Thank you!
I was concerned when I only saw Windows info and requirments on the packaging and thought this was a throwback to the old Windows OR Mac ipods. I admit I am not very "Mac savvy" even though I have 5 Macs.
Thanks for the reply.

Those could work on either as well, really. Just had to re-format. Well, except for the first-gens, but that's only because there was no software written to interface with them. I believe you can reformat those for FAT and use them just fine with Windows these days as well.jwmoret said:I was concerned when I only saw Windows info and requirments on the packaging and thought this was a throwback to the old Windows OR Mac ipods.

I don't know if it's the placebo effect, but the iPod seemed to transfer files faster over FireWire on the Mac when formatted as HFS+ instead of FAT. However, if you need to connect it to both platforms for any reason, FAT's the way to go.
