Can I load songs onto my Ipod from my MAC and then go directly to my PC and load them onto the PC?

    Not until you capitalize iPod and Mac correctly.



    And no, not using iTunes. There are utilities to get around this, but it's a basic level of copy protection to prevent people from just distributing music via the iPod.



    If the Mac and PC are on the same network, you can have both iTunes copies point to a shared filespace, I would think.

    Assuming your songs don't have digital rights management (copy protection) on them, you could copy the music files from your Mac to your PC using the iPod as a hard disk.

    To make ipoding between Macs and PCs easier, make sure you format the iPod on the PC. This will mean that both machines will be able to read and write to the drive.



    Make sure your iPod is set to "manually manage songs and playlists."



    There are numerous programmes out there for Mac and PC that can take the songs from an iPod to your hard-drive.
