretty straight forward, obviously it is not WMP which Microsoft had to simplify get to the usability standard of iTunes. (you can check through the versions of WMP 9-11 compared with iTunes you will see what I am talking about.) Download it and give it a try, if you don't like it you can always un install it and try something else. www.apple.com Any user related questions, PM me. I have both Mac and Win XP versions running. |

| 579616 | 2007-09-12 03:11:00 | 49MB on dial-up? Don't think so. Next question: Do I have to use iTunes to copy music to iPod? Will WMP convert .wma to MP3? |
allblack (6574) | ||
| 579617 | 2007-09-12 03:16:00 | Had a friend of my wife's family download iTunes on sloooow dial up at Christmas when she got an iPod nano, she had it downloaded by the time we had finished Christmas lunch. WMP should have an import or convert to MP3 format - you would need to check. you don't need iTunes to put songs on your iPod there are other suitable FREE apps that will do that. You can check a few of them out at iLounge.com |
