hey i think it'll be a good idea to see the ipod playlist along with the itunes playlist just as you would in itunes..... because it is very hard to add songs directly from the ipod and you dont know what song you are adding. and putting song directly on the ipod by using it as a harddrive to me defeats the purpose of the ipod....i like listening to my vibes on my way to the venue before i play it is sort of a hype.....and sometimes help with the selection for the night
