… and you are wondering how it all works. Especially how can I tell if all the stuff on my PC is on my iPod… Well, Dave Winer takes the iPod to task. It’s for the most part pretty fair from a user perspective.

When is something on the iPod? How many copies of the music do I have?
Where the fcuk are they? How do you delete something? Is it really
gone? Why does it wipe out the contents of the iPod when I don’t say
it’s okay to?

Although I quite like the interface I did run into most of these scenarios trying to get my Aunt’s iPod up and running on her PC yesterday. Paul flags one of the more friendly responses, which is pretty useful in answering these questions.
