great quality, but higher "prestige" price
any other mp3 player beside's apple's ipod line costs less. also the battery life is short, but not a big deal. and to people who can't figure out itunes store and how to disconnect, you don't deserve to own this or a computer if you can't use it!!!! i figured it out in about a minute. to disconnect, go under my computer, select "e" or whatever your usb port's labeled, and eject. Great MP3 Player This is a great unit. More memory than you could possibly need, plus the added bonus of picture viewing. I've had this one since March 2006 with no technical issues, and I have heard that the new ones that come in different colors have problems so it's too bad they don't make this one anymore. The menu is easy to navigate and finding the song you want is simple. The do it yourself on-the-go playlist is great so you can change and add the songs you want to hear. Great player, definitely buy a cheap wall charger and/or car charger for this because the color screen chews up the battery life. Thrilled with my iPod Purchase!! The Apple 4GB iPod Nano AAC/MP3 Player I received is excellent! It arrived in great shape and works very well. My son is thrilled!! Thanks!! I purchased the 4GB iPod for less than the price of a new 2GB iPod at Wal-Mart!! How Long to Charge???/ Ok, the 2 girls wanted one each. Looks simple, 1st page plug and and follow the directions. Well page 5 tells you how to change it, I have it plug in and charging going on 3 1/2 hours and still on the opening screen, do not disconnect. Frustrating because of ITunes software and support You can only load music into the Apple Ipod Nano through your computer on a program called ITunes. Loading the software onto your computer can be a major problem. I downloaded it and it refused to open. Apple's literature and online "support" was useless. Simply stated it is not user friendly, it does not tell you what to do in plain English. As usual a GOOGLE search with a few key words produced a number of boards loaded with people with the same problem. Thank goodness these people are kind enough to post solutions. In this case it has to do with the fact that the ITunes software has to operate with another program, a player called Quicktime. If both of these programs are not properly installed you will have a problem. The solution seems to be to first remove both programs entirely, restart your computer, and then install Quicktime (alone without ITunes) first before installing Itunes (alone without Quicktime). That's how I got it to work after 2 hours of repairing, installing, uninstalling, etc. Another problem is that it will not work (that means WORK after installation) unless it is installed and operates with "administrator privileges" meaning that if a child is using it they must have "administrator privileges" on the computer. Second problem- After you finally get ITunes to run you learn that once files are downloaded onto the Ipod Nano the only way that they can be removed is through Itunes with the Ipod connected to the computer. You cannot delete them directly from the Ipod. Again instructions and support are not user friendly. They tell you to look somewhere on the screen (they are not specific) for the Ipod icon to start the delete process. What they don't tell you is that it only appears for a limited time upon the initial connection of the Ipod to the computer. If you don't find it before it disappears, you must disconnect and reconnect for it to reappear again, there is no way of just bringing it up on the screen again. And the deletion process is far from simple once you find the Ipod icon. Basically this thing is nothing more that a portable computer jukebox. The process of loading and changing songs in it shouldn't be so difficult. | |
