If you haven't found out yet, convert all your songs to AAC in iTunes, will double your iPod capacity.

My 2 cents Cheesy

What about quality loss, you are after all compressing compressed data?

My tip....turn down the screen brightness.....saves so much battery life, and at half it doesn't look particularly different to full Roll Eyes

My iPod is also 2-years old and I'm happy with it... it seems that it has not lost battery capacity, as I can stay for 4 days listening to it regularly and w/o charging...

I don't know about AAC... most of my MP3s are at 320kbps and quality may be lost...

another tip for ipod users who have gotten the frowny face before and not been able to get it to work?

I kid you not, take it and smack it up against a hard table or floor, 9 times out of ten it will start looking, happened numerous times with my girlfriends

That's true.. my iPod had the so famous "Click of death" and hitting it with a cloth against the desk fixed it... and I never had a problem again Tongue

first of, i have always hated ipods, the software is crappy and unstable on the windows platform, so many people i know have jsut had problems with it, songs being deleted, ipod being formatted, and loosing songs of their computer and not being able to get hte ipod to talk to the computer so they can transfer back on...
