I know I use winamp to put my music on the IPod. It's kind of clunky doing it, but it works. OH yeh, did I tell you that ITunes has a fit, because it thinks I put music on it from another computer. Now if and when I get the new nano, I'm going to do alot of trying out. Will I use winamp or ITunes to put music on it? I might try that site sometime.

I have the therd gen of the IPod nano and winamp v5.5..41. It's how you use the lbrary in winamp. First you need to install the portible  player section of the library. Next, I would suggest that you make a playlist and add it to winamp's library. Forgot what the exzack command, but you will want to tell winamp to send it to the IPod. I think there is a send to button. I haven't done it in a few weeks, and I don't know rather or not it will work with the new nanos. After all it isn't ITunes. Sorry about being vaig for the min.

When you are install winamp, there is a treeview of sorts of check boxes. There is a library in this treeview. open that branch and you will find it listed. check it along with anything else that you want installed like the CD ripping thing. Now if you are finished with the setup and wondering where the portable section is then control tab over to the library and tab in to the treeview. Then you start hitting P until you get to it.

I must worn you though, if you want the spoken word thing, then your best bet is to use ITune.

SLJ, THere's just 1 problem. as far As I can guess, when you transfer the music itunes updates the speech files.
so, say you have 3 files. recording001 recording002 and recording003. you enable the talking menus and the 3 files are spoken. you transfer a 4th file named track11, with winamp for example. now the Ipod doesn't announce it.
