LifeÂhackÂer has assemÂbled a great list that will help you maxÂiÂmize the use of your iPod. Here, they point you to free softÂware that will let you 1) rip a DVD to your iPod, 2) copy music and videos to and from your iPod, and also from and to any comÂputÂer, 3) load videos (and parÂticÂuÂlarÂly YouTube videos) to you iPod, 4) put Wikipedia on your iPod, 5) free yourÂself from using iTunes, 6) backÂup your iPod, etc.
Check out the full list here and learn to make your iPod a betÂter learning/entertainment tool.
PS: A very simÂiÂlar list of iPod tips was pubÂlished a few days ago over at Pachecus.com, and they were kind of enough to include a link to one of our old feaÂtures. Have a look here too.
What I would like to see is some realÂly good softÂware that lets me manÂage podÂcasts for my non-ipod! (And don’t say Juice — it’s a lemon!) Itunes puts everyÂthing into a foldÂer called “podÂcasts” whether it is an audio book or a news artiÂcle, resortÂing it and re-tagÂging is a painful proÂceÂdure. I use WinÂdows Media playÂer but this can be rather quirky. If not tagged corÂrectÂly it gets jumÂbled when moved onto my SanÂdisk Sansa.
