Looking in to buying one with at least 30 gigs. i feel that the ipod is a bit expensive, and i was looking at the nomad jukebox xtra, but that may be a little big. Are there any other options, or should i just wait until the next generation? any advice on this would be great. Thanks

 

the i pod may be expensive but its the best

 

Nope the best is the iRiver iHP-120, SO MANY more features than the iPod, its only available in 20 GB right now

 

I hear that once the ipods battery goes out (which only takes about 1 1/2 years) that it doesn't work. You can replace the battery by sending it back but this would cost you the same amount as buying another new one.

 

Maybe the iRiver may be better since it's newer unit with all the fancy options....(it's bigger then an iPod as well) but when it comes to 'navigating' through thousands of artists and songs, I'll still take the iPod.

The iRiver's scroll function is a slower and more tedious thing to go through to find a song IMO.

 

Here's where I ran across this ipod theory...

Old news my friend. You can change the battery on your own by buying a replacement for $50 or Apple will change it for you now for $99.00

I'll tell you one thing......I would not have bought an iPod without the extended 2 year replacement warranty......and it's not because an iPod is a POS, it's because it's a HD based player and common sense would tell me that it could fail at any time considering it gets banged around a bit because one carries it around all the time.

 

 

does ipod sync well with pc? i heard that there are still problems with the ipod and pc's. The other thing is that is it true that once uploading music to your ipod, you can't move the music back to your computer?

 

my buddy has one and he loves it. hasnt had a problem syncing it to his pc

 

i just bought an ipod today...been waiting all christmas!... My dad ordered it for me but it didnt come in time for christmas..also if your thinking about one..they have a limited time offer of personalized laser engraving untl dec 27th...just my .02
