Uh, Alex, the info is actually right there on the website and
(mirabile dictu!) right there in the manual--which Mac users are, of
course, notorious unlikely to do.
The following is a direct quote from the iPod Nano user's manual (aka
Features Guide) which I found on Apple's support website under the
Manuals tab.
Thanks Marian - I didn't think to look in the Support section, I only
checked the iPod section and the Apple Store. (The "Tech Specs" in the
Store did hint that you could - but it was a hint rather than a clear
statement (in view of the comments seen in reviews).
Using iPod nano as an External Disk
You can use iPod nano as an external disk to store and download data
files.
Note: To download music and other audio files to iPod nano, you must
use iTunes. For
example, you won’t see songs you download with iTunes in the
Macintosh Finder or in
Windows Explorer. Likewise, if you copy music files to iPod nano in
the Macintosh
Finder or Windows Explorer, you won’t be able to play them on iPod nano.
Ahhh - that explains the comment I had seen elsewhere - you can copy
files to an iPod being used as an external disk, but can't then play
them as tunes. How strange, and annoying.
Thanks
