This morning, I installed ITunes on my laptop, and after searching around and finding most of my mp3 files (I can't find 'Run With Us; I suspect it might be an mp2 file) I synced everything to the ipod, since the laptop *does* have a firewire port.
This leaves me with scads of David Bowie, Kate Bush, and Marillion, and a scattering of other songs, mostly without artist or album names attached. I'm not sure if 'shuffle everything' is picking up the songs without names... I think it is, since the last song it picked was by harveydanger, and I don't *think* the harveydanger songs had info.
It came with headphones, so I listened to some music while taking my morning walk. I feel a bit nervous walking around with a $200 piece of electronics in my pocket (or however much it costs, I think it's more), but it's a fairly safe neighborhood. It's the slums of Bellevue, but I mean, come on, it's *Bellevue*.
Aside from making it hard to search through the songs without artist and album info (they don't seem to be sorted in any particular order, although it looks like they might be all at the end of the songs that *do* have artist info), and periodic skipping if I play it while walking, it works okay.
