Easier restores
Authored by: gidds on Aug 27, '03 11:59:29AM
I can't help with preventing the errors, but I've worked out how you can make restoring your music much easier.

Of course, if your entire music library fits on the iPod, then there's no problem, but my library is much too large. So instead of choosing 'sync manually', I created a new playlist for all the music I want on the iPod, and set it to sync to that one playlist.

Not only does it make reloading trivially easy (if not fast), but it means you can rejig the selection before connecting up your iPod: add and remove tracks to your heart's content, and as long as you don't exceed the iPod's capacity (which you can tell from the size in the status bar), then it'll sync everything next time you plug it in. It also means that if you edit titles, ratings, &c in iTunes, those will be copied across too. (And back, I think.)
