# only other caveat:
I never enabled the iRiver database for search by genre or artist, as a lot of my mp3s are garnered from my old work network, and aren'ttagged right (and can't autoupdate anything from the web now through websense), so I just put folders under Albums (as opposed to singles) which go A-B-C-D, E-F-G-H, etc... so I look up by just going, e.g., P-Q-R-S, Radiohead, Pablo Honey, Creep. So I don't know how good it is.
Mostly I just put it on random play anyway! :)

# you can plug and play ipods
the only thing that`s shit is that the playlists are generated when you sync, so you can`t just play songs back, and the files are renamed to shit like NXBA.mp3, DADK.mp3 etc.

but they work grand as portable hard disks too - they also work on Linux, which is nice

# yeah
I thought they only did the name hashing on apple formatted ones. What a slightly weird feature... oddly itunes ca rename them properly if you reimport them with those names.
