My friend has a 5.5-Gen iPod Video model, as well as a nano. There are a few music videos that he would like to be able to view on iTunes as well as his video iPod, but would also like to simply listen to the song on his nano.

In my case, there are a few music videos that I'd like to be able to view and listen to through iTunes while I'm at home, and simply listen to the music on my non-video iPods.

Just because it doesn't exactly fit your lifestyle and usage habits doesn't mean it doesn't fit anyone's lifestyle and/or usage habits (i.e., it may seem silly to you, but that's only one person out of millions).

Well! That ... is ... riDICulous. EVERYone in the entire world should use their iPod EXACTLY like me!

I have the Fourth generation iPod with color display, and aftter the update to iTunes 7, I too got the Music videos playlist. But I must also say that I love my iPod for the music it is playing, and would rather feel embarrassed of owning a newer one with video capabilities. Just not interested of anything else except audio in my pocket. And audio it does extremely well, even if it's old.

So from the irony I guess you _do_ see the purpose of the feature now.

Well ... er ... uh ... no.

But I *am* going to try to download a music video and see what it looks like on my teensy-weensy Nano screen. But only for viewing purposes, not for audio purposes. I have *songs* for that.

You could play the music, extract the music video into frames, then play through a slideshow of the video while listening to the music..

There are people who have done this. I remember reading about it long before there was a video iPod. It takes a very steady thumb to get the proper framerate, though.

If it's possible, geeks will do it.

It'd be like a flip book, with a nano

You could match it up pretty well if you had a one second framerate, you could just setup a slideshow..

That would be pretty sweet, though it might take some getting used to watching movies that way.

EDIT: It wouldn't be too hard, see this. I'm seriously going to try this once I get the time..
