Shouldn't, should just download music from your PC to theirs. As theirs is new it won't delete anything from their. I don't use that auto synch thing for just that reason, just in case.

I thought that only one iPod could be registered to iTunes per machine to stop illegal copies.

Not as far as I know, I've had multiple on my personal PC...then again those were two Shuffles and a Nano I've updated for othersm those it differentiate between different types of iPod? Or it's a recent restriction. There was some sort of restriction on downloading from iPod to PC but like I said I don't use autosynch, I have my iPod set as an external drive and use Sharepod. Music you purchased through iTunes can only be played on up to 5 authorised PCs but that's not the same.

Worst that will happen will be that it will freeze your PC and report you to the local peelers

   Ah I'll not worry too much about that MM as long as i don't loose anything on my itunes
   or effect my own ipods syncing capabilities.

Back up your iTunes songs first on CD.

You should. Not because I think you're going to make a mess of it, but it's good practice. I copied my stuff over at the weekend and then deleted it off the PC. Speeded the computer up no end.

Was thinking of buying myself an i-pod, what would you's go for:

8GB I-pod Nano (the new small one) or
80GB I-pod classic?

I like the smallness of the nano but im undecided.

P.S how do you transfer videos, movies etc onto you i-pod?
