Are you guys totally positave that by updating to version 2.1 I will not loose one single song on my ipod. I need a 5>x posts to verify this. And some kind of money bribe like...if they do dissapear we will pay for you to download them again incase you get sued!

####. Yes you can download them . I had the problem of getting itunes and updater on the pc but you can just click on the option when it start to download the the program but hangs for afew minutes. I did it with the 2.1 update and Itunes plus the update just works on the firmware os not the music at all so it is safe to update but but I will still use ephpod for syncing.

MC9 asks for a format before you can use it with MC9, which is okay if all your MP3s from the iPOD are on your computer. But if not then your pretty much screwed. Or you have to rip all your albums again.

So swsmith50 might have thought iTUNES needed to do the same thing and didn't have the necessary space on his computer.

BTW swsmith50, upgrade from ME to XP/2000 or even 98 or NT because ME is Microsofts worst operating system EVER! Just remember to upgrade drivers, or XP will be unstable.

Go get 2000 or xp.

ME is the worst piece of #### ever created. I had it on my computer ~6 months, horrible. Had to format 4 times.

Now I have XP and this install is over one year old.
And it's _very_ stable.
