I am considering procuring a 20GB iPod in the immediate future, however, as someone who doesn't have a particular fast connection at home, and doesn't have an Apple interface at all, I am rather skittish about the entire business, and so I turn to you lot. Tell me everything you think I should know.*

*I have also been told that once you set up one computer as your base, you can't use other computers to upload your music without losing all the contents of your iPod. I have also been told there is a way around this. Educate me kids, because my base will not be a consistent thing, like, ever.

ETA: Thank you, all of you, for your assistance!

I wish I'd known that there is no easy way to move music back onto your hard drive from the iPod. At least, if there is, I don't know what it is.

Leave it unsynced, so you manually update it. That's what I do, and I load music both on my laptop and from my dad's PC. As long as the version of iTunes you have is up to date, it should be fine. I think.

Of course, I've never even read the instructions, but I've had mine nearly two years now, and I love it.

There is! I promise! Email me with what OS you're using and I'll tell you how to get your music off your iPod.
