to be fair to nix, since we update our ipods from the same computer, the songs on nix's newer ipod were put on with my play count. i'm pretty sure the annette number is all mine. (if it had been 10, my next five were: firefly-tony bennett and kermit the frog; pineapple princess, annette; blame it on the bossa nove, annette; april come she will, s&g; moon river, audrey)

zen-i have the world's oldest ipod-if you plug it into the computer, and look at the whole list of music, you can see the play count.
