its taking me a full year to truely hate my ipod nano. actually what i really hate is the software itunes. -transfering songs to and from the ipod is a nightmare. sometimes the songs i added to itunes dont show up on my ipod. -why isnt there a seperate library for itunes to use just as a media player on my computer. where as the ipod tries to add anything in itunes (and sometimes doesnt as mentioned above). -deleting tunes from itunes: one at a time only. you cant drag over dozens of songs that you want to delete at once, no you have to spend some quality time clicking each one which brings up a box every time making sure you really want to delete. so my question is, what mp3 player should i buy now that i am within moments of breaking this fucking piece of shit in half? help. thanks |

are you mental, or just unaware of the power those shiney 'shift' and 'control' buttons on your keyboard hold? |

|
oh and on topic, get an iriver id say. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a shortcut im unaware of? lemme check. tell me that the iriver just uses windows folders to add and delete songs and DOESNT come with its own shit software that you have to use and im sold. thanks thanks again, ok deleting will be easier. |

well i used to have one 2 years or so ago, it just mounts as a harddisk, you have to create your own directories on there and stuff the songs in. dont think they changed that. i have a 30 gb video ipod now (spilt beer over the iriver, traded it for the ipod because i still had warranty bizniz to cover 'defects'), i like it a lot. interface looks nice, itunes i got used to. there's a program called podplayer that lets you extract songs from the ipod back onto a computer, in case you didnt know. |

I can't see any problems with the ipod / itunes dealio, to be honest. Are some people just slow?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if you say having a hard time deleting tunes in itunes is slow, YES! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the hatred really begun when i updated itunes to the newest version. i dont remember having as many problems with the older version. so ok im slow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really can't see what the problem is! How many are you deleting? Can't you do it as a smart playlist or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
honestly are you running itunes on a windows 95 machine or something? i've got it on my crappy work computer and it works well. |

I have no idea either. Most of the time I hear people complain about itunes putting their files in folders in a certain way and they rather want to store the files the way they like. Ok, you could go to options and unclick the "let itunes decide where to put your files" option, or something similar. What's the deal? I think itunes is a delight. Working with the library and playlists the way it does. cword, good luck with your iriver |

agreed, using winamp to tag my collection was a pain in the balls. if i started working on my collection of music now with itunes, i probably could have taken care of it all in a few weeks time instead of 2-3 fucking months...esp with the find the album art thing too...even if all of the stuff i do own isn't on itunes, i wouldn't have to drag it on every f*cking file...and i'd only have to find like maybe a handful of albums instead of all of them |

itunes used to be fine, but it's a bit of a hassle these days transferring shit to the ipod... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
see, i guess thats all im really saying here. itunes (the newest version) is making me hate my ipod. i wish there was a way around using itunes. i wish i had a rabbit in a hat with a bat. |

quit moaning it is better than walking around with two hundred cd's even if they do throw a wobbler sometimes. |

I'm satisfied with . Not as eyecandyish like the iPod Nano, but it's cheaper and you transfer files just by dragging files and folders in Windows Explorer. I didn't have any problems with my iPod Mini with iTunes, batch deletion and transfer worked like a dream. |

select a song then shift click somewhere else in the list to select a load to delete double click a playlist to open it in a new window then u can drag between playlists if theres no tags on your mp3s ie just a filename the only place you will be able to find is under the 'all songs' bit i have an oldish iTunes but if theyve changed any of the above theyve gone bonkers |

i hate having to use itunes to put fuiles in my ipod, but just because itunes it's a resource hog, there must be some software to add songs to the ipod that's not itunes, i know there are plugins out there for different mp3 players butthere none for foobar (i think) so... other than that it's great! cword: -you probably have the 'sync my ipod automatically or something selecte, check the preferrences, make it so that the ipod is seen as a hard drive. -you can certainly delete several files at once... crtl and shift keys man! windows 101! I also haven't updated my itunes (why would i? who uses itunes for other purposes than sending files to the ipod anyway ; ) so maybe this advice is uotdated... meh |

While I'm perfectly happy with my Sony after almost a year. Sonic Stage can be a bit of a bitch sometimes, but it's usually fine. Go Sony next time. |

just drag and drop into itunes |

When I had an ipod (before it died in the arse after 2 years) I did find some problems with itunes. - certain tracks just didn't want to transfer - even when numbered/listed correctly, some albums (mp3s) wouldnt transfer in the correct order but worst of all... - you can not use itunes on multiple computers with the one ipod! This, to me, is a FUNDEMENTALLY FATAL FLAW |
||||||||

|
|
do you have to use itunes? can you not just have it as an external hard drive and drag and drop to it? fucking ipods |
||||||||

whoa this dude is slow |

download a program called anapod explorer... it will let you drag and drop, upload/download mp3s from other computers. just keep the install file on your ipod and you can install it to whatever pc you need to get mp3s to/from. its pretty good but it costs money. torrents. |

i really am gobsmacked at how people can have so many problems with itunes and ipod, i just plug mine in and it syncs with whatever group of albums i want on there (in a playlist folder). If i want to delete songs i select what i want to delete and use apple/delete and wow, the are deleted... is it really that difficult for some people. If your problem is with shitty windows, get a mac, they aren't that expensive these days. as for mp3 player, personally i don't think there is a better mp3 player on the market right now, i've got the 8gb Black nano and nothing else comes close |

fuck itunes up the ass and change the firmware on your ipod. http://www.rockbox.org/ with that the ipod just appears as a drive where you drag in your music files. Not to mention it supports ogg/flac/gapless etc, has games it saps battery power a little quicker but its getting better |

No problem here at all with anything you described... you might want to start a computer course? |

i had no problems with my ipod for about a year and a half, but then it just kind of went defunct when i installed the new version of itunes onto my computer and i was never able to revive it..and even though i paid extra money for applecare, they would not fix it because it had a tiny ding in the back which had nothing to do with what went wrong with my ipod (the ding had been there for about 8 months, during which time it worked perfectly). |

I got one of those Nike+ kits for my iPod. It's really good, anyone else got one of these? It is essentially a glorified pedometer / stopwatch, but only £19 so I can't complain. |

Up until a couple of years ago you had to deal with tapes, what's the fucking problem with you morons? |

How do I play the tracks on a tape in random order? The only way I see to do it by by searching and/or pushing the reverse direction, but I always end up in the middle of a song. Quite annoying. |

Buy the Sony WM-EX658. It stops at the next song, if there is a puse for at least 1 second. ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Does it have a shuffle function too? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

same with me... im pretty sure ipods are just build to pop after a year and half they probably even have timers in them or perhaps apple just have a button they press to destroy the last batch of ipods just as they bring out some new fancy version those fruity twats. |

||||||||
|
|

|
|
oh yeah i tried to break aforementioned i pod to get it repaired under warranty, threw it on the carpet really hard, threw it down the stairs, at the wall... in the end i didnt have the heart to drop it out of a 3rd story window |
