DurableTear Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 USB 2.0 is downwards compatible with USB 1.1 Your iPod will work fine but you'll need to download the latest version of iTunes so you can upload music to it. http://www.apple.com/itunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTrizzle Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 wut do u mean by downwards compatible? i do have itunes actually but i dont even have the pod yet so everything will work fine right? im aware that the connection speed will be slower at soemthing like 10 mb/sec but damn thats good enough for me anyways...that can do an entire cd in like 6 seconds... thanks for the help DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebirth Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 USB 2.0 is downwards compatible with USB 1.1 Some USB 2.0 hardware might not work for USB 1.1 hardware. DTrizzle, you always can buy a USB 2.0 card and install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJC Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 on a side note, i really like iTunes. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsFans46 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Yes, the USB 1.1 will be slower than the 2.0, but, as others have said, it should work. I don't think that an entire CD can be transferred in 6 seconds - the 10MB/sec is the maximum transfer speed, not the sustained transfer speed (think of it as like a hurricane, which has gusts of wind that are higher than the average speed). Still, I don't think you'll find it particularly slow, though if you do, USB 2.0 cards are getting less expensive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTrizzle Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 yea i dont think i should have a problem either....even at 5 mb/s i could get 60 mb of mp3s (approximately one album) copied in 12 seconds...thats not bad at all but your right...i could just get a usb 2.0 card for 10 bucks at compusa and im not computer retarded so i would have no problem installing it thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
