Reformat iPod without ipod updater?
(1/1)
tinyvillager:
Is there a way,application,out there that can reformat an iPod without that gigantic ipod updater software?
P.S.
Will never buy an ipod again,all the software applications needed are way too cumbersome.
Yeah i got the winamp plugin,yeah you can get the foobar2000 foopod or whatever,but man,shell out 300+ bucks
for a gadget,should be better.Thats my rant.

Well, it is just a disc drive, so, you _COULD_ format it using window's build in formatter, but, if you wish to retain it's ability to play mp3s, that probably won't work. However, I have formatted mine with the for-metioned method, and then again with the Apple formatter, and, it worked for MP3s, so, there is little if any chance of doing permanent damage by trying the standard format option.
