The click wheel iPods are the newer ones. They lack the row of four buttons above the wheel. A more elegant design is, I think, the only advantage (eta: to the rearranged buttons) (plus on the iPod Mini they save space where space is tight).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey. New board.

Not true. They have about 50% more battery life than the third-gens.

Oh, I meant that was the only advantage to the click wheel, not to the 4th gen overall. I see now that my post was ambiguous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dear lord. I told TiVo, for the first time, to automatically record suggestions. Lots of Angel and Buffy, clairvoyant little beastie that it is, but -- Simon & Simon? I blame Magnum PI. Still, I will peek.
Has anyone been using TiVoToGo, especially with the demo DVD burning software?
I quite like it, except the software doesn't (yet) make it easy enough to clip and crop recordings. I may be in the wrong interface, but the DVGate and Click To DVD software that came with my Vaio make that functionality much easier.

I see iPods are the discussion lately but i have only scrolled the most recent replies as i am about 600 posts behind in this thread.
my question is, is it possible to use more than one computer/iTunes to upload songs to your iPod without erasing songs that you already have uploaded? if not i think i shall scream.

It is, as long as you don't synch your iPod to either PC. I tried this way for a while, but changes I made to the tags wouldn't populate to the iPod, and I ended up with duplicate songs, especially when moving playlists.
Ephpod may help.

Ephpod's a product, but the site looks down.
I know that if your iPod is set up to sync, and you want to connect it to an iTunes on the Mac, you hold down the Option key when iTunes is launching.
Don't know how it works on the PC, though.

Hey. New board.
If you have your ipod synced to your home computer, then when you plug it into the new computer it should pop up an iTunes dialog box that says something like "iPod IPOD_NAME is already synced to another computer. Do you want to change the syncing to this computer, erasing the songs on it and replacing it with those on this one, switch it to manual mode, or ignore it?" or something to that effect.
If you change it to manual mode, you'll be able to copy the songs from work to your iPod. Sadly, you then will also have to copy music from your HOME computer to your iPod, rather than it automatically syncing, from that moment on.
