A must for every music collection
I bought my 60 gb iPod several months ago which was definetly money well spent. I take it with me everywhere. I have loaded over 500 CD's of every musical genre and have only filled up a quarter of the capacity. One of my main pleasures has been rediscovering CD's I bought many years ago which had long been forgotten. Having them all available at the spin of my thumb makes them instantly available. I recently took a trip to visit my sister and and brought a connection cable so we could play it through her Bose radio. It became the main entertainment through ten days of partying and relaxing. I can also play it through the car radio. I am thinking of making an iPod input a must-have feature on the next car I buy. A big advantage of the iPod is iTunes, a free software from Apple. This program makes it so easy to load and classify my music on my computer. And all I do is plug in my iPod and it immediately begins to synchronize the iPod to iTunes, copying any new music or changes I have made. And it does it all by itself without any input from me. Unless you are planning to store lots of videos and/or photos, I think a 30 gb unit would be more than adequate for most music collections. I could probably put a couple thousand more CD's on mine before it got full. The 60 G was awwson I received my ipod quickly and it works great and I havent had a problem with it Best ipod yet! Can't they fix the screen scratches? I love this ipod. I have the second generation, and this was a great improvement. The battery life problem seems to be fixed, as I have had this for 6 months and haven't had it die on me during a long trip yet. The video looks great, the audio sounds better than ever, and the click wheel is a nice feature, although I miss the touch sensitve buttons. The menus are very nice, and everything is organized very nicely. One thing I'm not sure about, there's a place in itunes to add the music lyrics, but i don't know how to locate them on the ipoid, maybe it doesn't display them? My biggest issue here, the screen scratches very easily. Please make sure to buy a protective cover, or leave on the one that comes with it, or something. I was VERY careful with it, had it in a case and everything. I took it out one day to check a couple things out, and when I looked at it later in the day, it was scratched!! Bad enough that I notice it when I'm watching video. I don't think anything even touched the screen except some paper that may have been on my desk. It was very strange... Itunes integrations is as good as ever, and it's very easy getting ripped or purchased music onto your ipod. PROS *Best sound quality of any ipod yet *Video screen looks great *Click wheel is pretty responsive *Battery life is fantastic *Factory headphones actually sound pretty good CONS *Screen is very susceptible to scratches *The entire body of the ipod will be scratched and/or smudged within a week, don't expect it to stay all nice and shiny forever. But get it in a good cover ASAP and just take care of it as if it were a nuclear bomb just waiting to explode on impact! :) All in all, this is a great player. Apple haters everyhwere will tell you it sucks and battery life is terribe and screen is too small, blah, blah, blah.... but the fact of the matter is it works. It does what it's supposed to do, which is play music VERY well, and it also plays movies, TV shows, and other video surprisingly well. tell all your friends You can buy this item for less than the Apple Store AND without sales tax!! I love the color video feature. I'm glad I waited for the upgrade. Everything I wanted and more............. It is better than I thought it would be! It carries soooooooooooooo many songs, it has games like solitaire and brick, I can display lyrics and the pictures of the albums! I listen to it wherever I go, and my life is now like a movie: I have a soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!! lol. the cases are fun , u can make them match any outfit you have. this ipod is so fun!!! the videos are great. I can't believe I can put movies on it! yay! the best present I have E V E R gotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
