Is it possible to manually manage songs my ipod
without having the "Firewire Disk mode" Activated

It seems the two features are not mutually exclusive.

Any ideas?

the only way to manage files or songs is to have it plugged into a computer.

you can find answers here.

Thanks for that....

You may have misunderstood my question.

While in iTunes, you can select to have ipod Sync you playlists, or you can manually add files by dragging them to the 'source' column where the iPod is represented.

My question is that if you select "manually manage files" the "enable Firewire Disk mode" checkbox is automatically checked and shaded with this choice. I wanted to know if there was a way to still manually manage songs but not have the iPod Diskdrive icon show up on the desktop.

Sorry if i wasn't clear.....
