My iPod is up to date and powered up for a day of listening at work.

I thought my iPod was broken as two pairs of earphones did not play the right side of the stereo tracks. So I tried different earphones but they were dead too. I thought my iPod was broken but it still played stereo on the Harmon Kardon receiver. Instead, I used my PSP and also on the PSP the right side was dead. In the end it turned out two pairs of earphones were dead. I am now using my original PSP earphones with my iPod and this works fine. So my next computer related purchase might be some new iPod earphones and at the same time I might buy from Apple a mini-DVI to DVI adpater to use with my Macbook.
