iPod Classic character list
October 29, 2008
7th Son listener Romero has created a new text version of the Character List that can be viewed on iPod screens! (His work is based on an original design by Tygan.) This is a fantastic feature, if you want to reference the list while you’re away from an internet connection.
Loading and viewing this Character List on your iPod is a breeze. Here’s the step-by-step:
1) Click here to download “7S_Notes.zip” — this .zip file contains two text documents. When unzipped, these files will be in a folder called “7th Son.” Leave the folder alone for the time being.
2) Connect your iPod to your PC. Wait for iTunes to load.
3) In iTunes, go to Preferences. Select the “iPod” icon at the top of the window … then the “Music” tab … and then click “Enable disk use” box near the bottom of the window. After that, click OK. (See image for help.)
By doing this, you are allowing your PC to view the iPod as an external hard drive. Don’t worry — after you load the .txt files onto the ‘Pod, we’ll change this setting back to default.
4) Now, head over to your iPod on your desktop (or through the Finder or your Windows Explorer, blah blah Windows vs. Mac, blah), and access the drive.
5) Inside, you’ll see a folder called “Notes.” Simply drag the recently-extracted “7th Son” folder into this Notes folder. The files will copy in seconds.
6) Now go back to iTunes to disable “disk use” mode. Choose Preferences, then de-select the Enable disk use box. Click OK. This returns your iPod to its original state.
7) Now spin that iPod’s click wheel and read those notes! You can even begin playing your 7th Son MP3s directly from this cool notes area! (You can easily access the Notes files by navigating to “Settings” > “Main Menu” > and choosing “on” for Notes. Now Notes access can be done directly from the iPod’s main menu.
Thanks so much to Romero and Tygan for creating these note files, and allowing me to share them with you!
