If traditional radio no longer grabs you, use iTunes to find hundreds of Internet stations from around the globe, including legendary alternative station WOXY.com. Just click the Radio icon in the Library list on the left side of the iTunes browser. Then click on the triangle next to the genre of your choice. Click on the stream that appeals to you and then click the Play button.

Watch YouTube On Your iPod
Wired magazine's August 2006 issue included this guide to downloading YouTube Latest News about YouTube videos to your iPod. We tested both the Windows and Mac instructions and they work well, as evidenced by the amazing 1973 Genesis concert films now playing on my own video iPod.

For Windows:

1. Add the Greasemonkey extension to your Firefox browser.
2. Go to www.userscripts.org and install the Download YouTube Video script.
3. The next time you watch YouTube, you'll see a Download Video option beneath the screen. Click it to save the file to your desktop or hard drive. Rename the file and save.
4. Install and launch the free video converter available at www.erightsoft.com.
5. Select "Apple iPod" from the Output Container option. It should automatically set the output video codec to H.264/AVC and the size to 320x240. Drag the converted file into iTunes, and it's ready for viewing.

Lots more tricks your iPod can do over at Mac News
