I seem to recall hearing the direction they were going in was with flash memory. They may not keep going up the traditional HD path, or they may do both. But they are in bed with Samsung, I think, for flash drives, and they've been expanding their capacity.

SA, how is your 80 Gig Ipod full? Do you have a computer hard drive that is a teragig or something?

Dear God.

So it seems that all the CDs I loaded on my iPod at my parents' house - ie pretty much my entire music collection - is toast. Some of the songs I loaded there via purchase-from-itunes also toast - some not.

The myriad songs that I had already loaded onto it some months earlier, consisting of my neighbour's entire music collection (because my laptop wouldn't upload music onto the iPod)?

Still there.

Which - what the hell? I only had that illicit stuff in the first place because I couldn't upload my own music. I would have been perfectly philosophical about losing it. I don't listen to the vast majority of it at all, and those albums I did find via this I'd be quite happy to go and buy.

But no. It's all my own music that is gone.

WHY GOD, WHY????

AND I now have an undestroyable popup virus announcement thing on my work computer. Will not go away. Like UberTribbles, they are. Or a Tribble Hydra.

My 80 GB iPod is beyond full as well. I won't be happy until they are at least 160 GB, if not 200. My music alone takes up 100 GB, and that leaves me no room for putting TV shows and such on my iPod.

My iTunes drive is up to 173GB and growing fast.

I've just gotten a RAZR V3i (that's what the manual says, I thought the original description said V3t, but I don't know the difference, I only got it because it is purple) and I can't get it to send text messages. I suspect that I need to set the service number correctly, but I can't find a way to do that. The number is stored on my SIM card and my Treo works just fine, but when I switch the card over to the RAZR, no messages can be sent. They can be received, and I can make phone calls and I haven't even dipped a toe into the browser issue. I read the manual, I checked T-mobile's FAQ and tried to follow their instrictions, I just can't find that setting at all.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm going to need a second iPod for music. The majority of the space on my (30 gig) one is taken up by, err. Supernatural S2.

In an ideal world, I'd either be able to buy S1 or flip my DVDs into the proper format, but then I'd have no room for music. Thus, the need for a second iPod.

'Zactly. I have about 50 gig of music, with more still on my computers, and the first season of grey's anatomy, and a handful of other television shows; then some movies, but not all because I couldn't fit them all; a few gigs of podcasts, etc. A 200gig iPod would be *ideal,* because for me I just have to dump everything on there and use it as a way to store the media in addition to playing it.

I think the assumation is that people will have everything stored in one place, and then add to the iPod as they want.

Fay, check the file path for some of the missing songs in iTunes. It may be looking for them in the original "home" folder from where you got them, versus the new location. You can probably turn up a trend at least, and that may lead to being able to repoint the damn things.

Unfortunately iTunes doesn't show the file path for your files on your iPod. It would be a trillion times more user friendly if it did.
