Nice, just downloaded Pod2Go for my iPod, no complaints so far.

This is great! I had been looking for a program just like this since I got my iPod 2 months ago. I was very surprised that someone hadn’t already come up with a Windows program of this kind (at least that I could find). I’m using it now, and I love it.
Now if we could just get 5G support for Linux for iPod…

Been using an application called “iPod Agent” on my Win2000 machine for about 4 months now. Think it cost me $15 after a trial period. Well worth it. Does everything this product does, plus when you synch your iPod to it, it will also backup specific directories/files you choose. Very happy with it. If you’re looking for alternatives, check it out.

I downloaded this program but I can’t get it to sync/find my iPod. When I hit the “sync” button in Pod2Go it says it can’t find my iPod and lets me know that I need to have the “Enable disk mode” selected in iTunes.
Well, I went into iTunes and it is checked but it’s not highlighted, meaning that I don’t have the option to check or uncheck so I assume this is the issue. Any ideas?!! I have NO idea why this is happening.

Thanks Kevin. I’ve filled out the form and sent it along.
Wouldn’t I have the latest version of Pod2Go since I downloaded it from the site just yesterday?
