Why can't the Mac have this? It would make editing your ID3 tags much easier, since you could easily select just the files that need to be updated without opening them in iTunes. On the Mac you have to choose "Get Info" and start to reveal panels before you see that the Mac supports metadata too, it just can't show it in the main finder windows. Right now, if you're sitting at a PC with a relatively recent version of windows (lucky you)- you can choose to see artist, album info (and more) right in your file lists. Macworld is coming up and on January 9th, Steve will probably give us another peek at the progress on Leopard and I'm hoping that we'll see finder viewing (and sorting) support for ID3 metadata.
No, I'm not dabbling in blog fiction, I'm trying to type while keeping my fingers crossed. Sounds like a bad sci-fi short story, huh. Maybe this happened twice in a row out of luck, but it's worth a try. I left it unplugged for a day or two and voila! It started recharging after I plugged it in and held down the home and sleep keys for ten seconds. So instead of plugging it in to recharge. What if there wasn't enough power to start up the unit, but too much power to have the ipod go into it's special recharging mode. He mentioned that the ipod touch will go into a special mode when the battery is completely drained, so that the unit can be recharged. I was hanging out with a computer wiz friend of mine, discussing my problem. Again, I'd try every key combination I could track down online. Again, I'd leave it plugged in, hoping it would recharge. Just before I left, I decided to try plugging it in one more time - this time it started recharging! I left the ipod touch unplugged for a couple days and then brought it to work so I could take it down to Tekserve and get a new battery. Eventually, I decided to get a new battery. But then I'd try all those techniques again and they still wouldn't work.
I would plug the thing in and it would start to feel a little warm. Once I figured out that it was dead, I'd try the various key combinations to wake it up - holding down the home button and the sleep button at the same time for ten seconds - holding down the home and sleep buttons for ten seconds and then holding down the home button for a minute - holding down the home button and plugging in the usb cable, none of them worked. Leave it alone! I've had problems with my ipod touch battery draining - especially if I leave wifi on. Here's a quick tip for those with a ipod touch that won't recharge or turn on.
