I just ordered a 20gb iPod. What do you think of iPod's? I think theyre frickin neat.
I Dispise Ipods..
I have a Mini Zen Creative which can hold 1250 songs. Surely thats enough?
Who needs to store 10,000 songs?
Who Has that many?
There so weak aswell..
My 20gb has (or will have) 5,000 songs. Looking at my whole music collection I could easily fill the 5,000.
I like normal mp3 players better there much smaller though my 60 gb ipod is pretty wicked with up to 15,000 songs which I can put in there
I have that many.Quote:

But my problem with iPods is iTunes. I hate iTunes.
I may be getting a Rio Karma 20 GB in a about a month. Does anyone have any experience with one?
I have a 20 GB iPod. It's awesome. I love it. And iTunes is good too. :)
i use a walkman
I have an iPod, but I never asked for it. I like it though; so much simpler than carrying around a huge cd player. The only problem is that the earphones make my ears hurt if I have them in for...a few hours. I could always get new ones, but that takes time out of my busy schedule.
:D
Same here with those headphones, I despise them.Quote:

No, they're the ones that go into your ears, but they hurt so much.Quote:

I hate both of them >:OQuote:

I would think about getting an iPod if I were to travel, but I would still buy cds rather than download music.
Or you can buy CD's and then rip them.
We've had a topic like this in the past.
Basically, iPods are fine, but other portable music players are a much better deal as many of them support more formats, have longer battery life, more features, etc...
I don't own a portable music player but Creative labs music players are often a better alternative to an iPod.
I wouldn't mind having an ipod, but at the moment, I don't need one. woohoo
I JUST BOUGHT ONE! HOW FRIGGIN COOL IS THAT?
It's the new 20GB + picture iPod. Got it from BestBuy
iPod=robbery waiting to happen
I have a 5 GB Zen Micro. It's really nice. I just wish it had OGG support. I also agree with fridaysong.
My iPod is sexy.
I can't live without my iPod. But I suppose I would have been happy with any really large-storage mp3 player. It does look rather sleek, though, but the telltale white headphones mark you as a theft target.
I prefer listening to MP3s on my PSP.
How much can it hold?
Five gallons.Quote:

Depends on the memory you stick you've got. The one that comes with it is 32 MB but they can get up to 1 gig which is the size of the iPod shuffle.Quote:

I'd love an Ipod, although I'd probably pick a different MP3 player first, partially because it would probably be a bit cheaper, and I wouldn't have to use Itunes. But I don't have any money. :p
My Motorola m500 is perfectly fine with me. 5 GB is more than I would ever need, because my playlist only consists of 383 songs and that's less than a gigabyte. I can't comprehend how anybody could have a playlist of over 1,000.
The numbers go up quick when you rip a few cds~Quote:

Not everyone listens to an assortment of songs they like. Sometimes I want to listen to a band, not just random songs I like. I've got 17 gigs of music.Quote:

I couldn't stand to flip through over 1000 songs, let alone remember most of them. =p
The main reason I want an ipod is because my expensive discman wont survive much more of me carrying it everywhere. I had two of them and one of them got covered in water and the play or stop button wont work because I fropped it so many times. My CD's are all getting scratched and Im not going to go make a load of burned copies just for the sake of keeping the originals safe. Plus I hate swapping cd's constantly. Ipod is perfect for me.
I don't mind iPods, but personally I'm happy with my Mp3 player, it can hold up to 1000 songs, and to be honest I don't see me wanting more than 1000 on there at a time. :)
They are so freakishly expensive here, I wouldn't even consider buying one. I have a 256MB MP3 player, which is modest but cool. A 1GB one would be nicer, though... and not nearly as expensive as an iPod (which costs around 5 times as much).
Yeah. I've had my iPod for about 2 weeks, and I have 400 sounds on it, but the vast majority of those are CDs I've ripped. I only have about 50-60 songs that I've gotten from iTunes.Quote:

I swear you people are lazy

Yeah, you're definitely right about the life. It doesn't last 12 hours. It last more like 3 or 4. I have to recharge sometimes once a day. But I still love the iPod.Quote:

Thats just an added bonus ; ) I've used the touch and click wheel on my cousins iPod, It makes me feel superior and modern.Quote:

Hurrah for walkmans, though i might be geting an MP3 soon *crosses fingers* it is annoying if you're in the mood for a song and realsie that you can't change it because you haven't brought that CD with you.....
Remember kids, the bigger your iPod, the bigger your <*Snip/>
Ryechu's buddy group is called:
"I won an iPod! Now I'm unique"
captures my sentiments on the iPod.
I hate it. So many better things out there.
I'm not a fan of Ipods either. I used to use a CD player which was no problem for me because usually when I am out I have a bag anyway so carrying a CD wallet was fine please the sound quality on my CD player was far superior from any you could get from an mp3 player. They cut out chunks of your song with their silly compressions and you are not meant to notice :|
Then I sat on my CD player one and the lid fell off so I need to resort to my mp3 player which has about a gig of memory, though it doesn't have as many songs on it as a normal one (due to me cranking up the bit rate of all the songs I rip to as high as I can get it).
I really don't like iPod whores, you know, the kind of people who walk around showing off their iPod and wishing they were a black sillohette. I hope they get mugged.
Als white just isn't my style and I am not having a iPod with U2 on it of all things.
P.S. They don't even look that nice.

I hate them as well. I just stick with me good ol' CD Player. Nice long battery life it has.
I've had that buddy group before I even got an iPod. xDQuote:

The ear buds even came with two pares of soft covers to put over them so I have no complaints with them and any other set of ear phones will work fine also. I havent had any battery trouble. I charged it last night for less than three hours and the battery was full and its been running great all day (plus I left it run as I slept last night and the batter has yet to kick. Yeah it was expensive but its such an upgrade from burning cds, carrying a klunky disc man and skipping songs that arent working because of scratched discs. And this is only the 20gb (5000 song) model. Every complaint Ive heard for it has proven false with my ipod to say the least. If you ask me rebel wannabes just dont like whats popular.
I don't understand. How are you supposed to browse your songs when you have 5000 of them? :eyebrow:
EDIT: but the recording iPods are awesome. <3
Well, the iPod is super organized, it organizes your songs by playlist, artist, album, song, or composer. I usually just use artist and play list, because on the playlists, you can see all your purchased music. :)Quote:

And the ability to hold 15000 songs is nothing to me because it took me 6 years to get to 1000, so yeah. For now CD player is fine.
