RE: instructions for setting up an iPod
Hi Paul, I don't think it changes anything with respect to how you get music onto the device. As far as I know you still have to manage them via iTunes and in some ways maybe even more so than a Touch because I believe you can't install apps on a Nano and definitely not on a Shuffle. Actually, I think the Nano allows for some apps, but since it hasn't got the capabilities of a Touch I don't think you can install just any app. With an iPod Touch at least you could use Dropbox or apps like PhoneDrive or Tonido (there are many more out there) which allow you to tramsfer content from a PC to your device without iTunes. Now, keep in mind that this is not really like copying stuff like you can with a Stream or Booksense and personally I don't like any of these apps except maybe for Dropbox or Skydrive because really you are just syncing content between your computer and that app rather than using iTunes and most of these apps require you to install an app on your computer as well.
