How long should I go without syncing my ipod?

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 can't take it anymore, I have to sync and it's only been 6 days!

I sync every evening.

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.

I sync mine everytime i go on itunes. I only have a 4GB so i need to remove the podcast that i have listened to.

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 every afternoon before I head out to work. I gotta' have my podcasts and music for work.

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.
