A friend of mine asked me to post this here so excuse me if my wording isn't right.
I have a lot of tracks in my iPOD as I am using it as an external HD. When I open my playlist, only about 30-40 or so are showing up. Whenever I try and put them as a playable file for my iPOD, it copies the file twice: one kept in as an external and one copy goes into the playlist. Is there any way to get around this besides deleting the actual file kept in original mp3 format?
If I need to make his words clearer please let me know.
Thanks in advance. |

check out the program ephPod. it treats your ipod like any other drive, aka you can copy songs to it, and then delete them from your HD. i think you can also then access your ipod through windows explorer

| I think Ephpod is the answer in this case. I've tried it once but i really don't like the interface, it's actually. But I guess once you get to know that it works fine :) I still hope Apple will fix this problem in some new firmware version someday... |

The problem here is, we don't want to delete the files from the HD to add them to the playlist, but we'd also like to get around the fact that it copies the file twice.
Ex. Let's say you have 30 gigs of music on a 60 gig iPOD. All the 30 is being treated as an external HD. When you pass them on to a playlist though, it keeps the original in the HD (which we do not want to lose) as well as it copies it to the playlist. If you do that to the whole folder, you'd basically have 30 gigs duplicated: once in the HD and once in the playlist; what we're trying to do is to get around this somehow.
I'll send the sites to my friend to see if he can work out something of the sort. Thanks for the early replies. |
