Michael MacLennan Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 My Ipod had problems, I filled out a form, they repaired it. No probs. I still love it, probably more than I've ever loved a proper person, and would recommend it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Found Power Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I notice that Sony have a new 20Gb player out that's practically identical to the I-Pod, but with a 30 hour battery life, as opposed to the I-Pod's 12. Could be serious competition, no?If only I could afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 if you don't mind converting everything into atrac format. You can buy a book that tells you how to replace the battery yourself, it also tells you how to install linux on your ipod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest onlynik Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Atrac is the worst codec ever, take fucking ages to copy stuff to mini disc, much better with my phone, plays mp3 and there's a hack to let it play divx films, battery life is somewhat limited though. Ipods are the walkman's of the new century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cowboy Dan Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 The mini iPod uses normal batteries, I'm going for one of those soon.My iTunes library is currently at 3.54Gb and i don't listen to half of the albums so I would never need 20Gb, that's absurd.

Cant see me ever needing 20 gig player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris#2 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 That site's peddling *old* information.I've got one of the 3rd Generation iPods (4th Gen just came out) and I only have to charge it about once a week, sometimes less... and the battery is still going strong after the best part of a year.Besides, you can replace the battery pretty easily on newer iPods. All it takes is a small flathead screwdriver to pop the back cover off (I took a look inside mine). PC Format magazine had a guide, a couple of issues back. Replacement batteries are available online for around 40.As for filling it - same problem here! I've got the 20GB model and I've yet to get to half way filled. I had it up to about 8GB, then had a nasty "accidental reformat" incident when I reinstalled iTunes... Currently I'm up to about 6GB.

Tav Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 My creative says it will last for 500charges and that it will be something like 40 for a new battery when I need one. However by the time it gets to that stage I think I will have upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 iPod's are 0% to do with music, and 100% to do with blatant consumerism (and a pre-marketing hype for the iMac "its like you iPod's big gay uncle")...fuck that shit...I just carry my laptop in my rucksack and spin the tunes on that, plus if you get bored you can always fire up unreal or photoshop....as the fat man said "bigger is better!".... That iRiver thing does look very nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 i am currently looking at the mini ipod, for what i want it looks greatsomeone else was showing me that site, and it is an old one, the origonal ipods had the problem with the batteries, which has been fixed on the newer origonal ipods (they also changed the scroll wheel if i am not mistaken) and on the mini'si am not sure how easy it would be to replace the battery yourself though, but there are definately other companies that will replace it for you for cheaper than apple (possibly 40-50, but i cant be too sure)the first thing i would do if/when i get an ipod is ditch the stupid white headphones, they do a great job of showing off to all the cool people that you have an ipod, but unfortunately also tell any would be muggers too...David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
