iTunes with iPod question

in addition to the full albums on my iPod playlist, I have a "various"
playlist where I mix tracks from different albums. What I don't like is
that you can't delete the playlist by itself (the will still be on your
iPod).....you have to go to the root level on iTunes and scroll through
hundreds of songs and figure out the ones that are in my "various"
playlist and the songs which ones belong to one of the full albums to
delete your custom playlist. Is there a way around this?

I may be missing something, but with my iPod plugged into my computer I
created a custom Playlist, then added several different tunes, then all
I needed to do was select this new playlist and hit the delete key, the
new playlist is gone.

yes....the playlist is gone. But, from what I understand, the songs are
still on your iPod taking up space. After deleting your custom Playlist,
click on the root level with the iPod icon on the left and you should
see all the songs from all your playlists, including the ones that were
in your playlist that you just deleted.

I haven't updated to the most recent version, so I could be wrong....did
they fix this?

If you want to remove the Playlist and the tunes from your iPod then
hold down the Option key when you hit the Delete key then both the
Playlist and the tunes in the list will be deleted.

More precisely, it's a free iPod for _him_, if he gets enough
people to give their permission to be spammed, under his referral code
(the r=#### in the URL).

Or so he hopes...I still don't believe any of it.

Yes, we understand you're in it to sign people up for spam, so you can
get free hardware.

Umm...I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.  You have some
albums of songs in your library, and then you have other "various" songs
in a playlist.  You want the playlist to be on your iPod for a while,
then you want the songs to disappear when you delete it.  Correct?

Two questions: one, where do the "various" songs come from?  Are they
also on your albums?  If so, they're not "taking up space" -- the iPod
will only have one copy of each song, and play that one copy whether
you're playing the album or the playlist.  If I make a playlist of songs
with "Come Together" on it, then delete the playlist, the "Come
Together" file will still be accessed when I play "Abbey Road."  
Deleting the playlist won't delete any copies of "Come Together" --
it'll just delete a reference to the file.

Two, do you have your iPod set to update all songs or selected
playlists?  If it updates all songs, it'll copy everything in your
library when it updates.  If it updates selected playlists, you can just
uncheck your "Various" playlist and then update your iPod.  Any songs in
"Various" that aren't in any other playlists will be deleted from the
iPod.

If your iPod is copying your whole music library to your iPod, then it's
copying your whole music library to your iPod, whatever your playlists
are set to.  You can fix this by making an "Albums Only" playlist and
telling your iPod to only update that playlist, but if the "Various"
songs are from albums in the "Albums Only" playlist they'll get copied
to the iPod anyway.

This article will give you step-by-step instructions on how to
successfully obtain your free iPod using freeipods.com for as little as
$1. Many think that this site is a scam or a pyrimid sceam. A scam no,
a pyrimid yes, a sceam no. You do have to put forth some sort of effort
to get a free iPod. You must get five friends or relatives to do
exactly the following...

Step 1: Click here to go to the free iPod site.
http://www.freeiPods.com/?r=12541248
To participate in this great offer you must live in the US

Step 2: Use an email address at the bottom of the page and choose a
password. (they will send you email, so please use a secondary account)

Step 3: Fill out all required shipping information. This tells them
where to send your iPod.

Step 4: (Do not exit at this point) This is the part that over 90% of
the people start thinking: "Maybe this isn't for real." They present to
you 10 different "optional" offers. These are not any of the real
offers needed to complete the getting the iPod.

Step 5: Skip all of the previous offers and you get to the refer
friends page. You can start sending emails to your friends here or skip
this step and do it later.

Step 6: Complete an offer. This is where real companies like AOL, Real
Networks and more are advertising through freeIpods.com. This is what
makes them successfull. Choose an offer and purchase or sign up.
(Choose the RealNetworks Real Rapsody. This cost $1...yes $1 dollar for
30 days. Cancel anytime. Even if you forget its only $10 a month after
the first month. For signing up they also give you 5 free songs to
burn. This is the best offer. Nothing is free, but an iPod for a dollar
and a little work is worth it. Some offers change. There is always one
offer where you pay next to nothing or just sign up for a 30 day trial.

Step 7: Get your friends to do the same thing. Even if you don't
complete it you get to download five songs.

Note: Completing an offer and not signing up your friends is what they
are counting on. It is more likely you get intreagued and then give up.
This doesn't mean that it is a scam. All you must do it finish. If this
still sounds to good to be true then go pay $300 for a new iPod. Have
patience and good luck.

If you haven't started yet. Get your iPod here!!!

Whoever came up with this bullshit 'free iPod' scam (and anyone who
doesn't believe it's a scam has obviously never heard of pyramid/matrix
schemes), should be beaten like a rented mule.
