New iPod software

iPod Updater 2005-02-22

I don't have my power supply with me, so I can't try this until I get home. And come to think of it, I'm out this evening, so I can't try it until tomorrow.

"Shuffle Songs selection in Main Menu" - my iPod already has a "Shuffle Songs" item in the main menu, so what does this mean? Does it allow you to toggle the shuffle settings as you can from the settings menu? (You know, that Songs/Albums/Off) thing? That would be nice.

Nicer still would be the ability to put selected playlists in the main menu...

Put update on this morning. Yes it allows you to put a shuffle option on the main (top) menu.

I didn't get very long to play but it only seemed to be a shuffle song on option. (Clicking again did not change tthe setting). So maybe not as useful as I hoped...

More potentially interesting (to me) is the 'import photos' main menu possibility.

The updater told me that I had to disconnect and use the external power supply for the flash to take place, but looking at the screen the progress bar was already rolling, and I now have 'shuffle songs', so it seems to have worked entirely from FW power.

YMMV!

Adding the shuffle item is probably for an older iPod than you have -- it's new on my 3G 40GB.
