Hi Orac/Jerricho,
Have'nt actually got the Ipod yet, hence the confusion. My daughter is getting one at the W/E and had asked me the question.
Jerricho, I had read something about that and that is what I had in mind when asking about an alternative programme that could overcome this problem.
Orac, thanks for the link . Will check it out.
Regards
Willby
P.S. On re-reading your post Jerricho, can this problem be overcome by simply not selecting auto-update?
