LOL...I think he means that he'd rather sit around for a few hours and record albums in real time !

Hold on a minute bud...Think about this for a second, logically:
A few flaws seen in your statement. First one being, that one day, the user accidentally deletes the Ephod proggie from the iPods HD, and when they get to their destination, they're like "Oh crap, where's the software?" So in fact, it IS true that you'd need software on the "target PC". And even if you did have it with you, I don't see how you consider HAVING to carry a piece of software with you in order to do said task, just as convenient as plugging in the IHP, dragging and dropping with no worries of the former issue....
Also, just for the simple FACT that you DO NEED iTUnes in order to build the iPods music DB (for the purpose of playing the files directly after transfer, not just for storing them), makes the IHP even more of a convenience/better bang for the buck TO ME. (And the IHP's are always cheaper anyway)
Anyway, this is not meant to be argumentative...only throwing in my half penny. It's just that if *I* was a newb, and needed straight facts, I would want to know the most intimate details in all areas. The small things make a huge difference, which is why I chose the IHP, and have never felt the need to complain about its features/functionality. Perhaps if I was used to the way of the iPod, I might feel a bit out of place with the IHP, but thankfully, I've not yet been corrupted.

You can simply store Ephpod on the iPod's hard drive, plug the iPod into ANY computer, its automatically detected, run Ephod from the Ipod's hard drive, and load music to the iPod. NO SOFTWARE NEEDED ON TARGET PC. I know it works, because that's how I do it when I'm away from home and i don't want to (or can't) install iTunes on a PC. |
