Ok will do what you have said from now on to make it easier....but itunes has no problem playing any of the songs in my library all is fine there.....
But transferring them back onto my newly restored IPOD isnt happening....it starts fine....you see them transferring from my itunes....but you dont see them landing onto my Ipod.....it seems slower than normal eventhough i have the latest version of itunes.
The amount is large ie 450 odd songs wud this matter?

Thanks for the replies, lotr.

nice one
