Ah..I gotcha now. I guess I'm in the unusual position of having more music than my ipod (or the mygig) would ever hold.

 

I've tried this also. I enabled disc mode and when I plug the iPod into the USB port, all I get is "iPod control file" and nothing in it.

 

since most folks rip their cd's to itunes as aac files instead of mp3s, your library is probably full of aac and protected aac files. you can use itunes to convert your aac files to mp3, but to convert protected aac files, you'll need an aftermarket program (free download off the net) that removes the copy protection. then you can convert these files to mp3 as well.

after they're all converted, i use a memory stick to upload to the mygig.

 

What program is this and where can I find it?

Another consideration - perhaps those of you having problems are using Macintosh formatted iPods? The hard drive format varies depending on if you set it up on a PC or a Mac.

Just a thought! I run both Macs (laptops) and PC's, but I keep my format PC for convenience and use of disk mode.
