A few questions about 20gb ipod

[Josh]

I am thinking of purchasing a 20gb ipod. I have a few questions before I make up my mind. First, I am going to be using it with a windows computer. Now, I know that isn't a problem but I am probably going to get a ibook in a year or so and I want to know if I could use the ipod to take all the music from my current machine and put it on the ibook? Also, can I use the ipod as a mobile hard drive type thing? Meaning, would I be able to put programs on it to bring over to a friends house and put them on his computer? Do the new 20gb ipod's come with docks? I have one more question, I know that is arranges the songs in a few different ways but is date that the song was made one of them?

With your help I may own an ipod by tonight.

I forgot a question. Have you ever noticed how loud most cd players are? Well, when I got my first mp3 player I was dissapointed in the volume level. I would say it was 1/4 the volume of the average cd player. Is this the case with the ipod? Do you ever wish it could go louder?

My iPod gets loud enough to where I can't hear outside noise I use a pair of Sony in-ear buds though instead of the stock buds. You can easily use the iPod as an external drive with the right software. Try ipodlounge.com, lots of useful info there!

youll have to get software to xfer songs because itunes wont allow u to do that (theyre very much anti piracy)

Yeah, I think it's Anapod Explorer if I'm not mistaken.

So did you buy one last night or what?

yes, u can use it as a portable hard disk. in iTunes edit>preference> ipod(make sure it is plugged in, if not it wont work)> select enable disk use.

Well, I bought one. I also bought a temporary case until my iskin evo2 comes in the mail. I had it out for 2 hours and had like 4 small scratches on it. I cant imagine what is would be after a week of real use that it will be until my iskin case comes so I had to settle on a case locally until it comes. Thanks for all the help btw. If anyone is thinking of buying an ipod and wants to know about the volume level, I have never turned it all the way up. I can't imagine even going half way up once I get my in-ear headphones.

Congrats! Yeah, might as well forget trying to keep it scratch-free lol. I gave up on that after a few days.
