Greetings from Mexico. Take pity on me and help ;)
Okay, I'm in Mexico, and by saying that I am reducing the pool of people willing to help me, lol. If it's any consolation, the weather's been awful for days
I am on a mac, and the cafe where I am has a windows-formtted ipod. How do I get my songs on to their ipod cross platform? Does iPod Rip work cross-platform? Can I simply transfer them to the ipod's windows machine as simple mp3's?
Have you tried just plugging the iPod into your Mac? I think iTunes for Mac will sync with a Windows formatted iPod, but it will wipe all the songs and videos off it first.

Good for you, imachungry!
I think that I would rather tolerate bad weather in Mexico (besides hurricanes) and so be able to hang around with Mexicans and Mexican food , rather than good weather in Canada in November.
( Snow in Ottawa this morning, turned to cold rain later. )

I'm sitting in a cafe by the ocean, and it's raining, but I guess it's okay because a cute girl is serving me killer guacamole, and I'm not in Ottawa with a slate of grey plastered across the sky

That's the point: I don't want to lose what's on the ipod. I have manual update on, so maybe that will work.
go to www.versiontracker.com
and download a ipod ripper.
plug your ipod into your mac and when it asks you to sync, say no
run the program and rip all the songs to your desktop or whatever folder.
and then unplug, and replug, erase all songs, and then add them from the folder..voila .. done!
now..let's talk about them mexican women..ei karamba..that's all I wanted to say..
i'll take mexican crap weather over ontario weather in november any day as well..not to mention the *ahem* mexican women and the mexican food
, rather than good weather in Canada in November.
