Anyone here have an ipod? I'm considering getting one and wanted some feedback. Is it worth the money? I have some information on how to get a free one (saw a clip on CNN), so I might check that out too. PM me if you want this info about the free one. Rock on.

I bought a 40 gig Ipod a month or so ago..i had the hardest time getting it "ready" to put my music on. For some reason, I didn't really install the software the right way...and calling tech support was useless. Although, there IS a website which has a forum, not unlike this one, where people post problems that they're having, and people help each other out. After I found that out, my problem was solved (very easily might I add). Since then, I have been able to transfer all of my CDs...over 600...onto my 40 gig Ipod. My CDs are now safe, in my room, at all times, as my Ipod goes with me wherever I go...easily hooking up to the tape deck in my car...allowing me to listen to any song/album that I own. Its endless amounts of music, and the battery lasts for about 12 hours before having to be recharged (which is a simple process as well). I highly recommend making the investment...Once i got it up and running, I haven't looked back

hope that helps

dont buy an ipod. it's a waste of money. there're better mp3 players.

I disagree 200%

do you have an Ipod?

yup

why don't you enlighten us as to why you think its a poor purchase?

mac!
has anyone told you about the -20db drop at 60hz?
what about shite battery life? sure its sexy as hell, but its not the best player on the market.
i also have another mp3 player wich isthan ipod and offers superior (and its proven too) soundquality, batterylife is pretty excellent too and its light.

i'm probably going to be getting the one from Dell.

I have it on good authority that this should be getting much better in the next few weeks.




Oh Kommie, you're killing me.

haha.. i love mac! actually, i use one very often.. Final Cut rules!!!

but let's face it.. it has lots of disadvantages..

I will never face that.

What kind do you use?

does that free ipod stuff really work????
has anyone on here gotten a free one
thanks

I did all the stuff to get one, but never have... there was an article in 'Wired' that said it was legit though.

today my computer died and the only link i have to my musical database is my iPod. here is the question i have for you: is there a way to upload the music i have on my iPod to either a newly purchased iPod or my parents' computer? much thanks.

yes there are programs you can find out there

For christmas I got an 250g external hard drive. I have since moved all of my music onto that but left my itunes on my actual hard drive. As long as I have my external plugged in, i have no problem playing music on my computer or syncing my ipod.

Now, how can i load a cd directly onto my hard drive? Right now it imports them into itunes on my laptop hard drive, which defeats the purpose.

Also, when I download something, the winrar file goes onto my hard drive and I have to move it to the external hard drive. is there a way I can have it automatically go to the external hard drive?

any program suggestions?
