ok so what lucky bastards have one of these? I'm seriously thinking of getting one soon with my student loan, i'd like to wait for it to come down in price but when's that gonna happen?? oh and what earphones do you use? i heard the earphones you get with it aren't very good, i might get the new sony fontopia earphone, anyone got these? |
||||||||

i really fuckin want one soon@! |

Theres new ones coming soon, so the price on the older ones will be smaller... (Toshiba, who makes the harddrive has released 30 & 40 GB drives now, coming soon to iPod... Nice to have all tracks with you all the time BUT - I don?t like that the thing hasn?t got any recording and that the battery is an internal one (to change it costs almost like a new one! It only works for about 18 months, if you are unlucky...). |

i think these mp3 players are overrated buy a cd player that also plays mp3's. mine only cost me 75$ and i have virtually unlimited storage for 2cents per blank cd. 'course if you need the portable hard drive capability then the 75$ cd player isn't going to do the trick. |

...eh, well Apple is going to present a new music service in April. They will then also release new firmware to all iPods giving them ability to play AAC audio (the new music service uses AAC). There will be an update of the current line of iPods then, maybe a new design even! /avart (who loves his sony md - 5 hours recording time!) |

I got a 10GB iPod last year, and although I first thought that they were very overpriced, I have since changed my mind and recommend them to anyone. I am a biologist and do mostly solitary work in the lab, so it is perfect company during the day. If you have a job such as this you would benefit from one for sure. |

where the fuck do you get blank cds for 2 cents a piece??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, thats rediculous.... 50 cds for a dollar? i think maybe you mean 20 cents a piece? (20 bucks=100 cds?) crazy talk |

I got a 10gig ipod for $400. The earphones aren't the greatest so sometimes I plug in my Sennheiser eH2200 when I'm not at work. The only thing bad so far was my carrying case. They are made with some cheap parts as far as the clip goes. I broke mine today because I was getting out of my car and I think it got stuck on my seatbelt or something. I looked down and my ipod is lying on the ground in its case with a missing clip. Thankfully the case itself is a decent shield against dropping your ipod, so I just leave my ipod in the carrying case and put it in my pocket instead of clipping it to my belt :P Anyways other than that its been great so far. |

Yeah many seem to have problems with the clips, there are lots of replacements though! The trancelucent iSleeve is the coolest so far, almost unvisible! |

You mean - food is more important than music?!? aside from jokes - sorry to hear that, better now? |

chekc the player by emagic called the "Treo" i've got one on order and they are a third the price of ipods for the same storage though they're usb1 if that bothers you and they're ugly as sin, if that bothers you too neither bother me as i'm slow and unattractive anyway |

how does the creative zen compare to the ipod? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
lol I see the iPod as cool and slick, but still, 20 gigs of music? that is a fucking ton to ever get through. If I got an mp3 player, it would be light and portable. blah, what do I know about anything |

i'd like to recommend you people a new swedish product called "Jens Of Sweden" (lame name i know) MP 200 HD. it's a 20GB MP3 player that also works as a removable HD. it uses USB 2.0 (480 mbps transfer rate! faster than firewire), has a built in radio, a line-in for recording (!) and also a built in microphone. when recording, it encodes it directly into MP3 (quality from 32-128 kbit/s), firmware upgradable, packed full of features... and the best of all; it's almost half the price of a 20 GB iPod (here in Sweden anyways)!!! 3475 SEK / ~406 USD http://www.jensofsweden.com i should be a salesman right? ;) |

i have over 25 gigs of mp3.s i really need one of these things |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you really saved my day, i need one of those things SO desperately and didnt know how to be able to pay it... and finally this product is named after ME!!! 8P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one question, i already e-mailed apple but they still owe me a answer...: what bitrates are possible on these i-pods? btw i dont see a way how to get me that great swedish product, asides that it is still unreleased :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ijonspeches: depending on how you import your cds, any biterate will do. although (duh) higher biterates take up more room. if you're using itunes, which i do, i find 160kb/s works great, that is the advertised biterate (1000 songs for the 5gb) |

i got an ipod this past christmas, the 5gb model. (+): - holds 1000 songs at 160 kb/s! thats plenty for me! - sleek and easy to use! - fits in your pocket! - works wonderfully! haven't had any real problems (-): - is a bit heavy, but this is not a huge problem - earbuds suck, i use my old sony over-the-ear types - internal battery needs charging about once a week, depending on use, and will be mighty expensive to replace that's it. i have used this thing everyday since christmas and i love it! i have a groove jacket (the clear rubber sleeve), only prob - it gets kinda dirty. i also use it for transporting my files from school to home, so the option of it being an external hd works great for me, dont need to use zip discs as often! |

thanks for that bitrate hint, forck_02lynix sounds like it doesnt even matter what bitrate i have on my mp3s if i just import them via this software these ipods are using. ok, now i only have to get one of these. im waiting for the Jens of Sweden i guess, just a couple of weeks, and if they send it to germany im going to be a lucky owner of such a wonder. maybe apple will make it cheaper soon, and it may have a chance then... hach, im so happily and eagerly waitng ;P |
