iTunes versions 1 and 2 are both available for OS 9. However, I think Apple has removed support for OS 9 in the third-generation iPods. I find that frustrating since they provide better Windows support than legacy Mac support.

No they don't. You can't use iTunes on WinME or 98. XP and 2k are pretty much the same thing. OS 9 was dead years ago.
wait, my Dad is planning on getting an iPod mini for his OS 9 machine, are you guys saying it won't work with his iTunes??!!! also, isn't this a digi-hub thread?

Yep, from the iPod spec sheet:
Quote:
Macintosh computer with FireWire port; Mac OS X v10.1.5 or later (Mac OS X 10.3 or later recommended)
The new iPods require iTunes 4.0 which doesn't work with OS 9.
The old iPods are fine. In fact, many people prefer them because they have mechanical controls and longer battery life. Of course, they're not as sleek and compact, and they don't work in OS 9, so there's the trade-off. You'll have to either get an older iPod or a newer computer.

Or, get OS X. Thats the best option yet.
Than next time, put iPod questions in Digital Hub.

Your dad needs to upgrade.
