ok, i saw the guide on apple.com for the ipod to use the ipod for disk use however when i went to my PC the "enable" disk use option was grayed out and not being able to be selected. i have a ipod mini, are the mini's able to be used for disk use?
The PC will not be able to access the iPod in disk mode if it hasn't been formatted for use on a PC... natively, the iPod uses a Mac-style format which the PC cannot read.
A Mac formatted iPod won't even sync with Windows iTunes so that's not the problem. Every time I've seen the Enable Disk Usage box greyed out, it's been already ticked because the songs are set to be manually managed. Is it ticked for you also? If so, just go to My Computer, and drag files to your iPod.
