i wish the green was less neon, like more of a deep green. looks like I'm just gonna go ahead and get the white. i guess i could always get the black (if I still want it then) down the line, and it's only $35 anyway.

i don't know. i'm being very careful and cautious with this thing so as to not start having problems.

dumb question, but did you upload the artwork and apply it to the respective albums/songs?


Dumb answer, of course I didn't! I guess I didn't know it had to be done, or didn't know how to do it.

i didnt know either until i went itunes help. in itunes, select the ipod, highlight an album, right click, then 'get info,' then in the next screen doubleclick the box that says album art (or similar, i don't have my itunes open), then it should prompt you to find the file.

Thanks, I got it to work now. But it looks like now I have to go download a picture from allmusic for every single album I have on my iPod MANUALLY? And keep them all on my computer? There's gotta be an easier way.

yeah, you gotta download each one. i just go to amazon/allmusic and save/upload. but i would think that if you set the ipod to update manually you wouldn't have to keep every album cover on your pc.

Do you have an alternative. I'd recommend *something*. Here's what I'm using for the moment: http://www.agent18.com/index.cfm?action ... 9b7c3725df

I finally caved in and bought an iskin. It was delivered today, and although it hasn't been field tested yet, it seems pretty great. I got the white one.

P.S. I feel guilty that I've had my video iPod since October and I have yet to watch a video on it.

No need to save the file. You can simply drag the image directly from the browser to the little box in Itunes. Here's how: select the album you want to add art for (not a song - has to be the album folder) then find the image. Click it, drag it over to the little box in the lower-left hand corner of Itunes, and drop. It'll take a moment for Itunes to update the song files with the image.

I got the black iskin for my vid ipod as well, and love it.

So does the wife, which means I never see the thing.

ok, quick question for all of you owners. I think I might actually be soon jumping onto this ship. Is there a way to move certain albums/songs onto yr ipod, or do you have to move the entire itunes roster that you have? I have certain things I don't want to have on there as I'm driving, but are nice when I'm at home.

if you turn off the autosync, you can put on select individual tracks or albums to put on the ipod
