I bought an ipod video last night! Whee!
It's black and probably rather shiny...underneath the protective plastic cover, that is.
I'm still perusing through the instruction booklet at the moment. As in Bon's words, I'm such a "noob". My first question upon opening it up was, "so...how do I turn this thing on?"
Who could've known listening and transferring songs could be so much fun! With 30gb worth of goodness to fill up...oh how wonderful life can be. (I never really got into the walkman/discman/MD player/mp3 player thing, this fascination with music is all very new and exciting to me)
I'm a little bit put out that I can't really watch anything with subtitles without going blind from squinting at the tiny text, but that's ok. It just means no Gundam or other complicated sci-fi Japanese series, I can cope. Besides, who REALLY needs to understand Ranma anyway? (It's all just slapstick.)
Thanks goes to Chris and Kam and, by extension, Willy W. for getting the ipod for me. Although, Kam, when Chris said "I can get you 400 right now", he meant that he had the money organised ready to go, and not that he needed the ipod straightaway!
Just a question to all those ipod savvy young'uns out there: I'm using the ml-ipod plug-in on winamp to load the songs onto my ipod because Chris and Bon have strictly instructed me not to use iTunes. The songs display and play perfectly on my ipod, but I still can't see them as individual files like you would if you load mp3 files onto a usb key. Isn't that the whole point of using ml-ipod? That you can view the files individually? Help! I need guidance!
Plus I loaded a video file using winamp and it plays, but there's no title displayed for the file on my ipod. What do I do?
