Hello. I know this has been asked before, but I'm still not 100% sure if I know everything I need to know. So just hear me out and post any advice you have:
My dad is thinking of getting an iPod mini. He currently uses a PC with Windows XP at work, which he'll use to transfer songs to it. However, he plans on getting a Mac later on, which he'll use at home. I have an important question: After the iPod mini has been installed on his PC, and he's transfered a bunch of songs to it, can he use it with his new Mac? Does he have to reformat the hard drive, and if so, would the songs disappear from the iPod mini if he did? And most importantly, after he's made the switch to Mac, can he continue using the iPod mini with his PC?
Please post any info regarding this issue.
Also: Does he need to purchase a dock, or can he still add songs and recharge the iPod mini without one?
