mishare must for ipod users



MiShare - A must for IPod users

If a friend's digital music collection leaves you with playlist envy,

instant gratification is one step closer. MiShare lets music

connoisseurs swap files between iPods on the fly.

The device serves as a bridge between two iPods (though not the

Shuffle or Touch models) and allows sharing of songs, videos and

photos. It can transmit a 3-megabyte song in about 6 seconds, or a

60-megabyte album in under 2 minutes. Pushing a button copies the most

recently played song; holding it down copies the whole playlist.

But miShare doesn't eliminate the need to connect to a computer

altogether. When you sync your iPod with iTunes, you are prompted to

unlock any songs and videos that are protected by Apple's anticopying

system by entering the original purchaser's user name and password.

Unprotected songs are available for immediate playback (but sharing

responsibly is always a good idea).

The device, which will be available this month for $100 from

mishare.com, is simple in form, but the manual is a must-read for the

technologically timid.
