 Why is the inability to delete stuff directly from your iPod not considered a grievous failing? |

Because iPod's suck?
No user replacable battery (which dies after about a year I hear) and no removable memory. In short you're limited to what you buy.
My existing MP3 player, which unfortunately I broke a switch on, uses standard AA's and takes a CompactFlash card.
I'm thinking of replacing it with a Sandisk Sansa e140 which has 1GB of internal flash memory and a SD card slot (for another 2GB). It uses one AAA battery. Screw you Apple. -

There is plenty of non-Apple software that will allow you to do just that.(at least there is on the Mac.)
I once had a disk crash and the only backup for my old radio programs was on my Ipod. I used non-Apple software to transfer my programs from my Ipod to the repaired Mac

I never have had a battery go bad on an Ipod. Mainly because I keep replacing them with the newerest Ipod that is smaller and better than the previous one. That is the American way. The new Ipod nano is unbelievably great. -

I have a 40g third gen original battery no problems. i would rather use iTunes as the small sensitive controls would end up with me deleting stuff by acident. my shuffle however has a worse flaw it won't pla podcasts!

Anony ... have you upgraded the iPod firmware? It sounds like you have, else the podcast option wouldn't even show up. I'll have to try that on wifey's.

Why? I fail to understand why the ability to manipulate the song library on my iPod on a convenient computer, on a viewable screen, with regular keyboard, through iTunes, is just not another component of iPod's genius. If iPod sales were lagging, or something, I might see the point...
Oh, and my original battery (in my 2nd gen iPod) lasted 3 years until it got down to around 4 hours play time, when I replaced it myself with a higher capacity one from Newer Tech, that has run for 1.5 years. Nope, no complaints here. Mine's even scratched, and I haven't sued. I must just be too easy to please. -
