Which do I get? The downside I see to ipod is charging through the usb or spending more money on getting an adaptor at least with some mp3s I can chuck a battery in it when I go on holiday ???
I am tempted by the 160gb classic because 40,000 songs is a challange :) or do I go for something like a sony which costs pretty much the same but has only 8gb :(
Well Missy, technically I'm no genius but I would lean slightly toward mp3.
The reason for this answer is as a result not of advantages of mp3's, but disadvantages of the I-pod.
The I-pod is becoming pretty notorious with problems in relation to the screen They seem to damage incredibly easily and are expensive to replace if not insured. Furthermore if they do need to be replaced it may be time consuming.
Another factor is the software for The I pod. To the best of my knowledge once you install your software onto one computer you can only use your I-pod on that PC...
Finally, the price differential between add-ons for mp3s and I pods is vast. Mp3 stuff is far cheaper.
I agree. I'd go for any other brand purely for the flexibility...plus itunes does my fucking nut in :beat:
I've had 2 ipods... one 20 and a 30 and I have to say its a pretty great thing to have I don't use itunes to download music I use torrents and no you can connect an ipod to any computer with itunes and take any songs as long as they aren't purchased off of itunes... it plays mp3s and aacs which is great and you'll get a crapload of memory for a reasonable price the downside I have is video takes a while to convert video but you can download free programs to speed it up and tweak quality :)
I Pods are SHIT the end!! HATE MINE (Pain in the ass)
Get a Creative Mp3 player ;)
Get an I-Phone. ;)
I don't know anything about these. For some reason I've lagged behind as far as this goes and still just have CD's.
But can you only put I-tunes on an Ipod? Heard that from someone else. Doesn't sound good considering the whole you have to pay for it part of I-tunes.
I still carry a huge ghetto blaster on my shoulder. ;D

itunes is only needed to transfer songs to the ipod so if your gonna buy songs online you can buy unprotected mp3s and play them on an ipod as well there are other players as well it just depends on what you want I've never had any problems with my ipods so I stick by apple... to each their own
I have everything stored on i tunes and the only ipod i have is an ipod shuffle. F****** tiny...i only listen to it when training or running and it really is the best for this type of activity. It hold 240 tracks which is more than enough.
I guess it all depends on what you want it for. If you are going to train with it dont get one of those clunky hard drive models. Get a shuffle or something with flash memory.
Then again i only ever use mine for training
I use them heavily. Running in the morning, when work gets frustrating, at training, at the gym, walking to work....I managed to bust the I-pod i got first within a month. Now I have a Sony AW-800 I think it is. Brilliant!
this is too much :) I'll probably get two, a holiday model and a more static thingy for class. Thanks for your help even if I'm still confused. :-\
von, keeping it ghetto ;D
just so you know, I've ordered a creative zen 16gb.
Good Choice.
cool not enough memory for me tho :(
i bought my wife an 8gig creative zen for her bday... a very nice little gadget.
My thing's what 4gigs, but If I use this compression tool I got i can store three times the amount of music...nice :)
donny, do tell :)
As I've said I've got a Sony mp4. When I got it I said to the guy that I'd need a bit of memory because I store some fights on the Mp4. He said the 4gig is perfectly adequate as the Sony's are now compatable with this "Sonicfree" form of compression. I said great, and bought up. I didn't realise that this compression tool allows me to store so much. I've got a truck load of songs and the Morales Barrera trilogy on my mp4 now and it's not full!
there's a number of different freeware tools to compress movies or music so they fit onto a smaller player... since the screen is smaller than your computer I'll can give ya some links when I get home
thanks all cc's

If it does then all you have to do is this.
1. Find the URL of the Video you want
2. Go here http://keepvid.com/ and insert the URL there at the top then in the drop down menu click on YouTube. Then click on 'Donwload'
3. A link will appear below that you have to 'Right Click' then go to 'Save Target As...' (Make sure you know where you are saving the video to)
4. Go here http://www.download.com/3000-13631_4-10790190.html and download this program and install it.
Missy it's really easy to do it might look like a lot cause I wanted to be detailed but once done between the convertion of the URL & the convertion on the program it will take about 5 to 7 minutes to be able to save ANY YouTube video you like. If your interested let me know and I can guide you once you've downloaded the program in step 4. :)
I do this ALL THE TIME, with fights so I know what I'm talking about here.
dang mick rocks haha if you use firefox there's an add on you can use that will download any video playin inside the browser
Well then you rock cause that's easier... :DQuote:
