I would like to be able to skip an album when I’m listening in shuffle albums mode.

I like the idea of current song jumping, but I won’t hash on that, too many people already have.

The main thing I’d like to see (as previously mentioned by a few) would be the ability to manage playlists directly on the iPod itself. As of now, all you can do is create an on-the-go playlist. What I would like is if you could create/delete/modify playlists on the iPod without having to sync with iTunes.

A new interface would look nice too. I’ve grown somewhat tired of the plain white and black text with blue highlight. Maybe its just me, but I think it would be fun if the iPod interface was more customizable (sp?) with themes or something.

Lastly, I’ve had three iPod’s replaced now because the battery just doesn’t last. Maybe I listen to it too much. If so Apple can ignore this. If not, I think there should be some serious work/research done in the battery department. Like I said, I’ve now had three iPods replaced for free by Apple because the battery fails to cooperate with me.

* How about foldering of playlists?

* How about a choice in “Smart Playlists” to select Art or no Art… right now it’s kind of a pain, and can’t be done dynamically. (this is a request for iTunes)

#13, if you manage your iPod manually, you can create smart or regular playlists via iTunes. No, it’s not doing it via the iPod, but it is possible.

make the interface more cool
and incerase the number of applications which can be run from an windows computer without releasing another model
just update the software
better do it quick or everyone will migrate to zune

I really think working smart playlists and smart playlist creation on the ipod itself would be amazing. My other suggestion would be syncing your ipod ratings and playcounts everytime you sync it, the fact it does not keep that info synced already is just sad.

Branching off on the ‘go to artist’ idea, if wi-fi is implemented, how about browse artist catalog on ITMS, go to artist wikipedia entry, browse on amazon etc. Much like the latest version of foxytunes can do with current track.

Integrate movies with the imdb and rotten tomatoes, perhaps youtube browsing? doubt that’ll happen though, but would definately sell it to the teenage market
