New iPod

Yay, I've finally gone out and bought myself a new iPod. Its the 30GB

Video model.

My 3rd generation which I've had for almost 3 years finally died (the

padlock icon just switched on, and wouldnt turn off, even after

draining battery and restoring with iTunes). Apparently it just

I was going to get a new one soon anyway, so wasnt too annoyed, but

then I read a rumour of the new iPod coming out in september! Doh!

I've played with the video iPods before, so there wasnt really any

surprises, apart from how little has really changed! For example, I

still cant use the Bass Booster EQ setting without distortion. (And I

dont have crappy headphones or anything). To avoid the distortion, you

have to use MP3Gain on all your MP3s to limit them to 89db.

I was hoping that after a couple of years things like that would have

been fixed!

The lack of Album Art from SharePod is now starting to annoy me....

and thats all I'll say about that for a little while :)

which gives you simple online lists. Its a couple of clicks to create

a list and add items to it. You can tick things off (and un-tick to
