Title: How long should I go without syncing my ipod?
Post by: alanp on October 13, 2008, 03:22:53 PM
I've gotten behind in the podcasts i keep on there.  And now have several days worth of audio!  Episodes of the dave ramsey show, Treksf, twit, make it so, etc.  So I think I should see how long I can go before I need to resync.  Then it will feel like a big upgrade.

I sync mine a couple of times a day, but then... that's me.  I'm addicted to it.  :)

Can you say Fresh Content?

normally I do to.  But I mostly listen while I drive.  And I'm now driving less.  Sometimes I have to drive back from Tulsa in the middle of the night.  2 hours of me on a 2 lane road with nothing inbetween.  That's when I need Rico's episode reviews most!

I go several months between syncs and my nano (1st Gen) is fine... I did notice that the time was off but that was amended easily when I synced recently.

Months??  How do you update your nano with new podcasts, music, etc. to listen to?  Or don't you use it much?

I listen to podcasts at work on my Mac via iTunes. My iPod is reserved for music that I listen to as I drive or  the  MP3 Stereo system I have in my livingroom at home . :)

Same here. Most of my podcasts are listened to while I work. I sync when I head out to the car (which is less often since I started working at home). Once I have a daily communte again I am confident my syncs will go back to every morning.

I sync when I remember where I've put my iPod. I don't have a particularly long commute to work and usually can't hear over the noise anyway so I tend to reserve my iPod listening for bed.
