Sudden USB failure

Don't have these issues with using a flash drive

Is that a question about iPods Jimmy?

Well, it really wasn't a question, just a statement. I've read more than one thread with issues using an I-Pod. Just am at a loss as to what advantage there is in using an I-pod. Other than adding music, my flash drive stays in the bag. If something were to happen to it, it isn't that expensive to replace.

I understand your point, Jimmy...however....
If one has a Sound Company, (Semper Fi Sound, LLC) and does DJ work, and one has a Numark mixer that uses dual-ing iPods and all one's music (29,000 songs) is already in iTunes to accommodate the business, and since using iTunes "sort of" ensures no copy write/stolen music issues (protects the company), why would I go through the pain to get all my music in .wav format?

And I find .mp3 format usually unsuitable due to compression and poor sampling rate - unless I did it myself, but then, if I needed non Apple format, I would use .wav.
Hope that answers the mail!
