I've put off buying (or asking for) an ipod for ages - mainly because I'm rubbish with anything vaguely technological. Hence this probably very easy to work out question
.
I've been bought an ipod nano for Xmas; one of the 4GB, 1000 songs ones. I put three albums on it today - which seems to have used 1Gb of space! These albums together come to about 30 songs! Looking at the little colour bar (that comes up when you first plug in your ipod) I have the right amount of audio (which shows up as blue), and a whole load of orange stuff which is named "other". I have no idea what this is, as I've only (attempted to) put on the three albums I just said.
So - how do I get rid of this memory draining "other" stuff? What the hell is it? Should I "restore" and start again and see what happens?
(this will be the first of many ipod threads from me. When I opened it, I thought "oh lord, there's three months of me stressing to come")

. Thank you for your other advice; I tihnk the best thing to do is clear it and start over. Other than that, I have no idea.
