Many Id3 tagging programs, like tag-it or mmjb allow to add a small picture to song file. Unfortunately, iPod can't display this picture when playing the song. I hope Apple will correct the problem.

What can is say - i reckon the iPod is one of the best bit of kits i've ever bought - and that's saying something. I couldn't believe how well finished the product was (well the hardware anyway, the jury is still out on the software). And my hats odd to Apple tech-support, i had one...

some kind of wi-fi conection with headphones would be cool ... I hate wires ... they just get in the way, they wrap round stuff they get dirty ... the future is wireless and I want it now :)just thought - if you had wi-fi headphones you could also share with friends as well ... that would be quite c...

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before so excuse me if they have. Before the iPod I used to use my portable CD player whenever I went out. When I got home at night I would place it on a little table right by my door since there was little need for it at home. It was a great system bec...

A feature I'd love to see on the iPod (and in iTunes) is song aliases or shortcuts.Let's say I am a Paul McCartney fan (which I am) and have ripped my copies of Band On The Run, Wingspan, Greatest Hits etc (which I have). All of these albums have the same version of the same song 'Ban...

Sup all,1- I believe in the next gen of ipods, it will have a biger screen and be able to playback videos. I do not own an Ipod or a mac but people have been saying that Apple sells videos on the Itunes. So why shouldn't the ipod be PVP? And on top of that, lots of compagnies are jumping...

I really don't need a lot of new functions that others are suggesting for the Ipod, because I want it to be as easy to use as it is today. But these things I would like to be improved:1. A more customizable Equalizer; ability to fine-adjust the eq2. Better batterylife; screen that turns off to...

Hi,After now a few days of TNG iPod use (with the 2.0.1 firmware), here are my complaints about the device and the points I'd like Apple improve for the next firmware update (if they make a new one !!!).1. Add an option to enable or disable the EU volume limitation.2. Let backlight turned on as...

In addition to the presets, I would like to see an EQ . 5 bands that could be changed and saved. It would be cool if settings could be save and associated with individual songs.

After thinking on long train trips a few ideas struck me for the next gen ipod...There are rumors going around that the next gen of ipods will use OLEDs. From what i gather they use less power than LCD screens, glow (so backlighting isn't needed) and are capable of displaying in colour.I'v...

under browse "artists" section on my ipod there is more than one listing per artist... somties they are listed up to 6 times... how can i make them be listed once only? any help wouldbe greatt - thanksif there is no way to change this then Apple needs to do somting to change it because this is so AN...

Ok here's a thought. I'm getting kinda annoyed that the cool On-the-Go playlists I've been making always get ditched when you reconnect your Ipod to the docking station. Wouldn't it be awesome if that playlist didn't get erased everytime, OR you could create a playlist on yo...

I just sent this to iPod's feedback fellas. What do you think? I think shuffle should have an "All" option which would shuffle between every MP3 on an iPod even after selecting a song via Artists->Artist->Album->Song. If I've been listening to an album and I want the iPod to s...

The first mp3 player I ever owned was a pocket pc and the beauty of it was that I was able to pick which playlists were played "randomized" and which were not. With the Ipod, all the random option lumps all the playlists together. It's annoying when you have to switch between the random option...

I wish the backlight could have two settings based on where it was plugged into a power source or not. When it iso n battery, I don't want the backlight to come on. If it is plugged into a power source, then I want the backlight to come on.

The recharging system with the iPod isn't really smart. Because, you can use the firewire cable as charging or datatransfer cable.Always when I connect my iPod at the dockingstation I receive an alert that the battery would be empty soon!Why they don't incloude the chargecable in the docki...

i personally would like to see the ipod come in different colors like some of the boxes show a charcoal/black ipod. Not only that but it would be cool if they could actually make ALL ipods come with blue backlighting instead of only a select random few.

Wireless RemoteI want this ( http://www.engineeredaudio.com/products/remote.html) and more remotes like it. Must be RF and not IR so I can keep my iPod in my bag!Face platesIve already put too many scratches on my 3G ipod! I know you can pry these things apart. I want to replace the casing for the 3G...

i wish apple would make a firmware version that actually worked for the new ipods. That would be great.

So far, i've had my iPod for about a week now. I love this thing!I would like to see, however, a more accurate battery meter and a better charging monitor system. Reading or judging how much battery you have left is kinda like judging how much gas you have left in your car when the gas guage is...

File this under "Totally Frivolous":When I my brother was 15 or so, he cobbled together two soda bottle bottoms with a battery-powered radio. This whole assembly fit into my pillow so I could fall asleep to the classical radio station.Enter, the "iSleep Pillow"! A nice, fluffy pillow with integrat...

Someone else has probably said this, if not why not?? The iPod is a cutting edge gadget, no doubt about it. Apple design is meant to lead the way, innovate. If you ask me, they missed the boat with the third generation. They really should have gone totally wireless. Integrated bluetooth, separa...

change the remote material - metal looks cool but tuck it in the pouch with the pod and you'll wake up next morning with a scarred baby apple

i want to be able to take my pod away with me for a couple of weeks - dump loads on new tunes on B4 i go then work it out by the pool

.

ok please please let me be able to associate the end of one playlist to the start of another - again so no more getting the pod out

pretty please: how about being able to change playlists via the inline remote - no more having to get ipod out, unlock it, fiddle around, catch the eye of the local mugger etc... otherwise i'm going to have to start selling 'iMug' t-shirts on here

What I'd like to see in future software updates is being able to browse for composers in certain genres, e.g if it's a classical composer you're after, you go to the Composers section, click on Classical and there you are. It saves having to scroll down the list until you find a clas...

This has probably been mentioned thousands of times, but I didn't see it in the first couple of pages so...Shortern the d*mn headphone wires already! Nobody could possibly have a torso long enough to require the majority of the length they put on that sucker...even without the remote's ad...

Which feature would you like to see in next gen ipods? *This is just a for-fun topic and does not imply that these features will exist* :D

I am sick of the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" message. I feel like telling my 15 GB iPod "Hey, watch your attitude man, i spent 400 bucks on you!" I think a major improvement would be to have a music/firewire toggle. A small switch built into a new iPod dock would switch between the connection to the comp...

The shuffle is good, but what about being able to shuffle by artist?

One thing that I find annoying about the iPod is the backlight system.Firstly, to put the backlight on you have to go to settings, and then scroll down a few places, click on backlight and scroll some more. This is all very difficult in the dark (which is surely the most common time when you turn yo...

The one feature I currently want to see most is gapless playback. When I playback my live albums there is always a little gap/skip in between tracks. Can Apple not just take out that small space? Would it help if the iPod buffered more? I don't know. I just know that I really want to be able to...

I would like an option to put the Ipod into mono output mode. I listen to my Ipod using only the left ear piece. When I am home I use two speakers, so reencoding to mono would spoil my listening besides I have 200 Gigs of MP3. This should be an easy to do software feature.

Hey, this is my wish...one and only, hopefully apple will hear my cry.If you are listening to songs at random out of your whole song list, and you hear a track you really love and want to hear more by the artist or off that album, you should be able to get there easily. When listening to a song, you...

I dont currently own a case for my ipod, but I would definatley get one which had a good way of holding my iTrip at the same time. (Like the iSee can hold your earphones). I'd like to take my itrip around with me everywhere because you never know when it will come in handy.

Hi, I'm a newbie here, so please forgive me if this topic has been posted before by somebody else. Here we go...I'm a chiptune fanatic, I really love .mod, .med, .s3m, .it and other tracker formats. Since a handeld player for such formats does not exist yet and the iPod has enough processi...

1. Ability to delete a song from the on-the-go. 2. Ability to save the on-the-go.3. Ability to add/edit contacts.4. Ability to add/edit appointments.5. Fix the backlight so it doesn't shut off when turned on manually (and backlight setting is 'always off')6. Adjust the mp3 volume leve...

I would just fall over and die happy if they released something like this. It kills me to go on vacation and run out of room on my digi camera flash cards and sitting right next to me is my iPod with gigs of space. I can't imagine something like this would be too hard to make given the 3rd ge...

Having to touch and hold a button for 3 seconds is getting a bit tiresome. The hold switch should have a third setting: Off/On/Hold.

Instead of visualizations, crossfading. and blue button lights, how about waterproofing (or water resist) the ipod?Also, how about something like ver2.0 for us gen2 ipods, dammit! It's one thing to buy a computer and have it no longer be top-of-the-line in 6 months, but releasing a new ipod on...

I recently read an article about the Ipod in the New York Post, which mentioned a weekly party in NYC where 2 iPods are used to create a "mixing console". It said that there is a rumor that Apple is working on either software on a new version which allows tracks (MP3 or AAC) to be mixed on an iPod....

What about a function to delete songs? I always have a lot of bad encoded, cutted or noisy songs and always realise it when I?m on the go. I want delete this songs in the moment I hear. Days later back on my PC I?ve forgotten all I want delete. I could use the "on the go" playlist to bookmark the...

I own a new 30Gb iPod and am already thinking I'll fill it up in about a month once I finish ripping my CD collection.One of my mates is harping on about the MStation, see the link if you've not seen one yet.Tech Watch Website ( http://www.techwatch.com.au/reviews/hardware/mstation_portable...

Why is it the ONLY button that the unit has and the remote does not?

I don't know if you can do this now, but it would be nice to be able to control your iPod whilst it is plugged into the dock through the firewire connection to your computer.Meaning, if on a mac, it would be nice to use iTunes to play music thru the sound out port on the dock.I have my dock sou...

i think the crossfade feature would make the ipod the ultimate portable jukebox. i'm a sound engineer for my college and i use the ipod to play music pre/post events and i prefer having a continuous music feed.

I think it would be very convenient if they had a volume knob and the track skip buttons on the side of the case so that they can be used while still in the case on your belt negating even the need for the remote.

I think a remote display with basic control buttons would be great for the iPod in my car. Maybe it could be something I could mount on the dash or near my car stereo so I can see what is playing etc... Maybe the display could even have different colored covers to allow it to blend in with the dash...
