Thanks for responding. That is massively slow. But the assumption here is that one would load the entire capacity of an iPod in one session. Suppose you do a gig or so at a time. I know the cumulative time would still be horrendous but short sessions would just add to the iPod data base if I understand how it works... and over a period of time you could build up your data base. Perhaps we'd be pushing it... have to give it some thought. Still welcome any more experience with this.It may not be that bad? Recently we purchased a new iMac for junior grade daughter. Her Summer 2000 G3 350 was due for replacement. Since the ethernet was dead on hers, due to a lightning surge, I transferred her entire HD, including an iTunes collection of 1700+ songs to an external HD using USB 1.1 and Carbon Copy Cloner. Her complete HD had just over 8 GB of stuff on it.
It took just over 4 hours to transfer everything, including the iTunes files. Not a speedy process, but it worked, and was not as bad as I expected.
