We purchased two of these from Amazon based on the reviews. Loading the itunes software, buying tunes from the itunes site and moving stuff off our existing cds to the ipod were a breeze. Everything was great until we wanted to synch to a different laptop. Then we realized that itunes on the new computer couldn't see the contents of the ipod at all! Sure itunes itself could see what we purchased from the site, but all the other stuff we downloaded from our own library was essentially non-existent. There is information on how to move songs from one computer to another using the ipod as a harddrive but you need the old computer and new computer at hand to do that. If I had the old computer to synch with I wouldn't need to synch to the new one now would I?
I can't understand why when you have itunes loaded on two computers you still can't move the ipod from one computer to the other and see what songs are loaded on the ipod. These ipods are rated very highly but more than likely from users who have one computer and never change to another computer. I wouldn't buy these again. I'd stick to the MP3/windows devices that work off of standard computer protocals. This Apple stuff is very quirky to work with unless you are 100% apple. They definitely march to their own drummer.Get more detail about Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Silver (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL.
