Ipod is a utility item everyone wants but how many of them use it?
Ipod! Ipod

There's always sufficient, but not always at the right place nor for the right folks.
And while I'm bleeding karma, how about this...

Don't be evil my ass.
This is Slashdot where Google can do no evil.
Ogg is not just about whether its better or worse sound quality than other codecs - that is open to opinion. In most cases some codecs are better at encoding certain things than others. The great thing about Ogg is that is open and not encumbered by patents, which most alternatives carry.

I used this product for a while last year until one sunny day my iPod refused to show me any playlists. I mounted the iPod as a disk and took a look around...sure enough the music was all still there. iTunes wouldn't see my music, the iPod wouldn't see my music...not even ml_iPod itself would see my music. ml_iPod had corrupted my iPod database.
When I tried to leave forum posts to the creator for support, he was nowhere to be found. I discovered that many other users also shared my hardships. I had to download EphPod and use its recovery features to even get the iPod to show me anything. I then had to further download Anapod Explorer and use its recovery features to recover a bunch of 'lost' music. Since that day, I have vowed to myself to never use the ml_iPod plugin again.
FWIW, I have my doubts that something like this won't happen again. Be cautious people...you're putting your iPod database at risk!

I don't normally reply in this fashion to my own posts, but this is ridiculous. I just had one comment marked flaimbait and one marked redundant in the same thread. Come on man, these posts are legitimate criticism.
Marking something down simply because you happen to disagree with it doesn't even come close to fitting the moderators guidelines. You are not helping to win me over to your cause with this kind of zealotry.
