ivyficMy iPod now has all my music on it, but I've run into rather a perplexing problem. On my Dell DJ, I could tell it to play just a song (not the whole album), and then after that play another song, or an album, etc. Essentially I could build a playlist on the fly. Is there any way to do this on an iPod? Can I tell it to play disc 2 of Sweeney Todd after disc 1 or do I just have to fiddle around with it when disc 1 ends? This seems incredibly aggravating to me. There are times (especially when driving) that I can't fiddle with the iPod. On the Dell DJ, I'd just pick six albums to play in a row and let it go. Help!
(Yes, I did watch iPod tutorials on-line and download the instructions this morning. I learned how to do many things, but not that.)
ETA: Apparently there is some function called "On-the-go"? On the iPod help center, I can find articles on how to save my on-the-go playlist, but not how to make the thing in the first place. Grrrrrargh!
ETA2: OK, found it. Why could it not have been simpler to figure out this function? Yes, I'm going to realize that click holding the button does what I want. You know, sometimes more buttons help. It's hard to get it to do what I want just by randomly pressing things.
This is bringing up my basic problem with Macs: they are very good at doing what they're designed for and not really good at doing anything else. I am a heavy user of the right-click button on the mouse. I need those other options!
I have, however, figured out how to display fanfic on it, though not how to make the font larger than this.
Oh, and it is named George.
