heh, need to fill it the rest of the way
so does it show up like a HD like my current sansa does? I have plenty of non DRM mp3s... just needa find a bigger solution for carrying it with me and of course something for the bike. I might have a rather lengthy ride ahead of me this summer on the bike (vs in the truck) so I'm just trying to plan ahead.
yep - it acts like a plain old usb2 disk too (although in order to put music on it you have to go through the itunes app - it doesn't matter if it's purchased or not, its just the way it works)
On the bike I just put it on shuffle and throw it in my jacket; works perfect.

ahhh grasshoppah... I remember those days well...
lemmie know when you catch up... I just aquired another 150GB from another DJ buddy... brings the total up to 950GB. I gotta get another external drive on order to back all this shid up
Ok, Thanks got that. Now he tells me he's got about a dozen more pieces on mom's laptop that he bought on his I Tunes acc't using her computer.
Guess that he couldn't get those to download on to the Nano previously and can't get them on to the I Touch either. Is that the file protection PITA you speak of? Anyway around that? Many thanks for the help so far. I can now steal his Nano with a clear conscience.

daaaaammmn!
call us in five years when you've gotten through it all

Sorry, I was enjoying a bubblebath.
Did you find it? File Transfer Wizard
start > programs > Accessories > System Tools > File and Settings Transfer Wizard
Write it all to cd, trust me.
then put it on your machine, all or some.
this will enable you to put purchased music on more than one computer.
O
outtahand
in a word ... YES
And I dont know of a way around it but I'm sure there is one...
File Transfer Wizard.
Is there an echo in here?

yeah seriously... I started by sayin to a buddy that is a pro dj "ya know, how bad would it suck to loose that case" his response "you have no f'in idea" so I suggested he make digital backups of all of it and of course I would hold an "off site backup" for him
... first pass 4500 cds or ~280GB. I took the time to catalog that one for him but the other additions and DJ buddies I convinced to digitally back up their music, I was like fug that noise I can search for it Kinda nice to have, if its not recent like 2008 forward and I dont have it, i dont need it

a few ways, but since it's only a dozen or so songs, here's the easiest way:
1 - on the laptop iTunes, make a playlist of the songs that he bought.
2 - burn a CD of the playlist.
3 - rip that CD into his itunes on his computer.
he'll probably have to manually enter song info on the ripped songs, but the good thing is that the tracks will be completely stripped of file protection.
last thing - after you've done this:
- on the laptop go to itunes. Under the "Store" file menu, select "deauthorize computer" - if he doesn't use the laptop for music and purchases, there's no need to tie up an authorization (you get 5) on that computer.

the thought of ripping 4500 cds is giving me a headache..
he should start djing with traktor or something like that. That much physical music is a lot of stuff to carry...
yeah, he has some kinda dj software but sometimes you just gotta have the media
which btw in the metal case is about 140lbs :O
