iPods

disaster has struck!! i have an ipod mini that i bought when they first came out about 5 years ago and the battery does not hold its charge. i want to buy a new one but the question is will i be forced to lose all my music on my current ipod? or will they be transferred to the new one when i plug it in to my computer?? i have about 400 songs on my current ipod, most of them have been bought from itunes so there will be a few hundred pounds of music on it. would be great to know!! thanks

Hello hollie , I think itunes allows you more than one ipod on your account , as long as you are using the same comp you will be able to load your tunes onto it. If you are using a different comp you will have to open another itunes and use a memory stick to transfer your music.

We have two ipods registered on the account, never had any probs

i was thinking about getting a new battery but i have had my ipod a few years so i think its time for a change! i fancy an iPod classic or might get an iphone! are iphones on pay as you go yet??

[hollie1586]

so when i get a new 1....if i just click sync music, it will all go on to the new one?!

Don't think so they changed the tariffs but still have to pay about �259 for phone and then from �35 per month for contract

Not in this country hollie , the iphone has no plans to go to pay-as-you-go yet as far as I know, shame because I wanted one . I got my son an itouch for xmas and it's really great .

what does the ipod touch have that is different from other ipods?

[hollie1586]

is it an iphone without the phone? lol

[bigmamma]

It is very much the same as the iphone except for the phone call bit. It has itunes the same as ipods and will hold plenty tunes , photos , and videos. It has internet and a touch screen exactly the same as the iphone. Also has other features too which are usefull.

Is it me being old fashioned but what is the bl00dy point of walking round with a choice of 400 songs belting in your earhole.

No wonder youngsters these days have lost the power of coherent speech.

Doc sweets , I enjoy my ipod blaring in my ears and I am far from a youngster :-)

[Doc Spock]

Forgive me bigmamma. I love music, all types. Just don't want it in my ears at innapropriate times.

I have about 2000 songs in PC but rarely listen.

I shall now listen to Dire Straite, Walk of life. Magic.
