Hi yes you can add an i-pod. i think they did change it so the music folders are hidden and can't be found in scratchlives file tab.

here how i do it on xp. goto 'control panel' in windows then click on 'folder options'
then click the 'view' tab scroll down in the list to ''Hidden Files and Folders'' and click show hidden files and folders. Then Press OK.

Now connect your i-pod, it will most likly open i-tunes. close this down as you dont need or want itunes running.

now open scratchlive press the + at the bottum to make a new crate then call it ipod music for example. now on windows togo ''MY Computer'' then find your i-pod drive mine was (F:). Click this to open the folder and now you should see you have more folders than before, now fine the folder called ''iPod_Control'' click on that to open the folder then find the folder ''Music'' open that and there will be a load of folders all your music is in there, when u open them the file names are randum ones that the ipod makes but if you just highlight all of the folders and then drag them to the crate you made in scratchlive it will scan all these tracks and add them with the original file names.

then you should be good togo.

Hope this makes sence and helps. Not sure if you can edit the tags. and i havnt tried it out only in offline player. but good luck and let us know how you get on.

cheers woolsey.
