the output on the shuffle was probably the best I've ever heard (before it fell apart in my hands, Three Stooges style) for a portable music player.
I wouldn't buy a hard disk iPod, but I will definitely repurchase a Shuffle as soon as I gather my funds back.

In addition, rumors that Apple will make an announcement regarding the Beatles catalog have circulated for some time and may come to a head tomorrow. The rumors have been partially fueled by content selections in the leaked iPod interface videos and also by the recent addition of John Lennon's solo work to iTunes.

mother fuck YEAH.

2 years.

Hmm, you should be coming up for a battery replacement right about now.

Hope you've got $200 spare.

Once again, rubbish.

Rubbish again. Wow you're full of shit today.

Originally posted by Beat Blog Their software...shit.

It's not shit but it could definitely use some improvements.

quote:

Originally posted by Beat Blog Their design...shit.

Ahahahahahahaha! They pretty much sell because of the design (and marketing of course). Ever wondered why so many companies tried to copy it?

quote:

Originally posted by Beat Blog Their battery life...shit.

Admittedly yea it has been going downhill with every new version. Plus the battery replacement is a bitch but that's standard apple bullshit for you.

quote:

Originally posted by Beat Blog Their capacity...shit.

Umm...what?! 80gb is not enough for you? I've got a 30gb and it's plenty for now.

quote:

Originally posted by Beat Blog Their price...shit.

Actually failry cheap these days after the price drop at the end of 2006.

quote:

Originally posted by Beat Blog Their headphones...complete shit.

Not true. The headphones aren't top of the line but they more than do the job.

quote:

Originally posted by Beat Blog See where I'm going with this?

Bagging out the ipod because you're so anti-ipod and have probably never owned one, or you are a disgruntled ex-customer who happened to get a dud?

quote:

Originally posted by Beat Blog The only thing that isn't complete shit is their marketing, which has evidently done the job...

Their marketing is fantastic. As much as I dislike it, it does the job.

...

Now I'm no apple fanboi. In fact anyone that knows me will tell you that I fucking hate Macs and most other apple products but the ipod. Their marketing gets on my nerves, their products are usually way overpriced, fixing things is a bitch, and their OS for the mac is the worst fucking piece of shit ever invented.

But...their ipods are good. The sound quality is brilliant (read any review, anywhere) even with the standard headphones, and especially with the newer design ones. Sure if you're a real audiophile you can go and get better headphones but there really is no need. Generally they are pretty damn good with a few niggles here and there and they don't sell so well just because of the marketing and because it may be "cool" to have one.

Well, that's sort of a moot point anyway. You're listening to MP3's, which are highly compressed anyway, and sound crappy. The difference between the various players' sound quality is almost negligible.
