I have download and enjoy using the podrunner.  It is a very good beat and could keep me going for an hour if I was up to it (NOT YET BUT SOON!) I have to try the other one out..

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for passing that along....

I have a dilema....I have an iPOD and have my ‘library’ on my home desktop Mac....

I saw your post about podrunner and have it streaming at work, but when I plug in my apple it wants to convert my iPOD to my PC.....deleting all my songs....

so I will just have to keep downloading it from my home PC, unless anyone knows a work-around?

good suggestions.....thanks for the links!

Great stuff.  I used one of his mixes today and had a hard time stopping after 45 minutes.

Tom - I don’t want to get into the Mac vs PC thing, but one reason I gave away my iPOD was the lack of a storage card.  With the iPAQ, I can load tracks from any machine that supports USB connections (I have a small portable USB card reader) onto either an SD or CF card and play them on the iPAQ.  You might need to download the podcast at work, move it to a card or USB flash drive, then do the transfer to the iPOD at home.

Tom, you’re Ipod is locked to ONE library. All iPods are. So, I am sorry, you have to choose. This has something to do with copyrights and stuff. If you plug you’re iPod onto another persons computer, you’re iPod will ble formatted.

Psst… don’t tell anyone that you can google “CopyPod”. This programme let’s you “backup” youre iPod on another computer. Really simple.

shhh ....i wont tell anyone copypod does that...but can you use it from mac to pc.....without formating the iPOD?

thanks for the update I appreciate it!@

I would agree that you have to choose or use an illegal “converter” to change iTunes music (in m4A protected format) into regular mp3’s that can play on anything.  I may have mentioned I use my pocketPC phone as my player and it takes mini-SD cards.  I have 2 1G cards - 1 for podcasts and 1 for music.  The rest of my music resides on my PC until I need it and I just plug in my card reader, slide it onto the card, lickety split.  I don’t even have to go through my PocketPc’s sync program.  Cool.

There are some legal converters for going from .wma format to .mp3 if anyone wants to know.  Just write me.

Sorry, the iPod product line is AWESOME, but without the trade-ability, I find it too limiting and won’t buy them.  Too bad there isn’t something as good as iTunes for the non-apple mp3 playing world.  There are always lots of new contenders trying to come up with the new iPod or iTunes “killer” but it hasn’t happened.

Anybody using the ZUNE?  What do you think?

It copys all your iPod content to the PC. So, you won’t loose it. Now you have the same content on to libraries. But, the iPod is attached to one Library, if you want to switch the music. So, you have to figure out witch will be youre main library. I’m a Mac fan, so go for the Mac… Hehehe.

Please don’t misunderstand me; I’m a bit of a Mac fan myself and have owned a seriously expensive Apple laptop in the past.  My job has used both platforms.  At some point in the past few years I just had to choose one so I was in sync with work, and that one was Microsoft.  But Apple definitely holds the record for

better security
easier UI
aesthetics
etc.

So you go, PaperBoy!  We are on the same team in a way. 

thanks mr norway paperboy.

Everytime I plug in my iPOD to my PC at work (to charge it), it prompts me if I want to re format the pod to the PC ...i say no, and it goes on to charge the battery…

So if I download copypod, it will just put all my iPOD library in my iTunes library that is on my PC? (and not erase or format the IPOD).. that would be cool!

Thanks again....appreciate your help!

You got it.
Note! Do not run iTunes before you run CopyPod or do not have iTunes open while running CopyPod. 1) Click on Copypod. 2) Copy your iPod music. 3) THEN run iTunes.
OK?

thanks!

boy, it’s like i have my own computer tech helping me.....

I’ll try that at work!

Thanks again!
