Yeah, I think you need USB 2.0 for the newer iPods, bot 100% sure though. I am not sure if iPods function through a low-speed USB port.

As for data storage, you should put it in disk mode. press + hold the select(middle) & play buttons for 6 seconds to do so.

No, a USB 2.0 port is not absolutely necessary.

From the Video 30GB box:
"Requires Mac or PC with USB Port (USB 2.0 *recommended*); Mac OS X v 10.3.9 or later, Windows 2000 (SP4), or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP2); and iTunes 6 or later"

Hope this helped!

I didn't say it was impossible, but is is going to be slow; and when I say slow, I mean slow!

Oh! I know, I know....just didnt want to send this person off under the misconception that you can't "plug it in" or something. But seriously if your computer doesn't have a USB 2.0, that's probably an indication that it's time to move on....PCs are really cheap nowadays..maybe consider buying one....soon :)
