Binocs, Am not a computer expert like most of the bods in here seem to be. I found the Ipod software very straightforward. You can import your music folder into Ipods and it will be labeled the same way it is in that Folder. Also when you put a music CD into your computer that you want to transfer onto your Ipod, if you are connected to the Net, it will look up the CD content and label it all for you, which saves loads of typing. It really is pretty slick and easy to use.
