iPod stuff
Sooooooo...any of my f-list peeps bought one of the new Classic iPods yet? I hear they're having some freezing issues when people try to update them. I also hear you can no longer use a simple TV out cord to play shows d/led to them on, say, your own TV. That this feature now only works with Apple propietary products and a $50 Apple TV out cord. (Yikes!)
See, for Xmas I was going to get my husband the 80 gig model - his 20g iPod is approaching full, plus it doesn't have the video play ability (ours are the generation right before that - pics, but no video). But now I'm wondering if I should try to find the 80 gig version 5.5 iPod for him instead. Apple Store has refurbished models for $219 + free shipping. But that's only $30 cheaper than the new Classic 80gig, and my techie heart wants to go with the newest best version of the iPod...if it is the best version. I don't want to buy a Classic if it's going to take Apple a year to work out the kinks, you know?
Thoughts?
And speaking of iPod, is there any way of making iTunes automatically add artwork for albums as you rip them, or does one seriously have to manually add artwork each time? I'm getting tired of searching, d/ling, and adding.
