    Congrats on the purchase. I'm waiting for the "Real" video iPod to come out before I upgrade.

    Just a note on the iPod updater. Did you chose Restore or Upgrade? Restore will wipe out your songs, Upgrade won't. I've never lost songs when I upgraded my iPod. Just a thought.

    I am pretty sure I clicked Update and not Restore but it was my first time so I might have made a mistake. Next time there is an update I'll see if it was the software or my finger slipping.

    And what do you mean by the "Real" video iPod?

    Apple has to come out with an iPod where Video is a main function. Widescreen, maybe speakers, more storage etc. I'm guessing the next version of the iPod will be something that is more video capable and not just an "add-on".

    I hear what you're saying about the click wheel. One of the things I love about my 30GB iPod Photo is that I can adjust volume, play, pause, advance tracks, etc. through the fabric of my shirt pocket.

    Regarding keeping certain songs off your Nano, this is quite easy to do. In iTunes you'll notice a checkbox to the left of each track. Uncheck any you never want on the Nano and then check the preferences. I forget exactly where but probably on the iPod tab is an option to only sync checked tracks. You can use Ctrl-click to have all checkboxes in the current window toggle along with the one you're clicking.
