    Nothing new here. I have an origional iPod. The firmware for the newer iPod's adds on-the-fly playlist support, something I've been requesting since I got mine. Guess what, Apple doesn't want to backport it because they think they can resell customers on a newer iPod for this feature, what a load of crap. Then the launch the Apple music store for Windows, guess what, the firmware available for the series 1 and 2 iPod's can't play the signed AAC files if they are formatted for FAT, HPFS formatted ones can though. I have emailed Apple about both of these issues and haven't recieved so much as a simple response.
