ive been thinkin about this alot... its like 400 bucks... but it is like 40 gigs, or something... and holds like 2000 gigs, and can be used as an external hard drive im really tempted... cause i got so many cds, and it would be nice not to have to switch cds every few mins... or to carry ALL my cds with me on trips... but i dont know... any one? anyone have one? |
||||||||
|

|
|
I WANT ONE!!!!!! But you are wrong on a couple of things: They are in excess of $400+ They come in 5 or 10GB sizes, not 40GB. The 5 GB holds 1,000 songs, and the 10GB holds 2,000 songs. Or, atleast they are supposed too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh thanks for clearing that up i know it was 2000 songs... just wasnt sure on the actual storeage really more then 400? you sure? it just seems so great.... but i wonder if they will make a new one with like 20 gig memory... and if i should wait and see.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, Im sure. Its probably actually more. But I sure as hell want one! Im waiting until the 5GB prices plunge and then Ill buy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm but i think it might be worth it... and imagine... you can carry it around... or just plug it into the USB, and play the mp3s AHHHH i love technology |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Assuming you have a Mac? And it only works on firewire, sorry. Not USB. Technology is great, but sometimes it can jump up and bite you in the ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i got an iMAC i assume it has firewire? its one of the newer models |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and technology is great... but only when it doesnt bite you in the ass :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, its not the NEW one... but its not old its the 500 meg one... the dark blue |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D iMac huh? Me gots an 8600/300, a 5200/75 LC, a Powerbook 180, and a powerbook 165c. And its firewire all around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, I was just about to ask what color it was. I prefer orange, my friend has an all white iBook though and it is SWEET. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont understand all those numbers and stuff but it seems like alot of computors so do you think i got firewire on mine? hey, aint nothin wrong with iMAC. sure id like a power book... but hey, my parents paid, so i aint complaining |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the grey one too but dark blue is awesome too imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, I have 10+ computers me thinks. I bought all of my own stuff. I would bet you do since its 500MHZ. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooohhh rich independent boy! well, you cant woo me with your pocket book mr! rock (but why so many?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea, you should have 2 firewire ports on there somewhere. Just plug the little bastard in and install the software. Although it is supposed to work with iTunes, I would bet you have to install some drivers first. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have no idea what about computers and that crap. it's like a second language when you start talking about firewalls and usb ports. sure i can opperate one well but i have no idea what makes a computer tick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but still man... just plugin the iPOD, and you can listen through the comp (which i have hooked up to my stereo), or you can unplug it and make it portable damn i want to buy so much... what to choose!!!!! i have a big cd wish list i want an iPOD i want an XV-5080 w/xpansion cards a mini disc w/ mic to sample shit etc arg college students lives suck |

First, lets get one thing straight, there is now way in hell I could be RICH. Second, I dont have a pocket book, and I have no idea where my wallet is. Third, Im a computer addict. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but seriously... what do you use them all for? is there acutally purposes... or are you just super addicted |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both, Usually they run Counter Strike and Team Fortress Classic servers.But Im setting them up to be web servers. I do various things on my 8600/300, aka my 300MHZ Mac, and I do pretty much everything on my main computer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sweet so.... for servers... how does that work? do you ever touch them? or jsut let them run all the time? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, you just set them up to do what you want then you let them run unless you make constant changes to whatever they are doing. (i.e. changing maps on a CS server, or updating a website on a webserver) |
||||||||

cool i wish i knew more about computors. i am doin synthesis as my major, so i am gonna learn alot... but not like too much non-music stuff i want to be a techie! |

|
|
Im over qualified to do some tech jobs. Which is what I want to end up doing, I want to be an IT for a large company. (thats the guy who handles just about everything that is computer). Im working with a hell of alot of stuff right now, Windows 2K Pro, MacOS 7.5.5-8.6, FreeBSD, Linux, SQL, Perl, Delphi, and learning how to set up an Apache webserver on Linux. |
||||||||
|

yeah...I have dreams about Ipods/MP3 Players as well... There's a nice new HD player just arrived from RIO...it's 20Gig and retails for £299 (I think, might be 399..).. looks pretty smooth as well, matt black with a large LCS screen...(a little similar to a GameBoyAdvance, I guess...)... I know how much I love my MP3CDPlayer and how it lets me carry all my music with me easily....but this thing would be even better; My whole Music collection in one little black box....mmmmmmmm Worth being patient for a little longer tho I reckon...give it another yr and we should see the above sort of spec from several different suppliers and a big drop in price; 20gig for £199 I reckon is a good price point to look out for...(How funky would a MP3HD player from Bang & Ollfson be....)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it was £399 and not £299... pity... Argos are selling it in the UK...you can see a pic and read a bit more info .... Tech like this could turn a brother to crime...;).. |

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Pro Tools, Reason, but you should get Meta Synth. That program is BAD FUCKING ASS! www.metasynth.com You can get the demo,the whole version is about $400. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

iPod is worth every penny. I've used a few and they just get the job done, like Macs. The only thing stopping me from buying one at the moment is that there's no line-in so you can't connect a microphone or do a direct recording. But I've seen it take just over 9 mins to fill-up the 5GB HD, now that's FAST! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hmmm, sounds good zeus, i can´t wait :D!!! does anybody know what a smartmedia-slot for mac costs? that´s one of the first things i´ll need, to connect my sampler ... |
