I was thinking that since I wanted to use the copy of MMJB that comes with the iPod for some line-in recording, I'd try using it instead of EphPod at the beginning.

Over 2 hours later, I was ready to chuck my computer out of the window! I don't know what the deal was, but I never managed to install the iPod plug-in for MMJB. Finally, I did a system restore, and followed Adam's instructions to cancel out of the iPod CD as soon as you hit the MMJB install, and installed EphPod.

As soon as it started up, I was impressed - it's a good looking program. And despite one inital hiccup (I had been messing around so long, and playing with the backlight and games, that the battery died in the middle of my first transfer attempt!), my first transfer went great.

One question:
Everything looks great, but under artists, R.E.M. are listed 3 times. Is this because of the periods in the name? Should I tag them as REM instead? This is by far the artist with the most songs in my collection, so I don't want there to be 3 copies of them if I can avoid it. Does anyone else have R.E.M. tunes on their iPod? Thx!
