Here's a question about using an iPod with a Windows PC:
I have a Windows 98 system with 1st generation USB as my primary computer (we have a newer, Windows Me system on the other desktop in our house, but that's not where my Mp3 files are).
The iPod specs say Windows Millenium or newer is required for the op system, and iPod has only Firewire, not USB.
Am I therefore out of luck on both counts, or is there a converter that solves my incompatibility problem, both in op system and connectivity for transferring files?
I know there's a program out there that served as a "bridge" for a Mac iPod to work with Windows PCs - anyone with experience who can share how well that worked?
