Does anyone else have the problem that iTunes doesn't recognize your player? It comes up in My Computer, everything is connected right, but I have to restart the computer and iTunes, uninstall, etc like 20 times before it will recognize my iPod. I finally got it last night, and today it's not working again. I did everything it says to do in the "help" on the website, I'm not sure what's going on. Anyone have any idea?

yeah, I have to install/uninstall and it works finally...

This is seriously the worst program I've ever encountered.

It's magically working again. Evil program.

there is just some deal with the windows enviroment that I'm sure the mac world doesn't have. I've never hooked this thing up to a mac... though maybe I should

It's easy as pie with a Mac. Just plug it in, register, and go.

there is some synching issue. not sure what it is.

It's worth the annoyance, though.

itunes sucks i hate it.

I just got a 60GB Creative Zen Vision and tried using the included synching software but i don't really like it. So i tried using windows media player.....freaking amazing. It's like a whole new world ive never experienced before. I used to dispise WMP because i just didnt like how it works. But it synchs like a dream to my Zen.

I just got my older daughter a nano, and dl'd iTunes for xmas, and the only prob/complaint I have so far , is when yourip a cd, it wont x-fer to the iPod until you shut iTunes off and restart it.
So far......sigh.

How the hell do the internal batteries hold up????

I fear technology.

wmp has always been my favorite player for reproduction value. Its pretty 'tr00' and unbiased as far as players go.
WMP 11 is cool, I just dld that last night too.

I just got the 30 GB one for Christmas. What does the synching stuff do?

I use anapod by redchair, dont have any problems

If you use Winamp, I'd recommend ml Ipod (http://www.mlipod.com). I had the same problem with ITunes if I plugged my Ipod into a USB hub. And if you're real adventurous, you can forego the whole IPod software and run linux on it. http://ipodlinux.org/

I'll have to look into that, I only use winamp. Thanks, man.

I use winamp for all my music, WMP11 for all my video (I have plugins for real & quicktime) but xferring to my iPod (the wife got me a brand new 80GB for x-mas, w00t!) I use iTunes (because winamp won't transfer video and it'll corrupt my library db on my iPod (WTF?!?!)

hm.. itunes no worky on my computer.. keeps crashing... weird...

the latest versions of WinAMP have direct support for the iPod, no plugins required

um.. how the hells does winamp synch? I just dl'd 5.32

ok, I got it.. I like the winamp way.. sort of.

got an ipod yesterday. i've spent just about all my time today, importing files. yay.

AHAHAHA i JUST ACCIDENTALLY oops caps... knocked a 60GB drive (from 2000) off a thing beside me and it now just clicking alot. oopies...
that's where all my ipod MP3s are. I need to get a new drive now and a program that rips them from my ipod.

there is actually an "Ipod for dummies" book out. I have yet to read it, but it might set you on the right path. My fix: wait until one of your friends is online, then bug the shit outta them for 2 hours straight while they walk you through the process, step by step, on aim.*cough, cough*(insert you B.I.L here____)

I dont use iTunes
I got sick of it
so I downloaded a plugin for Winamp
I like it much better then iTunes
