iTunes finally crashed on my PC a year ago so all i use the USB for is to recharge the battery on the iPod. luckily the memory on the Ipod was full so i have a functioning library that i can listen thru the headphone port. but i have gone back to buying CD's again lately.

if i get another as a gift again down loading the NEW software might wake up they system but i doubt it.

Very weird, both my daughter and myself have had working copies of iTunes working with iPods on our Windows XP PCs for 2 years and 4 years. I've not had any problems at all.
