Worth it. I got one a couple of months ago and it is fucking awesome. Trust me, if you can afford it and are thinking about it then do it.

They are nice. I cant imagine *not* having it now, so I guess that makes it good, although at times when I have been in the house for days with it on the shelf it seems a bit expensive. But when I am busy it is almighty :p

I will get one if my sony MZN1 minidisc player cannot be fixed. Its broken right now, but it fucking rules. Plus I can do field recordings with it, wire my mixer into it for recording, etc.

That's the one downside to the iPod!!! I so wish it could do that. Its such a shame that lesser players can but this can't.

Just get the Creative Jukebox. You can get twice the memory (i.e. 60GB) with a Creative Jukebox for the price of an iPod with half the memory (i.e. 30GB). I am fan of Creative products and probably always will be, but an iPod is an iPod and I guess that just makes them more desirable.

That's a nice price for a 60gig player but where does it stand compared to iPod? Is the sound quality better or worse or has it got something that should have been done better or what? It looks really good and I just might buy one this summer.

I also can't even imagine life without my iPod. It goes everywhere. I have all my contacts/calenders etc on it. Comes in handy. Plus having all your music in one place is so worth the big pricetag.
The only reason I'm not all that happy with the price is that as soon as the next version come out I'll definitely want one. The 4th gen iPods are supposed to have a color lcd and tv out. You'll be able to store all your photos from iPhoto and show them on a TV. I also hope they include some kind of mic in for audio recording.

I has a pretty good EQ. It will eat up the battery faster thoough. I've never had to use it. I'm 3/4 full on my 20g model. Have all my cds on there, a little over 1800 songs.

so there isn't anybody out there who has a Zen player then? Because 60 gigs sounds really nice... and most of this doesn't sound that bad.

I got the fucking "exclamation folder" of death last night. iPod is completely busted and now I have to go through all the shit to send it back in to apple and hope that they'll replace it. It's under warranty till June 10th, but because they're so slow at everything, I bought the extended warranty thing today. All in all, it looks like repairs are going to cost me about $150 :(
and their website keeps giving me a "sorry" message when I try to request a repair. Very annoying.

The negative thing about the Ipod, is the ridiculous battery time. 8hrs is not enough. If YOU have owned an Ipod for some time now, have there been any decrease in playing time?

I heard that there's no random play function on the iPod?
i love random play functions
i'd love a random "mix" function too - where some funky software intelligently pitch shifts tracks to match each other.

The battery lets it down big time. I bought mine 1 1/2 years ago and after a year the playing time was reduced to 4 hrs. At the same time it started to behave strangely and would not mount on my mac. I got it replaced by a new one cause i had two days left on the warranty (lucky me). But since the new ones are shipped with better batteries i cannot tell how it is now. But you can buy new batteries if that is needed.
In general I think the iPod i well 'ard. I use it mainly as a backup disk and roadtest my new tracks. Also it is perfect for vacations when you don't want to drag a bag full of cd's. I bought this iTrip thingy that lets you transmit to a radio, and that must be the coolest accesory for iPod ever.
And it is so beautiful.
