have you always been able to use the two in conjunction with one another?
this is a new install. RB was working perfectly. i decided to try the switch back to original firmware per instructions which worked, but i couldn't get it to switch back to RB. after following the instructions to get back to RB, which didn't work, i decided to unistall and reinstall RB.
i'm now back to RB but to paranoid to try switching back to original firmware. like i said it's not a big deal. i pretty much wiped my ipod clean to free space. i only have a few purchased items left on it. always hated itunes anyway.
