You helped me out wonderfully. Often I look for a complicated way to provide a solution, and this is one example of "it's so easy!" I have jumped onto some questions and tried to help too. I did get some songs that somehow came over into my "video" list on the Ipod, so I will tackle that problem tomorrow. Just random stuff off my library, but so far I am doing well. I did purchase "Ipods for Dummies" and learned some neat stuff. The book only goes up to Ipod4, but twill be interesting to see how fast they get Ipod5 out. Thx again!! Happy New Year
