Thanks to all the help with my iPod problems. I stumbled on one solution to the transfer of non-mp3 files to iTunes. In fact, "stumble" is the operative procedure, as the instructions certainly aren't much help. Anyway, I opened the iTunes library where it lists everything I've transfered to it so far. Then with the iTunes library open (at "medium screen view" which leaves room to work with other files) I go to my aiff files, double click on the file I want, then select "copy files" which appears on a menu on the side, and presto! it starts to play and appears in the iTunes library. Real mysterious how or why.

Another little iPod mystery is what happens when you download your iTunes library to the iPod. There's no indication on the iPod screen of "library," but sometime in the dead of night while owling I will hit the wrong spot on the iPod dial and it will skip to "Black-bellied Plover," which just happens to be the first entry on the Stokes Western CD and thus at the top of my library list, though not helpful while owling. But how did the plover get into the iPod and where is it hidden in the iPod? Stumbling once again, I discovered the library might be hidden under "recently played items" or "albums" or maybe just about anywhere, but not in the "library." Bizarro.
