  Amazing recipe.
  
  You mention that files could get corrupted a couple of times; however, am I right in believing that the files on the ipod itself are never changed and therefore do not have a chance of corruption?
  
  I can see how in the copy process that a music file coule potentially get corrupted in the transfer. Maybe.
  
  If the files are being just read of the iPOD and not editted, I am not sure how they have chance of harm.
  
  Sorry, I am not an ipod person but doesn't that make sense?

  theoretically that should be the case... but for some reason (happened when i tested one of my friends iPods.. oops) The data can become corrupted on the iPod. It shouldn't affect the OS, i was able to remove and re-add the problematic files, and the second attempt worked just fine as it has with mine several times.
  Could have been a freak accident or placement of the iPod.. but it can happen so i just make sure that no matter how quick someone reads this, they are aware of the possibility :)
  
  I would imagine on the iPod Shuffle, with no moving parts, this would not be possible, similar to a usb key/flash drive, etc.

  Nice one. Absolutely no help whatsoever. No edit/preferences button and disk use nowhere to be seen either.

  Nice it works... But does this method keep my play counts intact?
