Hey All,First off, got my Green mini on Friday at the Apple Store... Love it to death.Now to the question. With the Griffin iTrip frequency playlist it dumps on the iPod, is there any way of making them not playable during shuffle mode? It's not a big deal, but I'd rather not have to be...

Got the mini last night. I already had the 10gb G3 'pod, but it wasn't any good at the gym...I'd get perhaps 17 minutes of running and it would freeze up. The mini works great! No freezes for the whole workout with the armband mount. It's just what I want...plenty of space fo...

I see a lot of people worried about damaging their new minis, so I thought it might be a good idea to post some general tips, and things to avoid doing that may cause damage. I should say that my mini is damage-free after almost a week. :)? Don't slide the mini in and out of the armband and...
Hey guys! I don't think I've actually introduced myself yet...so hi!Turns out i was the first kid in CT to by an ipod mini. Well, I've never owned an ipod, so my questions that I ask may sound quite dumb. I'm really happy to FINALLY be on the board!! My mom and dad just let...
I dont know anyway to organize my playlists, other than Genre what else is there to do? seriously I need help because when Im in the car and dont wanna hear a song thats on the random button or go in direct order, I want variety but dont know how. someone help
Hey\\Sure this has been mentioned, but a search on these forums produced nothing, so I'll give it a quick shot...In the Apple store the other day, looking at the iPod mini, I realized that under the playlist menu *I believe*, there were changes versus the iPod...the list included things such as...
Hi, i was wondering other than apple stores, what big retailers are carring the the ipod mini and actually have them? I only have a Circuit CIty near me that does and they have no idea when. All the others, like Best Buy or Target, are a while away. Just curious which ones actually carry em befor...
Hello all!I am new to the ipod world, and I awaiting my new ipod mini (green) to be shipped.I am getting ready to dump all my mp3's and I have a few questions. I am sure theseare covered everywhere, but I couldn't seem to find it.- I am running on a PC, w/ a 30 gig external drive with all...
Hi Has anyone in the UK/Europe had any experiences of getting it off ebay. There's lots of guys saying "In stock in the UK" but i'm dubious how they can get it so quickly to the UK ? What about import tax, Any comment ? Thanks Mark
iTunes will automatically make a playlist that fits the Mini, but I propose a more advanced--but low-effort--method for providing access to a collection larger than the Mini's 4GB. The key is that in iTunes Preferences you can choose MUTLIPLE playlists to auto-synch, while excluding others. I d...
Anyone out here likes the click wheel surface? I think iPod plastcy surface is much better, at least its a bit easier to clean it up. Today I touched iPod mini surface with ketsup on my finger because I was eating pizza the surface is smeared ketsup and it seems the surface is like a cloth (I really...

Hi, right straight to the point. Is the iPod mini a hard drive or a CF drive. I may be wrong but I thought that a hard drive had moving parts whereas a CF card did not. If it is a hard drive it would skip when exercising etc. If it is a CF card it would have no moving parts and never skip. Could som...
whats the best way to take it out?
I have often told people that the single, absolute coolest "gadget" I have ever purchased in my life was an iPod. I still stand by that, but I gotta tell you - the mini is right up there.If they can keep this size and stay with this wheel design (and, of course, get the capacity up to a reasonable...
I have a 10G PC iPod. I rip and compress my CDs using EAC and load them to the 'pod via EphPod. I'm very happy with the quality this offers.I'm getting the impression that this won't work for the mini, however. If I use iTunes for the mini, will I have to use it for the big as...
I would be interested to see a speed transfer test between the iPod and the iPod mini. I'm curious if the 4GB compact flash is faster then the laptop HD. Try to write and copy a CD image to both and see who finishes first.
So whats the capacity of iPod mini battery? mAh?

Hi i dont have the ipod mini yet but my girlfriend told me that she is going to buy me one next month. So i starte to organize my music and I want to know if there is a good program to organize music that people who had ipod used.
I just bought a new ipod mini and i was wondering if i could use downloaded music? i downloaded some songs off kazaa lite. Will they work ok?
So the dilemma is somewhere between getting the mini now or waiting until a 6 or 8GB version is available? Anybody hear of rumors? Or can almost definitely say that the larger drives will be coming out (and how long)? Thanks in advance.

My god i've been trying for two days solid to order an ipod mini and have it delivered to europe but its #### impossible - please someone help - i'll grant you three wishes! Mitch
Like many of you, I brought my iPod mini (silver) home last Friday evening. Since then, I've had it with me practically non-stop, save the time that I've had to charge it.Well on Saturday, I did a really stupid thing. I was leaving my bedroom, and grabbed for the doorknob with the same han...
i got to thinking after seeing ipodlounge's photos of the mini dissected. the 4gb compact flash from what i read appears to be able to seperate enough that it can be used in a compact flash device, does this mean also it is reversible so that i could stick a 512mb flash card in there and it wo...
Hey - I was just wondering. I have a 354MB microdrive and it's a flash memory card. The 4gig one that's in the minis, is that a flash card too? Becuase if it was, it would be totally skip proof and be better on the battery. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks
I just got an iPod mini at 6:00 on the 20th. When I opened the box and turned the mini on... the battery was charged (not completely, but it was). Did this happen to u guys?? Is it normal?? :confused:

I already have a 10GB 3G iPod, but I have a mini on the way. Will I have to install software off of the CD that comes with it? Or can I just plug it in? And if so, it won't mess with any of my current iPod settings will it?
Have many of you mini owners done some battery tests?? Ive heard a few people get over 8 hours. Can anyone confirm this?

i've read that the mini comes with a usb 2 cable that can charge the battery. also, i presume that the dock connection is the same for both minis and 3g iPods since there are dock-connector accessories that work for both. so, if you own or have access to both a mini and a 3g iPod, could you t...

Hi there, I've ordered the Ipod Mini Silver via a friend of mine in the US. I live in the Netherlands. I heard that it comes with multiple languages in the software. Like dutch,etc. Is this true ?
So I've finally convinced my mom to let me get an ipod but I don't know which one to get. I either want an ipod mini or the 15GB regular ipod. I think I could easily fill up the ipod mini so I guess I should get the other one. But the minis are just so cute! Also this may be a really dumb...

Looking at all the minis, I have no idea how the colors look in real life. I'm one of those people out in the middle of nowhere with no Apple Store within a 100-mile radius. Could people post some pictures of their different colored minis? I've looked at many different threads and most of...
What kind of wire do I need to hook up my iPod Mini to the aux input in my truck? Does it depend on the stereo itself?
I got my mini yesterday (love it!) and the desktop icon is silver (mac OSX). I got a silver mini so that's perfect, but I was wondering if the other colors have icons to match their minis.

Did anyone buy a mini dock or armband? if so how do you like them. Worth the money?
Howdy, Is the Mini packaged with Itunes, and if so, what version? :)
Hey guys,Just ordered two, (blue and gold) for my wife and I. Being in the Marine Corps, I was able to get the federal gov't discount. Definitely helped! They ended up to be $224 each and even got a $2 discount on the iTrip. Looking forward to getting it...it should definitely come in handy dur...
I just got my mini this morning and love it. I got an iTrip thinking that it would be easy to hook up, not the case. After finding a blank station I would play the mp3 for that frequency, hit play then it displays red and then I go to play an mp3 and it doesn't work! Can somebody give me ins...

I now own the mini, and I'm really happy with it. Actually 10/10 satisfied with it.I am no soothsayer, but I soothsay anyway: the mini is going to be a BIG hit with all demographics, but especially with the target groups as planned by Apple--geeks, girls, teens, commuters who live by subway/bu...
