Hey Anthony this is extremely helpful stuff...... many many thanks.Youve really
started me off now!Ive got a new player hopefully arriving in tomorrows(advance
mp3 pebble) post but Im gonna also install the update you suggest and that
article in the forum suggests.Its a pain in the butt not being able to load up
my daughters Ipod so I shall certainly go for it.Interesting and easy to follow
explanation in that forum.Looks like I would have to install a firewire
card.... can you suggest one? from pc world here in the uk!

Many thanks again

PS I agree with your final comments in your reply post.I too am getting cheesed
off with frigging microsoft!Billy boys forcing us to buy XP and I aint doing
that on this computer thats for sure!!
