Hi Guys,
I'm just about to buy a 60Gb ipod, to dump my music collection onto. What benefits does Sveta have over iTunes? I have already bought dbpoweramp, will I need to pay full price for sveta or not?
Also, I'm currently using 'Tag and Rename' to add album artwork to the mp3 files. I already have the artwork in the folders for PC browsing, do I NEED to tag the files as well or not to display on the ipod screen?
Cheers!

Yes, right now you have to purchase Sveta for full price even if you already bought the dMC PowerPack. The reason is that it would take too long to find and verify your PowerPack purchase and there is a fee charged per transaction.
At some point in the future, Spoon plans to release upgrade packages, but for now you have to purchase either Fully Loaded, or them separately.

As to the advantages, you can try Sveta free for 30-days and see if you like it. The trial is a time-limited fully-functional version.

And your using "Tag and Rename" to add artwork to mp3 files? Interesting, I didn't know that would work. I think for the artwork to show up on the iPod you would have to transfer the song using iTunes, as I think iTunes embeds the artwork in the file itself.

To answer part of my own question, Tag and Rename will work. I have installed iTunes in readiness of the iPod being delievered and of the tracks I have tagged with images, they display in iTunes.
Cool!

I am currently using Sveta with my palm T3 and although it works fine it does not display albums/artists/genre properly, it just shows a list of tracks on my SD card. Its only a 512 card so this is not much of a problem.
I am thinking of buying the latest video ipod. Will Sveta display all the tag info on the ipod correctly.

Thanks

That depends on if the original files are tagged correctly or not.
