I've got an Ipod Video which I use in my car connected to the head unit through the Kenwood adaptor.
Anyway, I quite fancy an Ipod touch to use everyday so I can just leave my other Ipod in the car permanently.
Question is, can I use 2 ipods with Itunes or does it just synch the same stuff to both? I'd quite like to have more vids etc on the Ipod touch and less of my music. Is this possible?

I'm pretty sure the answer is a resounding YES, but give me 2 mins and I'll confirm it for you...

Just need to update 'manually' as opposed to automatically which is the default setting.

Confirmed...



You can indeed have two iPods (probably more than that as well) connected to iTunes at the same time, or independantly.

Personally I'd set them both to manually manage music, that way you have complete control over what goes on there.

An alternative would be to have two playlists, one for the current iPod, and another for the iPod Touch. You then add the music you want on each iPod to the appropriate playlist, then you configure iTunes to auto sync the specific playlist agains the specific iPod.

Or get Anapod and ditch the POS that is iTunes

Cheers for that, think i'll go for it!

p.s. I actually quite like iTunes but i'll take a look at Anapod

One advantage to Anapod is that you can copy music *from* your iPod to your computer, something iTunes does not allow.

Having said that though, I do recall there being some change for the new iPods (new Nano, Classic and Touch) that stops this feature from working. I've not looked into it as I don't have a new iPod so it does not worry me. I'm sure the Anapod site will mention if this is an issue or not though.

Floola is also good and free, anapod isn't.

Ok, i've had a look at the Anapod site. It doesn't list the Ipod Touch in the list of devices it supports and it's 30 bucks.
Floola looks ok but not good enough to steer me away from Itunes. Thanks anyway

Is Anapod available via Torrents?

bugeyeandy

Possibly but if it was any good i'd buy it at £15. Not worth the risk when the Ipod touch isn't listed as supported.
