Anyone know how to make iPods so they can transfer files, not just play them?

I think i read somewhere that you could.

Buy an iRiver or iAudio and that's the end of your problems.

download a program called ephpod. it's free and takes music off of your ipod unlike itunes which deletes everything. works like a charm.

ok heres how you do it.
go to the iPod preferences. There should be a little check box labeld "Enable Disk Use" click it. It now will show up as an extra drive on your computer. You will need to eject it every time you unplug it though.
