[iBook] iPod Questions (OT)

[larry Zasitko]

I have a 40 gig 3rd gen iPod. I can't help with using it on an old  
clamshell at the moment and it would not have enough disk space for my  
20gig plus of mp3's so I use my new powerbook and it works good. When I  
get back home I will try it on my clamshell and see what it can do.

I tried the iTrip and disliked it like others because there is no way  
to set it to one frequency and have it stay there. In the end I took it  
back and got a roadTrip and it works much better. Two buttons will let  
you set the frequency and it will not change unless you change it. I  
also found in my van that the iTrip picked up engine noise in the  
background, the roadTrip does not and has the built in charger so I  
don't have to worry about battery life as much. I can on the built in  
get 4-5 hrs or so but not much more. The roadTrip plugs into the  
cigarette lighter and charges it and provides a nice way to mount the  
ipod with interchangable adapters, in all it is great.

Yes Apline makes a nice deck and have a link for the iPod and for me  
may be the way to go in the future.
