When the ipod or ipod nano is connected to your PC initially, it identifies the computer as “home” computer.Thus every time you connect, your ipod will automatically download the music stored in on the PC. Try connecting it with a different computer. The moment you do it, your ipod will tell you that it is connected to a computer that is different from the home computer and will ask you if you are interested in removing its contents and link it with the music library of the new computer.
You can link more than one ipod with your PC. Every ipod provides an exclusive identification code to your computer with which you can derive the benefit of automatic transfer of music to the ipod even if you share the computer with another individual using ipod.
The design of all ipods and ipod nanos is suited to the active lifestyle of people with busy schedules. You can carry them in your hand or put into the pocket even while walking, jogging or running.
iPods come with different sizes of storage facilities. The storage capacities vary from 512 MB to 80 GB. However, what amount of music that your ipod will be able to hold will depend on the rate of compression of your songs. For instance, twenty GB is a little more than 5000 four-minute songs, or more than 500 CDs. If you have more music than the capacity of your ipod, you will have to update it manually.
