Multiple iPods

Wednesday, July 28, 2004

next generationAaarrghh. I have just got to get the new one. My iPod quickly became my favorite toy. My girlfriend gave me a 20gb one for Christmas. I upgraded to the 40gb in January, and I listen to it daily. iTunes is even a damn good WinAMP and / or MusicMatch replacement, and Apple did an amazing job with the iTunes UI. Anyway … Can anyone tell me any sob stories about switching from a 40gb 3rd-gen to a 40gb 4th-gen? Was it shmoove? What happens to all my m4p files? Are there issues with migrating “authorized” songs? Talk to me, kids.

The songs are authorized on your computer, and the contract allows for copying those authorized files onto an unlimited number of iPods. So, knock on wood, you shouldn’t have any problems at all.

I migrated from an 2G iPod to a 3G iPod last year and had absolutely no trouble. (And was able to sell my old one on iBay to get back a signficant chunk of the upgrade cost.) I’m thinking of doing that again to get a 4G iPod.
