    HI Guys,

    I ahve a couple of Q's aobut WInamp. I thought about giving it a go after I bought a 3rd gen nano from a friend. iTunes is horrible, one of the reasons which kinda stoppped me from ever getting an iPod for a while and I have used MediaMonkey to transfer music for ages.

    With albums in Winamp, there is a "default artwork" which seems to set it self to every unknown album. How do I get rid of this artwork as it's pretty annoying as all my tracks have been tagged properly? It might be a conflict with WMP?

    Also, in iTunes, I noticed that you can set the type of video ie Music Video, TV Show, Movie. Is there anyway of doing this on the iPod as I don't fancy the idea of all my videos getting transffered to the Movie category? I just hate how if I transfer all my music using MM/Winamp that iTunes won't let me just transfer the vids by itself, rather it has the erase all the current on the data on the iPod and resync itself.

    Hope I made sense lolz, it's a bit late and I'm trying to write in a understandable way. Thanks in advance

    I dont use iTunes, but I use WinAmp

    I'm guessing you mean by chainging artwork?

    Follow these steps:

    * Changing Album Art*
    1) Highlight the album cover you want to change
    2) Right Click > View File Info (Alt+3)

    *Disabling Album Art*
    1) Options > Playlist > Uncheck "Show Album Art if Playlist is Enlarged"

    Bah, so there is no way to quickly get rid of the album art? Either WinAMP or WMP does something to my files by randomly adding incorrect album art. MediaMonkey shows them just fine ARgh

    Man, I don't really like the interface of WinAMP, I'm just not used to it. Used to Drag and Drop and MediaMonkey.

    I recal reading somewhere there is plug-ins to cpompletly remove album art.

    And yes, WinAMP gets a while to get use to but it's working great for me
