*streeeeetches*

Well so much for my energetic day - The Unit Season 2 arrived this morning :D That's my day fully booked! *giggles*

I spent yesterday evening playing with the iPod. First of all, the bad news - I had to delete everything [livejournal.com profile] halcyon_shift installed. Seems because she used a Mac to configure it, it refused to play with my PC until the factory settings were restored. Wouldn't let me download anything off the iPod either. However, there's good news! [livejournal.com profile] halcyon_shift is saving all the files and putting them onto DVD for me so I can re-install the stuff from my PC in the future. Yay! And [livejournal.com profile] nmalfoy is making me some mix cds of great music so I can add those at some point in the future. Eeeee!

Now, are there any iPod users on my flist? Preferably PC users? I just want to find out if you have problems getting stuff from iTunes to the iPod? I used sync but I don't like it because it doesn't let me edit anything afterwards. And if you switch to manual sync, it bloody deletes everything you just downloaded. Stupid system! What am I missing out on here? Also. in manual sync, I couldn't figure out HOW to get the bloody stuff onto the iPod. I could see albums in my library but it wouldn't let me drag and drop 'em onto the iPod UNTIL i created a playlist, THEN it let me. *shakes head* Yes, I have a manual but it's not terribly helpful, so any advice?

Rob got a present this morning too - a new fleece cat blanket. I wanted something smarter and easier to wash to put on the sofa. If it works well, I'll order some more so I can rotate them. Now I'm just waiting for his new cat bed to arrive. Oh I hope he likes it, it'll make life easier when I get rid of the old sofa that he likes to hide behind. I'm hoping the cave like cat bed will give him somewhere else to retreat to *crosses fingers he takes to it*

And now I have tea and disc 1 is in the PC. Must go, these DVDs won't watch themselves y'know *happy*

Er, sorry, I've not tried syncing from my PC to my iPod other than by adding stuff to the library and then syncing the library across. I hate iTunes, though, so I'm probably not much help ;)

While I think about it, have you ever read Martin Millar's _The Good Faeries Of New York_? Let me know, if not.
