I have thousands of songs, audio programs I enjoy and have extra hard disk space to back-up large files.

The 20Gb version is good enough to load thousands of songs and on top of that use the iPod as a back up hard disk.

Apple's firmware allows the iPod to be synced with just one machine and if that machine is a Mac then the hard disk is Mac formatted

Disk Write Error

I was surprised when I couldn't use my iPod as a hard disk for both Windows and Mac

Unlike other MP3 devices, you can make thousands of different kinds of playlists, and it also secretly double as a seperate hard disk drive, where you can store various kinds of documents conviently

If you want to fill your 20GB or 40GB iPod, you'll need at least 20GB or 40GB of free disk space, obviously.

Second, it doubles as a hard disk, so you have 20 gigabytes of ability to tranfer any kind of file between computers right here

With its hard disk, rechargable battery, and quick connectivity to pc / mac and supremely simple interface, the ipod has become a dream audio device

It holds numbers notes and functions as a hard disk for storage

I hope you enjoy your I-Pod!
