My OH has just upgraded to a new Samsung S3 phone with Orange.

re. How iTunes handles uploaded CD's
I have noticed that when I upload a CD which includes tracks by different artists, iTunes seems to treat them as entirely separate tracks and not as an album. So when i view my albums list on the iPod, the tracks have separate entries. I would prefer them to be together. Would that be any different if i had bought the…

Can I upgrade memory on my Creative Zen? Or should I just buy a new player?
Hi :) Hope this is in the right place... I've had a 32GB Creative Zen for a couple of years. Generally happy with it. However, my 32GB is now full :( I've noticed there is a memory card slot in the player. If I put in a bigger memory card (say, 64GB) would this increase my storage space? Or does the fact that this is only…
