    Hmnn..some ipod gremilin at work methinks.

    I was on version 2.0 of the software and it automatically updated to 2.5 last night.
    This solved the problem of it being a wee bit slow when browsing betwen albums etc.

    Now its no different to browsing the ipod itself, very cool.

    (Im running 3.0 ipod software too if that helps)

    cheers Gary...When these things work its wonderful, when they don't its a bastard.
    I've reloaded...put the new temp password in they sent me, but keeps coming up with Error 10.
    Just sent an email off to their support. Lets see.

    I did notice last night when i fired it up and it was updating my library that quite a bit was missing ...odd.

    Look forward to trawling through yours. oooeer matron.

    I like Zevon, but these days my tastes have gone a bit quieter/folky/world music etc. You can see if I ever get the sod working again !

    Yes!!!

    Never ceases to amaze me.
    Now playing Richard Thompson from your hard drive, into an iMac which is then wirelessly transmitting that into an Airport Express, into a 7520 Caiman into Linn Exotic , into two Active Klouts and coming out of Tukans.

    And it sounds great.

    Oh..and I can play all yours and my libraries on my ipod.

    No worries Gary
    Funnily enough, I too had that HiFi World Mag, and then went out and got Jonathan Goes Country on vinyl. !!

    Yeah, that CD was great.
    Introduced me to Richard Thomson, Gregson and Collister as well.

    Got me curious about the British folk scene in general too.

    Good magazine if I remember right as well!
