ok i have a copy of xplay which i will happily pass on to anyone but does anyone know where i can get the serial number for it. another thing what do i do when i keep getting the message ipod file corrupted please run chck disk utility.After seeing this message my ipod does not update anymore meaning i can't delete or add songs. i want to restore factory settings but if something is corrupted will reseting it fix the problem or will it reappear again at a later point. One final thing how do i get my songs of my ipod to my hard drive so i do not lose all my songs that i have uploaded on to it. i deleted the copy from itunes as it made the program to slow. I agree with the above sentiments though i wish i got an iriver or the new sony (40 hour battery life- compared to my 6)
