Ipods sure waste your time

I went and bought an 80GB Ipod at Costco yesterday. The price was actually 10 dollars more than what B&H charges, but the return policy at Costco is what made me get there. I got home and started to install it. The machine needs the latest version of ITunes, 7.0.2 in this case, and can be downloaded from Apple.com. I downloaded the ITunes Installer and proceeded to run the application. There was the first problem. After the ITunes application downloaded I got a message that Windows Installer was no good and thus would not install the ITunes program. So I sit there with this new machine not being able to use it. I went to another computer that had very little of the content I wanted to upload and there it worked just fine. So, at least I got it to work a bit. I then went back to the original computer and finally did what any clueless computer technician worth his salt would do: I googled the error message and found the solution. I then finished installing ITunes and started to add folders from My computer into the ITunes folder.

The machine still doesn't run Vi Es Darf Tzu Zein. I get an error (-50) message that the IPod could not sync photo folders that I added. Also, the folder "Heichel Haneginah," the Tshureh from Heichel Menachem this year 19 Kislev, loaded onto the Ipod but "Cannot be found" on ITunes. So if I want to play the tunes from the computer I can't. It also takes forever to copy CD's onto ITunes, RealPlayer, I noticed, does a much quicker job at copying to My Library. Spending Hours loading this little Tcachke is not what I had in mind when I bought it, but I guess it goes with the territory. Der Ikker is that no longer must I be able to hold a Sefer on those long commutes to work, something not always possible. I can now just stick those little IBuds in my ears and listen. Time flies when you're in DVeykus Land.
