Problem: My wife's iPod mini is filled with a lot of music that she doesn't listen to (mostly mine). The problem is she doesn't like using iTunes (or ephPod) and relies on me to get music onto her iPod. Both of us generally use our mp3 players in shuffle-all mode but find ourselves hitting "next" frequently (I guess this also says something about our music collection?). It's more of a problem for full albums we buy and rip rather than singles downloaded from iTMS.

Desired Solution: What we really want is an easy way to trash a song on the iPod... or at least mark it so it won't be played again and automatically removed during the next sync. You would probably need to hold the button down for three or four seconds so you don't accidentally delete tracks.

Current Workaround: We can rate the songs we don't like with one star and then remove them during the next sync. This is too many clicks for my wife and more work for me.

Ideas?

By the way, the new SanDisk Sansa e260 looks pretty slick.
