iPod Automatic iPod Updating in 4.9?

[pdpfilms]

Has anyone else noticed that now (in iTunes 4.9) when your iPod is set to update automatically in iTunes, it has the drop-down playlists available? It looks identical to how it used to when it was set for manual update.

Why is this? Can you now do combined manual and automatic? Is that even theoretically possible?

It's so you can listen to music directly from your iPod while it is automatic update mode. Before you had to switch it to manuel to do it.

That's what i was thinking, until i realized all the songs were grayed out.....

It seems like they only did it so you cans see what playslists and podcasts you have on your iPod then. I don't see any other use for it.

Has anyone else had problems with their iPods after the iTunes and iPod updates that were just released? My 60gb photo is unresponsive to the click wheel about half the time... The center buttons work fine, the menu, play, next and previous track buttons work fine as well.. but half the time i can't scroll around.

On a bit of a side note, anyone else seen the vertical page sliding? That tends to happen to mine once in a while... i know it's a bug, but it sure looks cool!
