Hot Tips For Your iPod Or Mp3-Player

1. As you add and remove tracks the space on your iPods hard drive may become fragmented. To get around this the iPod is forced to split up the files and fit them into the available space. When it comes to playing back these tracks it then has to search for the separate pieces and pull them back together again which takes time. This will slow your iPod down. The more tracks you have added or removed the longer it takes for your iPod to play them back. To get around this reformat your iPod every 6 months or so, you will have to refill it each time but it is well worth the effort as it will be faster and more efficient.

5. To down load real seven time converter (visit my site to get the link to this free converter).
