sliced bread has nothing on this invention
i purchased the 60gb ipod video and i have to say im in love. i can pretty much down load anything on this thing not to mention it has more memory than my desktop. The video on this device looks superb and i can organize my music tracks with no problem. Apple Video Ipod 60 GB Not a good compatibility with most of the song formats. When i try to transfer songs to this IPOD, it tries to convert them to itunes, which does not work for 50 % of the songs. I should have rather bought an mp3 player / flash drive. I bought a fad My impression of the iPod after all these months is I feel ripped off. The only good thing about the ipod that's not available from much cheaper and simpler Mp3 players is the memory size. The iTunes software is like paying to be spammed. You have to learn magic if you want to use music from another source other than iTunes or direct from the CD. "Video" has to be bought from iTunes. Some quicktime clips below a certain size can be loaded on but others can't and there is no telling which ones can and can't until you just try. I have a 1 gb player of some generic Chinese manufacture. I plug it in and it shows on "my Computer" as another drive. I copy and paste the music I want on it and poof! I am ready to go. Loading the iPod the first time is an hour long ordeal using the UI of iTunes is for "Mac" people ( you know who you are) and it is maddening. Last thing to address in my rant is the fragile nature of hard drives. A hard drive has moving parts and they don't do well with shock. A drop of 31 inchs to concrete will kill your iPod forever. Just one is all it takes. a good rap and your $260.00 is gone. Treat your ipod like a raw egg and it will last. Take some advice though, buy a flash memory based Mp3 player. Sure you can't load 60 million songs on it but you will be happier and more trouble free with ease of use plus less drop stress. Apple 60GB iPOD One word to describe it - Awesome. I would go with the 80GB which was not available when I bought my 60GB. Headphones are not the best quality and break easy. You might want to upgrade. Form over function Me as many others, bought the ipod because of it looks and the catchet of the brand. Apart from that there are many others players that cost less and have more functionalities. | |
