Searched all over the net, but still looking for more, Anybody know of any good places on the net to buy iPod video skins or cases?

The one that comes with its fine. You can still use the scroll wheel with it on to.

[fedorov#91 0]

There are many cases out for the 5G but almost none in the stores. The agent 18 is nice but its frosted except for the screen and it scratches. There is the iskin evo3 which is nice. I just picked up a case at bestbuy which was the zcover. It was the only silicone case they had and I liked it because it was very simple. Contour makes a completly clear hardcase.

Heres some links:

iSkin

Agent 18

zCover

It is nice, remember its frosted though and has a very open bottom that can be a plus or a neg.

Yes. I'll put pics of video running off the nano when apple decides to replace my screen. But i'll just leave you with Beavis & Butthead running on my 4G. :)

How do you put Linux on an iPod?

[Jbone 0]

I found this.

http://win98.drivers.w.interia.pl/ipod.html

It allows you to use an iPod on a Windows 98 computer.

Could come in handy for some of you if your looking to buy one but can't because of having Windows 98.

[EBondo 233]

How do you put Linux on an iPod?

Same here, specifically for the nano. What version would I have to d/l?

Question: What's the fastest way to assign cd covers to albums for iTunes and subsequently a 5th gen iPod? I'm using the "double click to play each song, then right click and paste image into album slot after copying an image" method. And with about 1200 songs, I don't want to spend a month doing this.

Thanks in advance. I just finished my Metallica (non live) collection, took about 20 minutes. Ick.

[2-Keys 1]

like so the album cover shows up on your ipod screen when the songs playing? if so click on the first song in the album and then hold shift and click on the last song in the album. then insert the picture. im not sure if this wiilll help.

Select the album you want to give album art to, right-click get info, and they will be a place to drop the album art in.

[Project_2501 0]

Works. The other guy had it right too. I just didn't see the artwork section.

Well, I just took 40 minutes of my time and did my whole 1300 song collection. Much quicker this way.

[Jbone 0]

Yea but know you got to wait for like 1 hour and a half to put them all on. That's what sucks.
