This evening I discovered an old IPOd which I bought several years ago, not understanding that I would need Itunes to load music on to it. I didn't have, nor did I know squat about things Apple. I filed the player and, honestly forgot about it until this evening! Now I have Itunes and know a bit more about Apple things!! Can someone tell me what I have? It is about as long as my index finger and looks about the size of a A A battery if you had stepped on it! At one end it has a three position switch and a small headphone jack which takes earbuds with controls and alternately an USB cable with a phone plug to load the content and charge the battery. I've figured out how to play, stop forward and go back but don't understand the use of the three position slide switch, except that the position furthest from the jack seems to turn off the device. If I can find good quality headphones that aren't earbuds I think I could learn to like this player a lot! Thanks a lot, everyone. Pat, K9JAU
