Help fellow Ipod lovers

I have my wonderful new video ipod, I have copied all my music over and now i want to put on my episodes of Supernatural. What convertors do you use, I have downloaded ImToo 3GP 3.1.6 but I dont know if I like it or not.

I had problems getting any videos on the ipod, whats the best way to transfer it over.

Does anyone use there Ipod as there alarm, I think by setting a playlist I can wake up to music when I have it connected to speakers. Is this right. I cant take it to work till my cover comes home but I will get it all set up till then!
