I guess when you earn $5 an hour learning you just wasted $500 on something that doesn't live up to your expectations can be a real kick in the teeth.

Like I said earlier, most people who are looking to spend this much on a music player do their research. I'm not one to throw away 300+ dollars when I see a better option for myself and my needs out there. If I felt that there was something better for my out there, I would have gone with that, but what I found was that I don't need much so I went with the most appealing simple player on the market. Coming back with the comment of price and belittling someone because of their choice in product is immature. Grow up and sort your points out before you come and attack someone.

i am not a fan of apple or the God forsaken m4p, but i do like my ipod! and no i don't flaunt it around... what's the point? haha

however, i refuse to fall into the trap of buying ipod after ipod... i have a nano, but it's not the nano video. ahh, apple must be rolling in the money and laughing due to their planned obsolescence in the products and releasing version after version of ipods.

US people tent to like Ipod more since this is prolly the first time they designed something that looked arite comparing to the Japan elec stuff.

I say if you're going to buy a product worth a few hundred without doing any research, you deserve to get ripped off.

I request a .rar'ed version of the thread.

i like those little clip on ipods. i dont know what they're called, but i'd probably buy one of them if my random chinatown player died.

But I do accept your apology and I hope in the future you will not get so upset about things that happen online.


You go ahead and post that PM boss - I'd love for everyone here to see just what you consider "ranting" and "angry.



The only person I see getting "worked up" here is you - but I understand, it's tough learning that you and your opinion don't matter to anyone other than you.

Apparently it matters to you.

Boredom lowers ones standards for entertainment.

But if it makes you feel good to believe I'm really, really invested in this (just sitting here patiently all day, waiting to see if someone replies to me and wants to argue) you go right ahead, it is the holidays after all!

Thanks a lot. After all, you thinkings and doings matter so much to me, I was just dying to find out how you felt about this paticular subject.

I've got one and I like it. If you've got something against that, bite me.

I had a nano and i loved it, but due to the amazingly low amount of space on it (4gb) i bought myself a new iPod Classic 80gb. It is equally as good as the last one, if not better in terms of the functions it carries out and its design. HOWEVER I do have a few problems with it:

  • it has a volume limit which really really pisses me off
  • it scratches itself shitless wen you even look at it
  • my battery runs itself down very quickly
  • the actual software on it lags sometimes, as well as the click wheel not being particularly effective at times


Don't have one myself got a Toshiba but:

1. That is kinda inherent to any digital design though.
2. LOL
3. Diy a usb charger outta 4xAA batteries to the black and red wires(put the + to here). Think it's 4 you need can't remember made one for a mate tho (basically about 10xs the battery power and replaceable - good for holidays and stuff).
4. Thats cos it's the "classic" which is in fact different to the original and all other ipod in that it uses cheaper parts, like the DAC is way shitter.

Yeh but in the volume limit is in comparison to my old ipod nano. The full volume on classic is about 75% volume on the nano. I read somewhere that its a EU restriciton, which is fucking stupid tbh

iPod touch though, now theres a miserable experience. I render this extremely overrated mp3 player as completely useless due to its tortured user interface; touch sensor. You cant 'touch' anything on that for shit, it FREQUENTLY either doesnt recognize what youve wanted to 'touch'or it executes something else. And with all that said, this makes the iPhone JUST AS USELESS. Even more so seeing how your going to be sending text messages, dialing (although the buttons on the num pad are big enough even for fat ass mcdonalds loving americans with fat fingers).

Must be your sausage like digits, because I've never experienced any of those issues. Also, the iPod does have an EQ

1# Ah right thats a bit shitty lol.

2# It does indeed, was thinking of making them and selling them on ebay actually lol.

3# Hmm well I know the new classic had some stuff cut back like the DAC. Apparently people complained about them. Actually could be related to the volume problem. Because the DAC drives the headphones (probably indirectly). As in the classic has a different DAC to the entire rest of the line.

Also the nano is pretty recent so wouldn't think there will have been new regs applied since it came out.

...is completely untrue from an objective standpoint. I own one and have had absolutely no issues with the touch interfact, it's very responsive and has never once done something I didn't want it to because of poor touch detection. I send email on it frequently with no issues. Further, it "does" far more than just about any other MP3 player on the market (find me another one that will run all the applications my touch does and I'll eat my hat).




And the extra features are?
Solitare?
Other mp3 players can look at photos too
Wireless internet is bloody expensive
