What do you use your Notes section of your ipod for?

[genuine fraud]

So far, I don't have any real use for my Ipod Notes sections, so I loaded it with 100 Vegetarian recipes just for kicks.

Anyone else here have any creative uses for Ipod Notes?

Tomo_kun -- What does that have to do with genuine fraud's post? Kinda off topic, ya think?

ItsLunchBox - the mactracker can be downloaded and put on the iPod. If you look to the right on the site you will see the iPod listed & you can put it in the notes section on the iPod.

I have an ebook in my notes section.

Sometimes I put my grocery list on the ipod. Comes in handy to listen to my favorite songs while I buy ketchup and onions.

how do you get around the 4k limit on text files?

yea, it would be really cool if you could associate information from text files with the song that is playing, maybe display the comments field in scroll text and have it display the album cover at the same time.

As far as I know, Apple hasn't updated the Notes functionality on the iPod photo's to allow you to embed pictures with the Notes.

You can't really get around the 4k note size limit. What you can do though is link each page to the next. The Notes function allows you to provide embedded links to other Notes. So, after reading 4k of notes, you can have a link to take you to the next 4k file.

The other thing you can do is store the text as a Contact instead. Contacts don't have a size limit. This is one way to get Notes on 1/2G iPods as the Notes function was only added since the 3G iPod's came out.

I use google get it loads up my note section with the latest google news and my weather info everytime I connect my ipod to my computer. Then I use ipod agent and it loads my RSS feeds, and movie times. I have a ton of notes in there now =).
