ipod - worth it? (2 Viewers)

[ur_inner_child]

nah cuz i found a link that listed some ipods with different model numbers

i'm such a freak

nevermind me

thank you once again

lol that's ok

prolly best to ignore the model numbers anyway lol - you can tell which version an ipod is just by looking @ it

ipod battery

i have chosen to avoid ipods due to the short life of its battery and the $100 fee to have it replaced by apple. it may in some circumstances come under the warranty, but for now im not going to take the chance

I hate iPods, if I could go back in time I'd get an iRiver. My battery died and as a result i've murdered the sides of the case trying to pry it open because i refuse to pay apple $199 (or however much it is) for a refurshable iPod.

iRiver H320 > iPod

while my sucker friends are complaining about their iPods having a crappy battery life, i'm enjoying watching some newly downloaded cartoons on my player (with updated firmware)

plus the iRiver also extends into a portable HDD so i can store my homework onto it, without the need of drivers, which many schools restrict.

...not to mention i can listen to the FM, record lectures with high clarity, read TXT notes and look at photos, all on a bright colour screen. the sound quality is insanely good, assuming you've ripped it your MP3s at a high BR (320kb) and have bought yourself some quality headphones.

so far my iRiver has ~3000 songs all ripped at ~256VBR and i'm using Etymotic 6i in-ear headphones. quite simply, the sound smashes the living shit out of the iPod with stock earphones - which i see so many people using, it makes me think they are seriously idiots.

edit: fixed up a lot of errors/grammar

no offence..... but who the hell watches movies/cartoons/tv etc. on a little handheld mp3 player?
it will be a short-lived novelty

eh, nothing else better to do on the bus/free lines.

the quality is surprisingly excellent (given the video is encoded at 900kbs).

lol
still though, i dont think i could stare at a little screen like that for more than say.... a minute and it would be a huge drain on the battery would it not?

what's wrong with it?

 

[ur_inner_child]

well right now i'm trying to figure out why each time i plug my ipod into the computer, it freezes. It's not like I'm doing anything wrong here... It worked well enough to put 900 songs in my ipod not long ago. But when I plug it back in from then on, my comp freezes....

yep its a new ipod...... it just plugs into a usb port on your computer and transfers songs that way
holds proably about 100-200 songs depending on the quality of music files u want
and no theres no way to choose what song u have up next as far as i know, its just random

Try www.google.com and type in 'Ipod Shuffle'.

ic .. thats interesting.. i guess its not too bad unless you dont want to listen to a particular song.... (of course then it probably shouldnt be on the ipod in the first place)...
