[Podder]

First of all, I apologize if I post anything (i.e. any issue) that can be found in another post. It's just that my ipod nano clone has several issues and I don't have time to search for them all (although, I will be searching later for any additional info).

These are a few of the issues that is causing confusion or that I would like to solve ASAP:
1) The player arrived today. It came with a 'mini' disc (aka 'portable disk?'). HUH? This is typical? I was expecting the standard size. I have no player for this disc. I am hoping I can use the MP3 Utilities provided by this site instead. Is this possible?
2) When I opened the packaging, the player came on for a few seconds and then shut off. I am assuming the battery is too low and the player needs to be recharged. Would this be the reason? I notice there is a 'dead player' category on the forum. I am hoping there is no problem here with my player. I plugged it in with the recharger and there is, currently, a red and green light.

3) I read the procedures for 'examining the player hack' and I'm hoping to try this very soon (as soon as it's recharged or I find out what's going on).

Btw, additional info:
* 4GB player, black, came with skin that doesn't cover the screen...

4) I would like to replace the skin. Do ipod skins fit on these players and the would like it to cover the screen or are all of them cut in this way?

5) I assume I need an adapter for the headphones. Is this a pita for anybody? Will this annoy me at all? I didn't know about this before buying the player. I'm asking this because I will probably upgrade the headphones.
