Ive totally failed to find an answer to this yet. Actually Ive failed to find a video that doesnt play as a song on a latest gen ipod, but Ive only tried dozens of different ones, not hundreds, so maybe I got lucky (or unlucky as Imdesperately trying to get one to go wrong lol).
Susan you mentioned that one of RichardShow's didnt show up as a song, but when I transfered the last 6 of richardshows videos from feed in itunes, they all showed up on my ipod in the songs list. Could you point me to a specific video that doesnt work? Im not sure what Apple really intended as far as this behaviour goes. Maybe they didnt actually mean for videos to show up in the songs list at all. Maybe they meant for all vidoes to show up but its a bug that prevents some working. Until I find one that doesnt work I cant learn any more about this stuff.
