Currently= Ipodless

What's better, Ipod mini, maxi, nano, special U2 edition or good old MP3?

I've heard a lot of bad things about the Nano. Apparantly the extremely thin faceplate cracks and breaks very easily and iPod will NOT replace them, warranty or not.

I have a Mini, and it's worked extremely well for me. I love it, havent had a single problem.

Aside from the Nano, they're all pretty much the same, just differences in size and color, so that has to do with your personal preferences.

The nano is crap I heard, the mini is nice, but I'd just go with the normal 20GB one, colour or not. I have that (except without colour) and it's great. :)

But it really depends on how much you listen to music. If you listen to music a lot, go for a big iPod or a Rio. If not, go for a iPod mini or one of the small Rios.

Since getting an ipod in July I must have left the house without it like, 9 times. As I understood it an ipod is an mp3 player.

I would suggest shopping around. I've found many places to overcharge just because it's an iPod and people will shell out stupid amounts of money for them. Also, look into other brands. Some brands offer the same level of quality at a fraction of the price.

An iPod plays mp3s, but it's different from most mp3 players.

If you're going to get an mp3 player, make sure you get a rechargable one. iPods are expensive, but you save loads on battery replacement costs.

I don't like it. iPods, MP3 players, personal CD players or even walkmans. People should just carry about record players and bags of vinyls. And with huge big headphones, like the ones that they used to use for sonar.

I'd say let's go back to the big boom-boxes they had in the 80s, the ones people used to carry around on their shoulders. Can't beat the good ol' days. :D

uh why exactly? It plays music so it cant be all that bad. It categorizes my music better than most(all) of my media players too.

Ipods are the best. I dont get why they make smaller ones. Less data, easier to lose, easier to break. I say get the original Ipod, but they are pricey....

I find the iPod Nano incredibly sexy. Although, I wouldn't ever buy one.

I don't give a damn whether its 2mm wide. The advert proves this.

"What good features has the Nano got?"
"None"
"Okay I KNOW MAKE THE SELLING POINT THE FACT THAT IT'S AS WIDE AS A PENCIL"
"But that sucks"
"You're fired"

The pictures of the nano make me lightheaded. So freaking small.

I bought a black 4 gig nano.

iPod Mini's most practical...

i own an iPod 4 gig (or w/e the largest one is). it holds like, 8 days of music. i have like, 800 songs = 2.4 days.

iPod mini -- small, and just the right ammount of space you need -- plus they're cheaper ^_^

EDIT: ::after reading teh article on the nano:: ... nano sounds nice, if ya got the cash for one, that is

I got mine for free, otherwise I wouldnt have one xD.

For those with/planning on getting nanos, watch the screen. Seriously, if it breaks, the warranty doesnt cover it, and those things are breaking like crazy.

I recently paid 300 bucks for a 40 GB Creative Zen Touch and I'm quite happy with it. I don't need an iPod.

My friend just got a Nano. It's tiny. I mean, it's really really small. Really!

Itty bitty little thing.

I feel like I could snap it in two using just my pinky fingers. It's that miniscule.

It's like the Ipod that the Borrowers would've used.

The thing should come with a warning label in case curious little toddlers accidently swallow it.

Uh yeah, I have the regular 20 gig Ipod.

i listen to so much music.

but i'm not rich enough for one. i'd take any of the ipods if i could have one though.

EDIT: i'm like the only kid without one. and i'm freaking asian.
JAPAN=TECHNOLOGY. what the hell? i'm half japanese, and i don't have half the technology that i should have! grrr!

Frankly Im Suprised that Bill Gates has'nt made some sort o' Winpod or sumthin like that. Ipods are way overpriced considering you have to pay for music if want it legely. Then again cd's are way too overpriced too. Frankly Music all to expensive. But I invested 80$ on my Sony CD player. So im gonna use that. :cool:

my mp3 player takes 1 AA battery every 100 hours of continuous play time...

You can play plenty of stolen music on ipods.

Because I didn't want to spend a lot of money, I picked up a bought-and-returned iPod Shuffle for $70. While not the best as far as power or options, I pick this solely because it's economic and darn useful. A shuffle can store about 100 songs, and it just shuffles through them. I realize you can't pick your song with this, but when I'm using an iPod I really don't think that's necessary, you just put good songs on it and let it go. It's a good, economic choice for someone who wants the convenience but can't spend too much.

Mine too two AAA and ate them like nobody's business. My iPod charges everytime I upload anything, and everytime I hook it up to the charger in the car.

edit: And yes, you can play any mp3s on there. I havent bought a single one, I just use what I download on SoulSeek.
