Hi,

I am thinking about buying an iPod. Now I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to grap songs from a cd directly to the iPod? (I only have an iBook with 10 GB Hard Disk, so not much space)
2. Is it possible to play the songs over iTunes directly from the iPod?

That's it.

Greetings...
Vax

The answer is "no" for both questions.

If you have a pair of external speakers, you could hook your iPod up to them (instead of the iBook's builtin speakers).
Either way, though, you must first rip the CDs to the iBook's hard drive.

just change your itunes save as folder to the ipod. then rip the cd . after you rip the cd, add the songs that is in your ipod into your ipod playlists..then delete the songs from the visible umm something.. harddrive. since you already ahve the songs in an invisible directory.

You can listen to songs through iTunes if they are only on your iPod. Just change the settings to manually update the iPod instead of automatically.
