Teaching your iPod some new tricks


If you are the proud owner of an Apple iPod you might like to read this article on Business2.com. It tells you some extra tricks so you get the most of your device.

What about getting it to work with Windows, Add the Internet Movie Database or Send yourself notes. There is also a trick to have the device work with multiple PC's:



Make your iPod polygamous.

All iPods sport a sticker that warns, "Don't steal music." This is not just corporate lip service. The company, from Steve Jobs on down, believes in the sanctity of intellectual property rights. By forcing you to "marry" your iPod to one computer at a time, the company figures it can cut down on piracy. Please add this to the canonical list of things that are like being "a little pregnant."

Either let me manage my digital music collection or don't. I work on one computer at work and another at home; I have music on both. Let me automatically sync my iPod to both, thanks. Happily, iPod Free File SynX (or the catchy iPFFX) saves the day. It's still a little clunky -- syncing isn't as automatic as it is on an iTunes-equipped Mac; i.e., you still have to select, drag, and drop. But it's free, or "pay-what-you-like-ware," according to its developer, Christian Vick of Germany. Considering the money you're saving on Morpheus, don't you think you should pay something?
