EEEpod

[dvandom]

Finally got around to seeing if I could play music off a jump drive with my EEE.

1) It didn't automatically add the song on the stick ("Still Alive") to the music playlist, although there might be something I did wrong. Still, it's not autoplay.

2) Sounded a bit tinny on the built-in speakers, but that's kinda to be expected.

3) My Shuffle is at work, but next time both devices are in the same place I'll try plugging it into the EEE and see if it'll play off the iPod.

Look on the bright side, at least you have an Ipod! I just plug headphones into my laptop or PDA. It looks very..clunky. Though I did respond to some criticism of how I had the 'biggest Ipod they'd ever seen' (my Vostro) when I asked if their Ipod could get wireless internet.

Nowadays that doesn't work because apparently some actually CAN...

I plugged my iPod Classic into my EEE and it was detected correctly and Amarok (well, "music manager") popped up just fine. It seems the version of the software was too old to transfer music _to_ the iPod (didn't generate the correct checksum), but it was correctly detected.
