Is crossfading possible on iPod classic
Is crossfading feature available on iPod classic ?
Crossfade playback is diffrent, the last few seconds of a song are overlapped by the next song in normal playback, unless its a gapless album. but as far as I know and acording to that link only the 4th gen and 5th gen nano are capable of crossfade... oh well apple will figure that out one of these days.

Crossfade in iTunes and then transfer to iPod classic?
I can crossfade in itunes, but cannot seem to download the same crossfade to my ipod classic, is there a way to do this or is there a third party available.
It's like this... TFB! or TO FRACKING BAD! The iPod touch first and iOS afterwards has never supported crossfade. You have it available on the iPod nano but not the iPod touch. They should rename the iPod touch to iPad micro or something. This is something that has been needed to be addressed for a long time now. I know, let's blame it on Scott Forstall!

I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, maybe a Nano for the gym. Would I need a 2nd iTunes library? Is that possibly, I mean for one person to have 2 iTune librarys/accounts?

In other words, no. You don't need another iTunes Library for your new iPod
Another iTunes Library, that's only if someone elses music is mixed in with yours and you want to create another Windows user account with their music in it.
The iTunes Library is the master vault containing all your content, from there you create playlists or smart playlists specially tailored for the smaller iPod's storage requirements.
For instance if the iPod can hold only 2,000 songs, then you create a smart playlist based upon those rules/limitation. Plus what type of music you like.
You have a incredible degree of control with smart playlists, they update automatically so you only set the conditions for what goes into them. Including content from other created playlists and smart playlists.
Then, when you hook up the smaller iPod, it has it's own sync options, "all of your music and playlists" or "only select playlists" So you use the second option to select just the smart playlist you tailored for the new iPod.
When you hook up the iPod Classic, only it's sync options are used, not the new iPod ones.
I hope I explained it better this time. -
My MacBook Pro hard drive crashed a little while ago and has been replaced. Is it possible to take tunes from iPod Classic and transfer all of them back to iTunes on computer? Is this just for purchased tunes or can I do it for ones that have been burned from CD's as well? Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?
I have had my 30 GB iPod video for about 7 years, it was a gift and has served me well. Unfortunately it was in my pocket when I brushed up against a very powerful magnet which latched onto the unit and scrambled the hardware. Sad iPod icon.
I was told I probably need to replace the HD in order to get it back to working order. What I am wondering is, would I be able to replace it with a larger capacity drive so long as I got a unit that was slim enough to fit into the casing?Have you tried resetting the PRAM? http://gigaom.com/2011/07/26/when-to-reset-your-macs-pram-and-smc/
Which Windows version are you trying to install? If I remember right, you can't use windows 8 on these older machines.
Other than that it's hard to say what could have gone wrong. I can only suggest going through the steps again carefully and making sure everything worked the way it should.
Have a look at this article too for a slighly more verbose instruction on making a drive bootable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upg ra/ -
I have an ipod nono 8gb which is about 5 years old and is full - my husband is a jazz fan, and now I have jazz on my little ipod and my ipod touch. I am thinking of getting an ipod classic 160gb and putting all his jazz on to it. Is it possible for me to link it to my Itunes library and his Itunes library and just put all the jazz on to the new Ipod classic? if so, how do I then delete the jazz of the other two ipods?
There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
You might want to create a seperate iTunes library for him, perhaps on another user account on the system and move all of his Jazz music over to that new library. Once you have all of his music moved over to his own library, remove it from your own and then resync both of your iPods to clear his music off. This is just one way to do it.
If that was a bit confusing, take a look at this article for a few ways to manage multiple iPods with one computer.

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.
Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Is it possible to replace my iPod Classic with this following reasons?
1. The battery drains faster than the tech specs.
2. It's still under warranty.
3. I have a Silver iPod Classic(80gig) and I compared it with my mums Black iPod Classic(80gig) and her clickwheel responds much faster. Mine usually freezes.
4. My mums Black iPod Classic has much brighter LCD screen than mine. We both set it to 50% brightness & you can see the difference.
5. And I noticed that the casing of my iPod wasn't perfectly attached it's a bit lose.
6. My mum and I has tha same movies in our iPods but when i play this movies mine has more pixelation than my mums Black iPod Classic.
Do I have the right to replace it with a new one and could i demand for a Black iPod if replacement is possible?Since no-one here is an Apple employee we can't give you any definitive answer to your question.
Only Apple can determine whether your iPod is replaceable under warranty or not.
You can either arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.
You can make an appointment by using this link.

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic?
Is this possible?You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library. -
Is it possible to select and play a Playlist one has created on an iPod Classic through the system on which the iPod is docked?
No, but if you are in the habit of listening to your iPod in Shuffle mode, then set the language files to Skip when shuffling.
To set Skip when shuffling, highlight the track in your iTunes Library and click on File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling and then Sync the iPod to the Library.
Note that if you select a single track, the Skip when shuffling is a tick-box. But if you select multiple items, the Skip when shuffling option becomes a drop-down menu where you choose either Yes or No. Even if that option says Yes, change it to No and back to Yes. This ensuures that all tracks you have highlighted are set to Yes.
Another option is to create a separate Playlist that includes everything except the language files. This will require you to manually add any new songs each and every time you buy new songs.
Alternatively;
you could even create a Smart Playlist to automatically add all the new music but to exclude the language files. To do that, set the Genre of the language files to "Language" (or similar) and then:
Make sure you are looking at your entire Music Library, not just one part of it or a Playlist.
Click on File/New Smart Playlist
In the line that appears, change "Artist" to Media Kind (from the drop-down menu)
The next two boxes should now show is and Music. If not, change them so that they do.
Click on the + box at the end of that line (this will add a new line)
Change "Artist" to Genre (from the drop-down menu)
Change "Contains" to is not (from the drop-down menu)
In the last (empty) box, type in Language or whatever genre you have given to the language files. Make sure it is typed in exactly as it is in the files.
Click OK
Rename the Smart Playlist as you want.
Sync the iPod with iTunes.
Note that this Smart Playlist will automatically add any new music to it. You do not need to add new songs yourself! -
Is it possible to have podcasts being played in chronological order instead of reversed chronological order in an iPod Classic? It is not an issue, just something that irritates me as I want to be able to listen to them in chronological order.
Yes, but you need to make a custom playlist to do so. There is no option on the classic to reverse the playback order.

Possible iPod Classic and Oracle Netbeans/Java Issue
I recently lost all the music from my iPod Classic and was unable to restore from iTunes or reset to factory defaults. The iPod showed a large amount of disk usage but no music, video, photos, etc. and it took forever to connect to my Windows USB port. After battling this and trying tons of ideas on the net, the Apple Store had to reformat the device from a Mac and reset the drive. Today I just had the same issue and I think the issue was caused by Oracle Netbeans and/or Java being loaded to my desktop. Both times I had this issue was after downloading Oracle NetBeans for a development tool. Has anyone else seen this issue?
1. How likely is it that Apple will fix this issue with future firmware releases?
No-one here could even hazard a guess. We're just users like yourself. Do Philips claim this DVD player is compatible? Isn't it the responsibility of the makers of the DVD player to ensure it works with the Classic?
2. Are other 3rd party devices (i.e. Docks, Automobiles, etc.) affected by this firmware release?
Yes. Almost all older 3rd party accessories don't work with the Classic. There have been many posts about such issues both here and other iPod forums.
3. Is there any way to go back to firmware release 1.0.2? I know backing off firmware releases is possible with the iPhone.
This may be of help but you have to have the previous version still on your computer.
Remove the latest update from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.
In Windows XP but I think it's found in "Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates."
Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically), then click restore. Or simply disconnect your modem from the computer.
Then restore the iPod.
You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software. -

Crossfade And Reverb for Ipod Classic 160GB?
When is Apple going to make an update containing the Crossfade feature for the ipod classic 160GB? Also, is there any way to put a Reverb setting on the ipod classic 160GB? If so, how can I do that?
Probably never, and no, through strictly speaking these forums aren't really the place for speculation. I suspect that if crossfade were easily within the capability of the the existing hardware then it would already have been introduced. I'm not sure I see the case for putting reverb on what is essentially a personal playback device, and there certainly isn't any way you can bolt it on yourself.
If you'd like Apple to consider adding features to the iPod then the place to make the suggestions is iPod Feedback.
