Changing a Mac iPod into a Windows-format unit is a simple process. You should note, though, that doing so involves completely reformatting the hard disk inside the player. That means that you will lose all your songs and playlists if you don’t back them up beforehand.
Now, onto the reformat. First, you need to download the latest software update, making sure to get the Windows download. Then, with no other iPod-related software installed, plug your iPod into your machine. (That means that if you have XPlay or MusicMatch Jukebox installed, uninstall ‘em.) Run the file that you downloaded, and it’ll install the updater software to your computer. You may have to reboot after this, and then, you’ll find the iPod Updater under your Programs menu. Run it and follow the directions, and at the end of the process, you’ll have yourself a Windows-format iPod. (You can verify this at the bottom of the About window on your unit.) That’s all there is to it.
I’ll say here that reformatting my iPod solved my freezing problems, and immediately afterward, I copied 3 gigabytes of music over to it without a hiccup.
