i no i can't us the newer ipods and the ipod mini cos they need to sync with itunes or whatever to load the songs on and get it to work, but i was wondering since the nano is a flash memeory based does that mean i can just plug it into the usb socket and the computer will recognise it as like a mass storage device, or will i still have to sync it with itunes?

That sucks ass. you'd think apple would have made it like a mass storage device so it'll work on any system. hell its flash memory based, i mean okay i can understand with a hdd in the ipod it might be less easier to do but with flash memory its a piece of piss. all my old mp3 players were mass storage and they all work on os 9 even though most of them only ever were listed as being compatible with windows.
