I'm downloading Parallels. It changed enough since the beta stuff I played with. Plus they bribed me with $10 iTunes gift card, so how could I refuse?

wow, sorry for the running riot of posts today. Y'all must be doing things more than loafing and avoiding work.
Anyhow, the question for the awesome hive mind. Is there a way to take a playlist from an iPod, that was created on the iPod, and export it/copy it/move it back into iTunes? I created some cool lists at work, and now want them saved at home. Eventually hope to actually sync rather than just manual, but I don't want to loose these awesome playlists... or have to recreate them either (BIG playlists).

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have no clue about ipods but I am loafing and avoiding work.

I await the answer, omnis.

Ann, that's a ferret.
omnis, Tuneplus (available at your local Big Box store) is supposed to be able to do that. I bought a copy when I got my new iPod after the old one died, and the computer containing my iTunes library had also died. I can't say it worked very well for me, but that may have been the condition of the old iPod.

I haven't tried it, but it appears as though the free YamiPod can do it: [link]

Any playlist you create on an iPod should appear in iTunes as an "On The Go" playlist. (If you create more than one they get numbered.)

The Airport on my MacBook seems to be acting up. When I join my home network, it connects readily but often takes a minute or two to get an IP adress via DHCP. Often I'll hit the "renew DHCP lease" button but I'm not sure that speeds things up very much.
I've tried rebooting the MacBook, the router and the modem. I've tried a different router. None of those seemed to help. The MacBook sometimes has problems with other routers as well. Recently it has started dropping the connection, forcing me to manually reconnect.
The only thing which has seemed to help (not positive the instances of "seeming to help" are statistically significant) is turning off the "Enable interference robustness" option.
My home network is set up as a preferred network. The signal is strong, and the noise is low, giving a good signal/noise ratio.
Any ideas?

Sorry Tommy, I should have been more specific, I connect my iPod to my work computer, and create the playlists on the ipod via the iTunes. God, has anyone made large playlists with on-the-go? On my 4th gen that seemed painful.
Thanks for the other ideas. I think YamiPod might do it.

Yeah, I was wondering if I was missing something....
I think my biggest on-the-go playlist was five or six songs....
