Remind me again why the Touch can't use a browse by file/folder syst

The thickness I can li've with. The weight I can li've with. The slow transfer rate I can li've with. But the file system is really bothering me.
I can't stand having only the artist/genre/album/track sorting. If Creative would just add support for file/folder browsing, the Touch would be a perfect player.
And don't tell me that adding it would ruin the other sorting systems. The Archos Gmini XS200 does both.
The only thing keeping me from switching to the Archos is the 40GB dri've on the Touch. But the lack of a browse file/folder feature is really grinding down. I have until the 30 day return policy is up, which is about another 0 days.

Both the Archos and the iRi'ver have USB mass storage support. When you connect the player you don't need drivers etc. to access it, they just appear as a dri've letter and you copy files.
I'm not sure about the Archos, but the iRi'ver also can have a Music Library that runs off tag data. The way it does this is by the User initiating a scan of the hard disk which takes several minutes to build the library. Every time you want to update the library you have to run this scan.

    Download the updated version of the software can not use and why?

    It will help if you tell us what model of iPod touch you have, how and from where you downloaded the update, what version of iOS this update is, and details about the problem; "can not use" doesn't give us anywhere near enough information on which to base a diagnosis and offer suggestions.
    Regards.

    Wondering why the touch screen display did not respond suddenly untill restart? Tx..

    Being an electronic/computer type device that can happen and often a Simple Restart or Reset (as described below) will often cure many such ills.... If the problem persists... Connect to iTunes on your Computer and Restore
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

    Yes.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus).  There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
    You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

    I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

    Did you do a secure empty trash? SHIFT COMMAND DELETE, they will be over wriiten. Are you deleting docs as they aren't much space, videos,pictures,music use much more space.
    You can move those fiels to an external "archive" drive to save them then delete them from your internal drive.

  • [Q?string]Why the null can be calculated?

    Why the null can be calculated?
    although i know string instances cannot be changed, but i still not very clear about what the null is
    and why the 2nd println results "nullb", is it a new character string?
    why it is not "b" only, or an exception?
    class TestNull
         public static void main(String args[])
              String str_a=null;
              String str_b="b";
              StringBuffer str_Buff=null;
              System.out.println(str_a+str_Buff);//results nullnull
              System.out.println(str_a+str_b);//results nullb
              System.out.println(str_Buff.append(str_a));//results Exception
    }thanks

    although i know string instances cannot be changed,
    but i still not very clear about what the null isNull is a reference literal. It can be assigned to reference variables. A reference variable either contains a reference to an object or it contains null.
    and why the 2nd println results "nullb", is it a new
    character string?It's beacuse println() prints the String "null" when it encounters the null literal. If you add "b" you get "nullb".
    why it is not "b" only, or an exception?That's how println works.

    At this time it cannot. Perhaps you can provide feedback to Apple on this.

  • Why my Apple ID stopped when I buy and why the supporter can't help and why they don't reply to any email I send

    Why my Apple ID stopped when I buy and why the supporter can't help and why they don't reply to any email I send so what should I do in this moment I need guide and help so as a request please reply me back  Thanks ....

    As I said in my above reply we are fellow users, we won't know why your account is disabled.
    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Why the !@#$ can't I zoom in/out when cropping a photo??

    Yes, that zoom scroll doesn't change the dimensions of the photo.
    Attached is a screen shot to help explain the issue.
    Notice the top of the guitar is not within the desired dimensions. I would like to zoom out to be able to fit all of the guitar in the cropped section.

  • IPhone 4 avaiable update to iOS 7.1.1 why the Touch ID isn't avaiable in iPhone 4

    Why the Touch ID isn't now avaiable in iPhone 4

    Touch ID has never been availiable on the iPhone 4.
    You don't have a fingerprint sensor on your iPhone for it to work with, the only iPhone which will have Touch ID is an iPhone 5S.

  • I am planning to buy ipad 2 wifi   3g verizon carrier, will be taking it to india need to know if the same can be used with the local providers there or would the ipad be locked and restricted only to verizon

    I am planning to buy ipad 2 wifi   3g verizon carrier, will be taking it to india need to know if the same can be used with the local providers there or would the ipad be locked and restricted only to verizon

    I'm fairly sure the Verizon CDMA iPad 2 had no GSM sim slot. So it won't work with any other carrier except Verizon.
    As far as the AT&T version goes, it should technically work but will not support 4G/LTE cellular bands.
    Given iPad 2's are no longer being sold, I doubt any  that could be bought would have a warranty still. Or have at most very little of it left.
    Why an iPad 2?  its now 3 generations behind the current one.
    Perhaps an iPad 4 would be a better choice.

  • HT201493 why the app don't use coordinate as alternative to addresses?

    why the app don't use coordinate as alternative to addresses. because the maps in the most area outside USA are very poor.

    There is an iPhone YouTube app in the App Store. Until Google develops an app for the iPad, you can use the mobile site or the iPhone app.
