I Pod- is it worth the price?

So I'm about the only dude on the planet I think without an mp3 player, and I'm so sick of CDS.

I'm taking the plunge.

I just want to know if the Ipod is worth the money or not, so post up some personal reviews of your mp3 players (any brand or model).

Thanks.

I have one and I love it. I got the 30gb Video. I used to have a 20gb Gigabeat and it tanked on me about 3 mos after I got it. I have had my Ipod since then and have not had a problem with it at all.

eh, fuck apple

everything they make is overpriced, you're just paying for a brand name

It's between creative and apple.

I think if I can still buy songs off Itunes and use them on a creative zen, I'll just save the money and get the creative zen.


I'm not sure if I can do that though lol.

I probably won't buy off itunes very often, but I might want to in the future.

I'm pretty impressed with my friend's creative.

I don't think you can. Tracks bought off iTunes are protected and can't be played on any MP3 player except the iPod. Apple are sneaky bastards in that respect.

Bastards.


So then you're left with using filesharing I suppose, which leaves you open to being sued then.

ive had my 4gb mini for a year now and it's never let me down. the battery lasts, no problems whatsoever really.

the only thing is i thought 4gb would be enough but it isnt. i think i should have got the 20gb. i keep having to move stuff about.

They certainly don't help the filesharing situation. Plus another shitty thing about iTunes is that they don't offer any MP3's with a quality higher than 128. Perhaps they'll change this in the future because there does seem to be a demand for it.

Really? Were the tracks actually purchased off iTunes though or just used on the program?


Posted by RickyM on May-30-2006 14:34:

Ipods are great, my one has given me no problems in the 6 months I've had it. But I wouldn't buy off itunes, as the files you download seem to be quite restricted.


Posted by Mothers on May-30-2006 14:37:

I have a 30 gb Ipod that i bought from BestBuy which costs 379+100 dollars for the the three year plan+ another 50 dollars for case because it scratches like mother******. In total it cost around 550 cdn, and no it is not worth it, your not going to videos on it because it kills ur battery, so i get u get the 4 gb nano.


Posted by EarnYourKeep on May-30-2006 14:40:

just an FYI!

My sony nw hd3 i've had it close to 2 years now, I can go about 3 days of using it before it needs to recharge. It's STILL going and I haven't filled that 20gb's up yet lol...

ipod boo

The three year plan I assume is an "extended warranty."

I hate to tell you, but those are almost always a scam.

Like I said, I like the creative zen, but I just don't know where to build my music collection legally.

I guess you guys all fileshare, which I used to do too back in the good ol days.
