Michael Hyatt is urging iPod users to be cautious 
about upgrading to iTunes 5.o:
"Despite the hype from Apple, I strongly urge you not to upgrade to this new version. Wait for iTunes 5.1. This version of iTunes is slick, and the new search bar is way cool. But—and this is a BIG but—it has compatibility problems with standard iPods."
He then goes on to list some of the problems that he has had with the latest incarnation of iTunes.
"My advice: unless you have bought one of these new pieces of hardware, don't upgrade. Wait for Apple to acknowledge the problem and fix it. In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can find a copy of iTunes 4.9 and downgrade to it. (If you know where I can download this older version, please let me know in the comments section below.)"
