Thanks again for getting me oriented. I just got an iPod 30 gig as a
gift and want to stop using my Rio Cali player. I do intend to make
future purchases from iTunes. I just need to convert the files on my
computer to a format that can be somehow uploaded into the iPod. I'll
take a look at your suggested software. Any other ideas would be
appreciated.
