Mac Annoyances: iPod Annoyances

Overview The iPod has changed the way people listen to music. For many, the iPod is the main reason to use iTunes. With an iPod, the user can carry around their own personal radio station, playing the music they prefer, without the interruption of commercials and annoying jocks. The appeal of the iPod has caught on - it's as big as the Sony Walkman was a generation ago. This paper exposes some iPod annoyances that one may have run into or experience in the future, and gives the solution to make ears happy again.
