Hello all,
My roommate and I are going to be getting 4 Gig iPod Nano's soon.
I have a Pismo, so I'll be getting a PC card adapter that will give
my Pismo USB 2.0. As the new Nano doesn't have Firewire, using 1.1
with the 4 gig model would be so slow it might be unpractical. But
that's a simple solution for the Pismo. What can my roommate do
with his iBook? It's got two USB 1.1 ports and one firewire port.
There's no PC card slot as is the standard with iBooks. Is there
an adapter that can give the iBook (son of Pismo) a USB 2.0 port?
I've been looking, but have found nothing. Any ideas would be
helpful. And for those in the know. . . just how slow would it be
to transfer 4 gig worth of music using USB 1.1?
When I first filled my 1GB Shuffle via USB1.1 it took an hour or
so...I didn't pay too close attention, maybe a little longer, but
not an 'all day' thing.
However if you use it in true shuffle mode, iTunes creates the new
'mix', then only adds and removes songs that are different from
what's on the shuffle. The nano will work in the same fashion.
The Nano is usable via USB 1.1, just slow. That said, it also charges
through the USB port, too, so it shouldn't be a deal-breaker unless
your roommate is one of those folks with 900GB of songs with 3,467
obsessively created playlists who need to change them out RIGHT NOW!!!!
