I'm about 2 0r three days behind on lj right now, so I feel bad asking for info when I'm not keeping up with everyone's lives, but I need info. Specifically info from everyone who has an ipod. The library is trying to determine whether it would be helpful or not to install itunes. Ipods are becoming popular enough that people have started asking, so here are the questions my boss wants answered:
"In case it comes up again, though, does anyone know what's involved in hooking
ipods to our machines? Do we need special software? Are there problems related to
downloads/coywrite issues/user account issues we should be aware of? Other issues?"
Not a single one of us at the library has an ipod, so we can't test it out. I think you need itunes installed to download music to an ipod (i know you need it installed to purchase music). Do you log into itunes even when not purchasing? Can we set a default where you have to log in? Are there any issues with the ipod like with Sony's magicgate technology (where it matters which computer you download from?). I know zero about them, so any info would help. Thanks.
