Default Two (hopefully) easy ipod questions

Did a quick search, but couldn't see any questions the same as these!

1. Can you copy your iTunes directory onto two computers? I have just received a Nano and would like to run it at work and from home.....Is this an easy thing to do?

2. Should a black Nano be supplied with black or white earphones? Mine came with white, but it looks a little strange with them.

Thanks, Nick.

Don't have an Ipod so can't answer the earphones thing, although you should replace them anyway with Sennheiser PMX 40's or 60's.

As for Itunes, I have read it's a bit of a bind and a bit buggy so many people are using 3rd party software such as -

Now in return all I require in return is some info on the Prodrive new shape Legacy exhaust, when and how much?

Unfortunately all Nanos do come with white headphones.

Bu66er! I'll have to go and buy a decent pair then (in black!).

Thanks, Nick.

Sorry, you'll have to be more helpful with my question regarding using iTunes on two different computers first (don't really want to use different software).

Thanks, Nick.

Why do you need it on the work computer? Could you not just plug the headphones into the ipod and use it standalone if it is a problem?

Anyway, I use mine at work all the time (as well as at home). If I want to copy stuff to it (or use itunes), I just connect it to the pc, and can see the ipod library in itunes with no problem. I just made sure that when installing the ipod software, I entered the same serial number on both machines. Seems to work fine...

Now that's a helpful response

The honest answer is that I may not need the software on both machines, I just wanted to know if it is possible.

Thanks, Nick.

Why not just plug the iPod in on both machines? Saves copying files across if you update on Library and not the other.

If you do want to have the same Library on two machines then make sure iTunes does not auto-synch your iPod and use some third party software (I use Podworks on the Mac) to copy the music from the iPod onto the hard drive. All you then have to rememebr is to copy over new songs when you update either Library.
