Any one know what will happen if I plug my iPod(apple) into my pals PC, he has a PC iPod and installed all the software...
will i be able to add there music to mine or will it format my pod??

it will reformat your iPods hard drive, and erase all your tunes...you can then add his, but then once you plug it back into your mac it will reformat and erase the drive again....

Really? For some reason I thought it would work just fine.
How did people use their ipods to transport files then?

Yeh I had heard about this but thought it was untrue,
so there’s no way for it to just become a drive and preserve my songs?

you can use it as a har drive also. i do. but between my macs at wrk & home. not on my pc to mac or vice versa

reformatting also happens if you try to put an m4a (osx ripped music file) onto an os9 ipod as I found out much to my annoyance.

If it responds the same as Mac's do - iTunes will ask if you want to sync the tunes from THAT computer - overwriting those on your iPod. You'll have the otion to say no - then in the iPod pref's (through iTunes on friends computer) set the iPod to be updated manually only. Then you can play the tunes off your iPod using iTunes on your friends PC.
You can also pick up app's that will let you move the mp3's/mp4's/AAC's over to another computer off your iPod - lookup on versiontracker or something, there are tons of them.

If you have a windows formatted iPod try using Audion on the Mac to get the songs off. I haven't tried this... But it works on two different Macs. My buddy will have something cool on his iPod and then I take it from his with Audion.
