OK, so I have an ipod question. It's time for me to format my ipod and reinstall all my music and podcasts and all the rest, cause my ipod is a mess. I'll probably also set it to automatically sync...
oh, right. i was really describing how it would work if you were to just attach the hard drive to her computer and use that to sync.
syncing itunes with a removable hard drive isn't really the best way to do it, unfortunately. itunes is very fragile when it comes to tracking the physical files.
and letting itunes analyze all the songs for gapless playback and song volume is going to take FOREVER on a usb drive. that's just torture. unless you've already done it somewhere. if it's completed on your laptop, just sync it with usb 1.1 on there and let it go overnight like you said.
