Default Ipods what do you think about them?

I think that ipods are overrated and way to much money for them even though you get like a 4megs of memory. I just wondering if anyone else here thinks that they are to much money or overrated....

Yes, iPods are overrated. Yes, iPods cost too much money. Though, I do think they are the best portable mp3 players available.

You get more that 4 megs...

Shuffle

1 Gig

Mini

4 Gigs - 6 Gigs (new model)

Standard

15 Gigs

20 Gigs

40 Gigs

They're overpriced, but I don't think they're overrated. I love my iPod, the only thing I don't like is the fact that you have to use iTunes. It would be 4830 times better if I could just use it like a USB drive or something.

You really don't know what you're talking about, do you?

Anyway, space is not an issue. But yes, they are overrated. You have to deal with iTunes, and you're out of luck if you want to transfer music from your iPod back onto your comp. I keep my entire library on my Creative (way superior to iPods imo), and I can put any of it back on my comp at any time. Plus, iPods get bad battery life (8-12 hours) and cost way too much ($300 for the 20 gig, right?). On the other hand, my Creative gets 25 hours battery life on a 6 hour charge, and costs about $200 for a 20 gig (I paid 185 for mine).

I hate Macintosh, so that point you made doesn't matter. I wasn't saying it offensively, so don't get all worked up about it.

Default RE: Ipods what do you think about them?

I love my I-pod also.

Space isn't a problem for me. My I-pod mini can hold like 700 songs or something, and most of the stuff I put on it is band and game music. So unless I downloaded all of OCRemix, I don't think I will run out of space.

Also, I listen to it mostly at night before I go to bed, so If it runs out of batteries, I just plug it in. Then in the morning, when I wake up, it's charged and ready to be used again.

I love the touch panel song selecter too. It makes it easy to skip songs. I like it better than my old mp3 player that made me click the fast foward button 50 times.

So with the iPod Shuffle, does it let you select what song you hear next? Or is just permanently on shuffle?

Imeric and anyone else wondering.. AIM me I can send you a plugin for winamp, basically you put songs on your playlists on Winamp then rightclick the songs and click send to -> Ipod. It's 100000x better then Itunes and works a lot better.

That was possibly one of the worst first posts ever. Good job for being the dipshit of the day though.

Agreed.

I own a 4th gen (I believe its 4th gen) clickwheel 20gb iPod, and its about half full right now (2600 songs so far). I use it everyday when I walk to campus and during class too. Even though its battery life is "teh crap", I see nothing else wrong with it.

sorry, don't know much about the I-pod here, and don't feel like researching it right now...but why can't you transfer songs back onto your computer? ps...does it run with MP3's, or does I-tunes have its own format?

Uh, he was calling himself a geek. Not you.

I have an iPod. I didn't want it, but now that I have it, I can't think of what life would be without it. I have to walk 10 minutes from my car to class for every class of the day. That could be 10 minutes of silence or 10 minutes of anime themes.

Also, I got the 40 gig. I have never even broken 10 gigs of music at one time. Why would my parents think I need a 40gb iPod when I didn't ask for one at all? Who knows...

Same thing for me came home from school on my 16th birthday instead of a car I get a 40 gb Ipod. I love the thing and have over 1000 songs on it but that is not even close to filling it I do not think I ever will. Too poor to afford music cuz all the moeny goes towards my new old old old crappy car.
