my ipod crashed. it reacts to virtually nothing. since you have no access to the battery i think i have to wait til it runs out of power which is hours. thats pretty shit! did you ever have this problem? i have to catch the next bus and i wont be able to listen to music during the boring busdrive and the walking thru the city. fuck it!

too bad. mine once couldn't open single song, but that's cause i'm using some buggy wianamp plugin instead of itunes.it was solved immediately with anapod explorer. so you can't turn it ON at all?
what's going on when you attach it to the computer? seek some help on ipodlounge.com, there are the best ipod users

it happen to me once and that was when a friend just disconnected the iPod of his dock without shutting it down properly.
you can always try to reset it..if that won't work you have to wait intill the battery runs out of power.

the cool thing about ipods is that you have over 2000 songs with you every time you leave the house and you can listen to any song you want whenever you want it (out of those 2000+-). however, i have to go to school now w/o music.

i love how poor people diss the ipod, the ipod is the shit. its the best walkman ever. don't mock it till you try it. if your happy with your cassette/cd walkman then good for you. but the ipod is the best portable music deviice ever. nothing beats it.

Heh... I just got an mp3 that reads cdrw. I laugh at you mp3 player people, cause it takes me 20 seconds to burn a 700 meg mp3 cd. I can carry one of those around with me for the day, most of the music I need on there (with a backup in my pocket in case I get bored of the first 100+ songs). New cd the next day. Don't have to bother with crashes, or paying $300 for an ipod.

it's true. only poor people dislike apple products. everyone who can afford them loves them. it's a fact. indisputable. if you have an apple product, you love it. there's no way you wouldn't love something you overpaid hundreds of dollars for.. no matter how much of a piece of shit it is, you're still going to love it. because if you didn't, then maybe that would mean something bad, like maybe you were suckered into paying too much for an inferior product.. and that would never happen. not to you. you're too smart for that.

most people choose a portable mp3 player because it is portable...

I'm pretty relaxed. I don't need to worry about 15 extra seconds if I am taking my time to get out the door.
And your talking about paying $250 extra for something that is about 1 inch smaller than a cd-mp3 player... I would rather spend the $250 on a synth or guitar or soundcard or something, or pocketing it for application to cigarettes and booze in the future.
Did you really use the term ponderous when describing the lack of portability of a cd player? I thought they were pretty damn portable... not cell-phone sized or anything, but my pockets would be too full anyway for another cellphone...

I guess I could fit a coke beside it in my jacket pocket... or something like that... maybe I could fit it in my shirt pocket with a pocket protector around it, just in case the battery leaked.
Jeez. Whenever I think about small electronics, I always worry about spilling coke on it.

are you talking about portable mp3 players in general or just the iPod?
I always had a discman which I was very satisfied with, but when it was summer it was a problem most of the time to carry it with me...thats why I choose a portable mp3 player
"something that is about 1 inch smaller than a cd-mp3 player " make it 2 if it's about the iPod and even 3 if it's about an usb-stick mp3 player

i bought my lady an ipod mini for christmas. it's cool. i like it. it only holds 4gigs but really that's been enough so far. it's easy enough to swap out albums i'm we're not listening to and replace them with new stuff.
but i still feel like i got ripped off buying it. it cost $250 or so. for the same price i could have bought a non-apple mp3 player that would hold almost 10 times as much music.
i'm not really sure what you are paying for when you buy an ipod. i guess it's easy to use. and its cute. but it's not (obviously) crash proof. and every fucking accessory costs so much money. my wife bought an arm band for it. it's basically a strip of elastic with some velcro on it and it cost fucking $30!
in summary, we love our ipod mini. but it and all of it's accessoies cost WAAAAY too much for what you get!

the ipod is not a very robust player. it seems pretty tempermental at times and far too prone to screw up, lock up, not connect etc. yes it is a nice box, but its guts are moody and rotten. i just had to reformat mine after not being able to get it to mount, or when it did it crashed my pc all the time. I have a 3g 30 gig pod.

My 3g 20gig seems a lot more reliable than my brother's 4g 20gig. He had one of these lock-ups a few weeks back and had to wait for the battery to run out as well... seems to be okay now though.

Ipods are like ugly children. No mater what problems and short comings they exhibit their owners just rave about how wonderful they are. I think it is a function of the ass-raping your wallet takes at the hands of each of them.
Saying that the Ipod is anything but the greatest thing since wide codoms is akin to admitting that you are a jackoff that has been bamboozled by Apple and all the hype.
