I'm copying all my music from the Windows machine to the Mac. Should take about an hour.

I still wish the iPod just used 802.11b or 10-Base-T to connect. [Scripting News]

This is the whole point: synchronizing on an ethernet takes hours (and you're probably moving files at 100-Base-T), on the firewire connection it takes seconds.

On the other side, since the iPod is nothing more than an hard disk with MP3 files stored in some hidden folders, it should be relatively easy to build a Radio tool that would synch and keep track of your music... hmmm....
