Possible Ipod owner to be

[DKRY_UK]

hey,

I'm looking at buying the 15gb(3rd gen) ipod, although i have a few things i'm trying to find out about first. Any help would be really appreciated.

I was wondering whether or not my audigy soundcards firewire port is ok to use with the ipod for transfer and charging?

If not should i invest in a firewire pci card rather than the usb 2 cable.

I also have loads of wma's in my music collection which are my own recordings , and i know that the ipod doesn't support this format, is there any way of converting them to one of the formats that ipod will support. Just that the only way i could think of was to burn them to cd and then rip them again.

As before any help would be really appreciated

Cheers

I would not recommend using the Audigy with iPod, because the vast majority of the people here who have problems are using the Audigy. Apparently, Creative is using its own standard for firewire, not the IEEE1394 standard. In short: get a separate firewire card. Search the forums for recommendations. People like the Adaptec card or anything with a VIA chipset.
