Waste of money. Get a CD player/Cd Burner. 370 dollars cheaper.

lollergots.
They aren't a waste of money if you listen to music alot. I take my ipod everywhere and listen to music everywhere... even during school sometimes. Now the Ipod MINIS are another story. Those are a major waste of money. 20g for $350 or 4g for $300, obvious choice.

Do you have 20GB of music though? I have 600 songs on my iTunes and that's only 2GB.

Onizuka · 2004-08-30, 08:15 PM

I have a 20 gig. Use it all the time, don't need more space, love the sleek look, good controls. I didn't wanna fuss with it, just put my whole music collection on it and its there.

I like em alot. my friend let me borrow his when I went to PSU:MA. big life saver on the flight down. Im getting the Sony Network one soon I think. comes with a subscription to DL music, 30 hour battery life, and 40 gb memory, I think.

Pros:
Storage
Organization abilities
Ergonomic controls (<3 volume wheel)
Backlight

Cons:
COST - in the name of all things good and holy it's expensive, plus some accessories you may want makes this a hefty, hefty investment.
iTunes - unless you use Kazaa/KLite/Emule/Bitorrent/CD, you have to use iTunes to get the music, which is true with everything but still.

I have used about 15g. I have my music and half my hard drive on it(POS Computer, just ask Setari). Oh yeah, and my porn collection, but thats just me....

Get an iRiver, I hear they're better

It rocks. BIG RECOMMENDATION.

Note to those seeking Ipod repair:

Customer service rocks in every aspect. Almost.

Here's my story:
After getting it confiscated at school and losing touch with it for 3 weeks, I get it back, One problem, the hold switch doesn't work anymore. So I go on Ipod support page, get a repair form and everything (free repair [any excuse] for 6 months). They ship me a box with a shipping label and a lot of "comfy" stuff to put the iPod in, So I see the shipping label, and being the dumbass that I am, I just hand it to the Postman. BIG MISTAKE. Apprantly I was supposed to drop it off at a DHL (something like UPS/Fedex) dropbox [LESS THAN A BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE] So a month later I call up Apple, wondering where the fuck it is. NO BODY FUCKING KNOWS. NOBODY. NOT THE FUCKING POSTMAN, NOT APPLE, NOT THE POSTOFFICE, NOT ME. NOBODY.
Apple support did not include a fucking letter on how to ship it to them. Even though they said one was sent, with an e-mail.

I have the Third Generation iPod it owns, good battery life firewire and plus its the most widely recognized and best brand name MP3 player. Best that money can get IMO, iRiver seems generic to me.

Doop · 2004-08-30, 09:04 PM

Get a MiniDisc player. Them things are koo.
