Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 4:51PM While I attempt to figure out exactly what I want to do with this site, I probably will not be posting as much as maybe I have in the past. School and work have been busy lately, and has left me little time to tend to this site, but I wanted you all to know I'm still here and still planning on something for this little corner of the web.

So I have a 32gb iPod touch as a portable music player. When I purchased my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, I was pleased to know that it came equipped with Sync, so that I could take my iPod with me in the car. During the first sync to the car, all of the music transferred properly, and almost all of the songs would play without difficulty. Over time, several iPod software updates came along, followed by several Sync updates as well. After the first time I updated the iPod with new music, and re-plugged it into the car, it no longer worked correctly.
It would take HOURS for the iPod touch to completely index and then when it would index, it still would not be able to play all the songs. Over time it would not even play 50% of the songs on the device, skipping to the next track time and time again.
Today I purchased a 16gb iPod nano. In the past, when I have had iPod adapters and interfaces in cars (mainly through the aftermarket), the nano always seemed like the device that would work the best. It has faster seek times than the classic, and is not nearly as complex as the touch.
So far, after my first synchronization, it appears that the nano is working perfectly fine in the Fusion. I will continue to document my woes as time progresses. I love the Sync interface, but I just want it to work well with my iPod as well.

The Ford Fiesta review was superb, and the Twingo fell short. Other than the first episode of this series, I have been somewhat unimpressed. 2.5 out of 5.
