Hi Aaron,

My apologies -- what I said was incorrect.

My recollection was that if you chose a song from the "Song" menu instead of the "Album" menu, it would stop after one song, but I just tried that now and it seems I was mistaken. You do actually need to set up a playlist for each song in order to do what you want.

The iPod's headphone jack is very good, as far as consumer electronics go -- and of course, there also the option of digital output from the dock connector. The quality of that output will obviously depend on the quality of the dock/connector you use. Probably you can get a dock or connector with RCA outputs (which would likely be preferable to using an analogue adapter from the headphone jack). I have Apple's basic dock and I can't detect any difference between the audio output on that and the audio output on the iPod itself.

Cheers,

- Darcy

Yes, I do mean that. I have been unable to find this on my Nano 3G, and I've also seen it discussed elsewhere as a shortcoming of the iPod. If you have different info, could you please share? It's quite possible I'm missing the blindingly obvious.

Do you get better results from the headphone jack, or from something that plugs into the dock connector? I have seen differing opinions.

I did in the past see players with RCA outputs, which would be preferable in my case. (Yes, I know I can also get a patch cable to go from headphone jack to RCA.)

Thanks,
Aaron.
