On Windows, you can set up separate user accounts. These separate user accounts use different directories in iTunes, so each of you will have your own song list without each other's music to sync your iPod to.

I did end up with one problem and had to call the company. I was deleting songs off the player, but the space available was getting smaller. It turned out that I needed to empty the trash... simple enough. As I said, I just got a mac (macbook) so I don't know if this type of thing happens often with a mac. But, make sure you empty the trash if you are deleting songs or the player will get filled!!

I wasnt for sure what you mean but if you have a Icloud account then what you have to do is if you dont already have a apple itunes account make one. Then sync the cloud with ur itunes its very easy then synce your new Ipod nano 2nd gen my personal favorite I have 5 of them to your Itunes account then drag the songs you want into your Ipod nano its simple I hope I answered your question feel free to email me with any more questions at. dee.lindsay327@gmail.com.

I just spoke with an Apple rep as I am also frustrated with Cover Flow. He said to: (1) plug my ipod into my computer / iTunes(2) go to my nano's Summary page (where you can see the storage space or refresh the unit, etc)(3) click on the Music tab(4) uncheck Display Artwork-- I hope that helps!

My 120 is a piece of crap. Read posts at apple discussions about skipping,cutting of songs and reseting wile playing. My old 30G is 3 yrs old and I play it constantly at work,in my car etc. alot of days I have played it for 10 hr streaches and it is still more reliable than this POC. This problem has been happening since it was new and apple wants to ignore the problem. It is a hardware problem with the 120GB. I am about to smash the darn thig out of frustration as it has gotten so bad it is just about unusable. Only 8 mo old. Think I will look into other brands. Apple quality is going down. They should drop this like they did the POC 160GB. Buy one at your own risk My 120 is a piece of crap. Read posts at apple discussions about skipping,cutting of songs and reseting wile playing.

1. If you download karaoke songs from itunes onto your ipod and then plug it into this system, do the lyrics appear on the screen? I would be wary of CD+G from iTunes, for the simple fact that Karaoke music is comprised of two separate files. IF and only IF you download the music and the data file which is required from iTunes as one (and I doubt it), then you should have no problem. Also, in order to make a CD+G disc to use in the device, you need Karaoke Software like Karaoke Studio which is capable of making discs from the two files. I think most complaints that you'll read where people are saying the lyrics are not showing up are people who are unaware of Karaoke files actually are and what's required. When they burn a disc and press play, the music comes on and the lyrics don't because you have to use specific software. Karaoke is an investment for sure and the Music +G is never cheap. 2. Do all karaoke cds work on this system, and do the lyrics always show up on the screen as well? I've purchased several Karaoke compilations from Amazon and they've all worked so far without problem. As anyone who knows Karaoke will say, it's best to try and master three or four songs and really develop your ability. If you really want to make those songs the way you want it, like adjusting the lyrics as they're sometimes wrong or inserting background pictures, Karaoke software is the next step.

You can pre-sort your playlist on iTunes by alphabetical order within the Artist Name but outside of that, you will not be able to know in real time what is playing because there is no display screen like the larger iPod versions. The other option is to create smaller 10 song playlists that you know the specific order of and shuffle between them. This inability to know "real-time" what is playing is a small downside of the shuffle and would be a reason to buy the larger iPod with screen display.

Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver. Hope this helps

I have the 3rd generation (new one) 32 GB IPOD Touch. Works great with this unit.Only problem. The IPOD played perfectly with the default dock adapter, but is a little jiggly. I took that adapter out and replaced it with the one that came with my IPOD. I could not get enough clearance. The IPOD wouldn't make the connection - wouldn't play. I replaced it with the adapter it came with. No one else has this complaint. Plays great music. Also, it's my understanding that the 2nd and 3rd gen IPOD Touch are identical physically, so it shouldn't be a problem. To be safe, this is available in store at Target for $79. 90 day return policy.

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

Your 7400 songs probably came from iTunes during the years that apple protected them, I think up until 2008 or 2009. I had same issue, over it now.

500 CD's averaging 15 tracks per CD is a total of 7500 tracks. The iPod Touch 32 gig holds approximately 7,000 songs. A 40GB MP3 player will hold approximately 10,000 songs, but they are hard drive based and aren't designed for rough usage. 40 GB hard drive players are pretty hard to find these days so she might have to sacrifice some songs. She most likely doesn't actually listen to 500 CD's on a regular basis and you can always set iTunes to auto-rotate the songs for for fresh content. An alternative to the iPod Touch is the iPod Classic which packs 160 GB (around 40.000 songs) of storage. They are but around $250. The iPod Touch is also available in 64GB for a higher cost (around $300). An alternative to those two iPods is the Zune HD which packs 16, 32, or 64 gigabytes as well. These are considerably cheaper than the iPod equivilent. They also offered a 120 GB Zune (non-HD) but the price will vary as they are no longer manufactured. Sony also makes highly-regarded MP3 players that are comparable to MS and Apple. Besides These three companies, I can't really recommend buying anything else. I've owned all different types of MP3 players from Creative, Toshiba, Samsung, Sandisk, and the MS Zune but none of them come close to the tight integration that iTunes and iPod have. Every time I hit the sync button I'm confident the iPod will have exactly the songs I want on it. With Windows Media Player or the Zune software, a lot of the time it will end up partially syncing and some songs will duplicate. Album art is also a nightmare on these. As much as I don't like Apple's business model, their software and hardware are pretty hard to beat.

Ahhhhh....so you were sent the wrong Altec Lansing docking station. I still haven't ordered another one from Amazon yet. I was thinking about taking my IPOD touch (2nd Gen/16 GB) in to Target or Wal-Mart to try it on their docking stations. Has anyone ever tried that??Also, GM...I went through A.L. Tech support and none of the adaptors worked either. By the way, did you get a white plastic adaptor that came with your IPOD??? I found one here and it has 16 written on it. The black ones that I sent back to Amazon all had different numbers.Thanks,Seaturtlelady
