    I don't know if this completely relates to the notebook discussion but I thought that someone might in her would probably know this.

    I own an iPod Classic right now, 160 GB formatted currently for Windows. In iTunes(on Windows) I currently have it set at "Manually Manage Songs and Videos." I'm wondering if when I plug it into my MacBook, if it'll sync my songs in iTunes right away and I'll lose all my songs or if it'll ask me if it wants to sync. I'm just scared because I don't wanna lose the songs I have because I don't have backups.

    iTunes is a very popular but horribly quirky program.

    I don't know about anybody else, but iTunes is incredibly stable for me. Hasn't crashed or frozen at all.
