hey Esther, thankie! <smile> -I just wasn't quite clear on the
note. Ya know, email can be weird that way sometimes. lol!
Have you by chance, set a hotspot for the status area or the scroll
area for monitoring IPod memory usage?… (the darned name is eluding
me right now! lol! -Finally getting sleepy! -this is a good
thing!) :)
Anyway, have a great night!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi Cara,
Nope, I didn't mean to imply you were challenging him, I was just
expanding on what I thought David was enthusing over. There's
nothing in the manuals -- or in the basic set up instructions for
that matter -- that requires anybody to check the Player Status
window in iTunes, and the storage space statistics you mention are
on the iPod Summary page. If you didn't know this information was
being reported, and that download information status about the
attached iPod device, as well as about any tracks you are currently
playing in iTunes, was displayed in this window, would you think to
look there? (Well, in your case, the answer is probably yes <grin>,)
I know that David was tracking the sync progress, because I repeated
the information about what he should hear reported (if he did a VO-
up arrow twice from the iPod's status pages) in the exchanges about
possible trouble-shooting. I don't know whether most people want to
monitor this stuff, though.
For that matter, I don't know that most people would want to get the
LineIn app from Rogue Amoeba so they could plug their iPod Nano 4G
into the line-in jack of their Mac and route the sound output to
their speakers. It was kind of cool to crank the output volume up
and listen to things whirr while the sync took place and when I ran
the software update. I probably won't make a habit of that <smile>.
Cheers,
Esther
P.S. To keep up with the sync progress status updates you should
move your VoiceOver cursor on and off the Player Status window
(e.g. VO-left and VO-right), since you'll only hear the window
update and report status at the time you move into it.

David's right, though, that you can use the Player Status window
in iTunes to monitor the status of the sync as it is in progress
-- you can hear when the spoken titles are generated and what
songs are being downloaded in between the iPod sync messages.
There's no need to sit around twiddling your thumbs and wonder
what's going on up to the point where you hear the iPod speak --
and then you hear the "iPod" announced as soon as the sync is
completed.
Cheers,
Esther

<smile> You can even watch your storage space change in real
time! -Of course, if that sort of thing gets ya off! lol!
Seriously though, I agree, I absolutely love the progress / level
of access that has just happened here over night as it were.
yes, there are a couple of things I'd like to see, but I'm super
impressed!
Smiles,
Cara :)

For those who may fear it, the IPod snc process is quite
accessible. I've
heard and followed the instructions on how to select plalists
and such, but
what was really nice was tracking the sync process to its end.
