I can't believe how many video podcasts, films, and lossless music I've put on so far .. and I've still only used 15 gig

 

[MrFaust]

my current 80gb has 12 games and the rest is music. I have 300mb free space.

 

[leng jai]

Seriously considering a classic 80GB right now. I'll need to buy an add on to get line out won't I?

 

[bigshot]

I just loaded 2,500 classic animated cartoons on my 160 and it's only half full. Amazing.

See ya

well I managed to get a black 160gb ipod classic this evening. I also found some wonderful software called Ipod 2 Ipod that is currently cloning my 80gb ipod content to my new 160gb ipod with no real work on my behalf. Talk about a fantastic time savor. Worth every penny in my book. I was really not looking forward to preparing all the music again. It should be done transfering all 79.3gb in a few hours. Will report back tomorrow if there are any issues with this software.

Chances are that your iPod will report 0 songs when the transfer's complete, but if you've got a compiler sitting around http://main.wtbw.co.uk/hash58.zip should be able to generate your hash automatically for you.

 

[MrFaust]

yup 0 songs. damn. and no compiler here.

If you can hold off till tomorrow I might be able to build an executable for you. Got access to Visual Studio at work. I guess you could just manually update in that time though. Up to you.

So how's the SQ on these iPod Classics? I'm thinking of getting an 80 gig Classic or a Touch.

MrFaust that is exactly what I've been looking for, or at least the other programs available at that website. Thanks a million.

well that program doesn't seem to work. I transfered the library from my 80gb to my 160gb but my 160gb reported NO MUSIC. I managed to get another program for iPod Access for Windows and copied all of my music from my ipod to a portable usb drive then then loaded that into iTunes and am currently loading it onto the new 160gb iPod. It's still less work that reripping all those cds again.

 

[gonzalo]

all my cd's collection+ 6 music films and yet i have 90 gb free, its veeeeeery nice, and 40 hours battery wow¡¡

Why in the world do you need to go to all that trouble to get your music & videos on your new iPod? You do realize that iTunes will (ok, should) just recopy & sync all of your music, videos, photos, playlists, etc onto your new iPod. Just plug the new iPod into your PC/Mac with your iTunes collection and it'll sync it all over just as it did with your old iPod. No weird iPod-to-iPod copy programs needed, and you most certainly don't need to re-rip all of your CD's.

That doesn't work, BigStig, for those of us who have iTunes libraries that are much larger than any iPod, even the 160gb, can hold

 

[BigStig]

Admittedly, my MP3 collection is small enough (24GB) that it all fits quite nicely on my new 80GB Classic, so no 'content management' is needed.

However, I had a 2GB Nano for well over a year. iTunes certainly can manage libraries that are larger than the player. There is an option in iTunes to 'Sync only Checked songs', and then you just check the songs/albums/artists that you want to transfer. Playlists also work pretty well for controlling sync content.
