I have just inherited a 4 GB iPod Mini. I use WinXP. If anyone has any tips and tricks they can share, or traps to avoid, I would love to learn them.

Thanks in advance,

John

Find the finest medicine for nervous frustration brought on by i-tunes,

Bribe someone in Apple to simplify their programme, or

Place it on the railway tracks and derive a moment of pure joy as you create a true artform.

one cool thing about the mini is you can replace the internal hard drive with a compact flash card, up to 32GB these days, more capacity AND more battery life.

robertman,

Thank you, I have much to learn about things iPod.

I have yet to fill up the drive with my music, but when I do, greater capacity and longer battery life sounds like an attractive option.

I have learned how to sync it with an Outlook calendar, which will be a convenience once I work out the details. There once was a time when applications shippedwith useful User Manuals.

All I know is that #2 son just got a refurb Ipod mini, & it's made him very cranky & hard to get along with (more so than usual for a 16 yr old)...he's complaining about the battery life being less than advertised as well...

If the theory does not conform to the facts, then the facts must be discarded.

No good deed ever goes unpunished

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

I received a "nano" for Christmas, listen to it for hours on end at the beach and while riding my bicycle. I have never completely drained the battery.

I have been told that quickly draining the battery might mean the volume is VERY high, or the screen brightness is set high, both of which are hard on the battery.

I have connected it my friend's Dell (Windows) after she downloaded itunes, and after we set it up, it works fine.

Work easiest with a Mac though. Plug and play, as advertised.

WW,

I didn't receive my xmas copy of the movie.

Is my local postmistress a closet pornifier?

I wish!!

I am atill waiting too. She says "be patient, movies take a long time to finish"

I was sent some stills to look at though...

It is very odd, seeing myself with long brown hair. The scenes with the "beach boy" is a bit of a turn on, he was sexy. Haven't seen any with me and any of the actresses yet.
