I was just preparing for my trip tomorrow by ripping the last few CDs I purchased and downloading them to my iPod. Things were going great until a message popped up saying that some songs couldn't be downloaded because the software version was too old.
I fired up the iPod updater, and sure enough, there was an iPod software update available. Foolishly, I decided to upgrade. The upgrade completed, but then nothing. I frantically push on buttons, spin wheels, but the think is lifeless.
All is not lost. I have a new video iPod on the way, and the iTunes phone (complete with airplane mode) will ensure that I have at least a litle music with me. But the 100 song limit on the phone means I won't be able to copy over the Teach Yourself Dutch CDs I've been listening to.
My brother is going to be so disappointed. He thought he was going to be getting my old iPod when I returned. I guess that won't happen now.
