+1 best thing out there right now, we have the 20 gb and my wife has 2,780 songs on it and we still have room for up to 5,000 (depending on the lenght of the songs)!

And you paid how much more additional @ $.99 for these songs?? It sounds a lot like owning a horse...the cheapest part is buying the horse!

I have heard the 4 gig NANOs have issues. Just too much for the flash. I went two gig nano and have been very happy. Wish the interface slot had a waterproof plug, though.

I have a 4gig Mini. I've never had a problem and I use it every day. So, that might have something to do with the Nano, not the flash size.

My iPod is full of songs that I ripped from my own CDs. No one says you HAVE to purchase songs from iTunes. It handles regular old .mp3s just fine.

I have the 1 gig Shuffle. This is the IPOD without a screen. I only use it for work and jogging. Work is riding a mower or running my Caterpillar. Jogging is 2 miles every day. I've had it since September of '05 and it works like a champ. Holds a bunch of songs. Sounds good. Durable, I've dropped it several times. It gets sweaty and wet with rain/drizzle. I think NOT having the screen is great for what I use it for.

The only thing I don't like about it is not being able to rewind or fast forward within a song. You can skip forwards and backwards entire songs though.

I'll probably end up with a NANO 4 gig.

My 1 gig Shuffle holds more music than I can listen to in a day. I don't see any need to carry around more than you can listen to in a solid week. Storage is nice but I'm not buying it to be a mass storage device, I'm buying an IPOD to be a "walkman".

I have heard the 4 gig NANOs have issues. Just too much for the flash. I went two gig nano and have been very happy. Wish the interface slot had a waterproof plug, though.

I'm not aware of any issues with X GBs being too big for Flash. Probably a techie wive's tale. There is some speculation laptops will some day have flashbased hard drives, but current Flash drives have a limited number of times they can be written.

When I went to buy the Nano, I asked the salesman (best buy, btw) which I should get. He told me people had been returning the 4 gig nanos for lock ups whereas he hadn't had any 2 gigs returned.
Hardly scientific, but it worked for me. YMMV

That makes sense. I held off on the nano because of the "scratching" rumors. (This turned out to be not a big deal.) I opted for the 30g video ipod, which has worked well for me. Slim enough for your pocket, but huge capacity. (Don't have much use for video, but it is cool on the subway.) For the poster, I expect the Best Buy guy's experience doesn't reflect all the nanos being sold, but it's worth noting nonetheless. I'm also addicted to Mac forums and RSS feeds, and I just haven't heard anything. Not saying it couldn't be a possibility. Out of curiousity, I'll ask a few Apple retail folks that I know will give me the straight story on what their experience has been with nano returns.

if you want tunes for less than Itunes.com charges, try allofmp3.com

Entire albums for a buck or so .... works well, depending on the type of music you like

I have the 1 gig shuffle...

I have it full of over 240 songs and just play it on shuffle in the car with a cassette adapter. I love this thing. A display would be nice and I am thinking about getting the 2 gig nano at the new price, but I am not in any hurry. The shuffle is so light you don't even know you have it on around your neck.

At the new price, I think they are a steal.

I know that if you turn the volume up too loud, and hurt your ears, or they ring or something, you can file like a class action suit, and like sue apple for making a defective product and get RICHZORZ !

We have two iPod's. I wired my truck for it and bought an extra cradle for it for my home theater. Both are 20 gig models. Love'em. I can take my music that I'm listening to at home, jump in the truck listening to the same stuff, then walk to class listening to the same stuff... then repeat but backwards on the way home.

So you can store 5000 songs? 1 gig being 250.

AB

You COULD, but it depends on the length of the songs, it depends if you have music video's on it, pictures, etc..

Well I said iPod... so it doesn't play videos, etc. Only music. You can however store more than music on it, but it will only play music.

Albob: I currently have 4800 something songs on my ipod.

-d

So how much time is involved in downloading 4800 songs?

AB

I have quite a large Mp3 collection before I bought my iPod. Some songs are rips from my own cd's, friends cd's, limewire downloads, torrent downloads and just general downloads. I didn't put all my mp3's on my iPod either... some stuff I just left on the hard drive.

I've decided... I'm gonna get an Ipod Nano. I'll probably wait a couple weeks for my big paycheck, and then order a 4GB unit. Should work great for what I want to use it for.

My 60gb iPod is full. I ripped all my CDs at 320k and put everything I own on it. According to iTunes, I can play it for 35 days straight without repeating a single thing. I'll sell it as soon as they come out with a 100gb version.

It's great for those long cross country trips when you can't get a radio station and don't want to flip through the same 5 CDs repeatedly. I like putting audio books on there and playing through the car stereo - makes 5 hours go by pretty quickly.

ETA: I was going to buy some songs on the iTunes website, but they are only 128k AAC, and I really don't like anything less than 192k. The higher quality takes up more space, but it took me days to rip all my music and I really don't want to do it again, so I went with the best quality up front.

Posted: 2/10/2006 12:01:30 PM EDT

When you guys put audio books on the ipods, are you just ripping them from cd's or is there a downloadable source for those now as well?

ETA: Not an intentional effort at a hijack, there is just some really good info here and I am looking to get an ipod as well. Sorry if I stepped on your toes VG.

Somehow, I'm not getting it. OK, you save all of your music to this thing. With the CD changer in my car, I loaded up on extra cartridges but found that I only used one cartridge because I got bored with the old music on the others. What's the attraction if you buy CD's to rip or buy music? So you can have 100 songs??? You tend to have a narrow selection of fav's at any given time anyway. Is it just in knowing that you can if you want to? Even if you realistically won't listen to them anyway?? BTW, I understand that the music quality isn't really as good as the original.

You can play your songs at random. If I'm out on my bike, it picks one of my 3,000 or so songs at random. You can also arrange playlists of songs fitting certain activities. Even with the smaller capacity iPods, you can set the device to rotate the music automatically rather shuffling through CDs.

Tax Monster, I hear what you're saying about quality. I wouldn't pay to download any tracks at less than 256kbps. I was ripping some of my CDs in 320kbps, but decided 256kbps was fine for my ears. I can tell a difference between 128 and 256, but not really between 256 and 320...

I had one, the 20 gig model, got it free from a vendor, moved over a few thousand songs to it. Tried it out in my car (hard wired) and the quality difference between it and cds was enough for me to not want to use it my car (cds sound better). Gave it to the wife, she likes it and I'm back to carrying around the few cds that I actually listen to these days.

I have all of my music organized into categories, so depending on my mood I pick a playlist and start playing.. if I want to listen to a certain song titel or artist, I can select it if I want it. CD changers are going to be on their way out. With a changer, you don't have an interactive list of all of the songs you have loaded in the changer... and say you have a 12 disc changer, with 15 songs on a cd... that is only 180 songs... want something different and you have to change our a cd or a cartridge.. doesn't sound like fun to me. A few flicks of the finger and I can select whatever I want to listen to without a problem.

As far as quality, I have a high end sound system in my truck.. and I really can't tell of that big of a difference between the CD's and the mp3's. Minimal at best.

I actually used my iPod during my last trip to Alaska as a digital photo storage device. Keeping in mind that I don't have a photo iPod, I bought a device that read my 4 GB microdrive, and would copy all of the images from it to my iPod... great little product.

Cavu,

You can rip them from cd's or download them from itunes or audibles.com. You can torrent books also. The problem is that unless you download them for the ipod specific format they don't hold their place when you stop and come back and that sucks

Fortunately, with the newer itunes, you can just convert your rip or non-itunes audio book to aac and then change the extension to .mp4b and it'll take on the place holding feature.

Got one better than that... But these two products...

from Belkin...

Run the RCA's to your stereo's AUX input, run the mini-plug to the side of the charger... hardwire the charger to a fused power source... then hide all of that, and only have the connector for the ipod sticking out somewhere where you can hook up your ipod. That is how I did it... clean, no cables showing except for the small connector and it sounds a hell of a lot better than any AM or FM modulator.

I picked up a 4GB Ipod Nano today, and I'm messing with it here at work. It's HELLA COOL! I copied some MP3s off of a CD to my laptop, then transferred to the Ipod. It was slow, but my laptop only has USB 1.1. The touchpad function of the buttons is nice, menu navigation is easy... and it's got lots of cool extras. I think this little unit will do what I need it to do!

... now to find some accessories... need to get a docking station thing and an extra cable or two.

As for the tape and radio adapters in cars, even head units with Line In jacks: Most will sound pretty poor compared to CDs, if you connect the audio to the headphone jack of your Ipod/MP3 player. What you want to find is something that uses the Line Out from the player, as it will be an unboosted, clean signal. Most of the time, the headphone jack output is amplified, which causes the output to the head unit or FM transmitter to clip, making it sound like shit.

With Ipod being so popular, many headunits should actually interface with the device, and actually read the song files from it, stream the data, and then play it as if it were reading a CD. Someday, I'll try to find a headunit that interfaces like that. Should sound great!

The Zen Vision: M has an FM radio and can record from it... I don't see where it says it has an FM modulator. And they offer a 30 Gig model that costs as much as the Ipod Video... so why?

Quoted:
As for the tape and radio adapters in cars, even head units with Line In jacks: Most will sound pretty poor compared to CDs, if you connect the audio to the headphone jack of your Ipod/MP3 player. What you want to find is something that uses the Line Out from the player, as it will be an unboosted, clean signal. Most of the time, the headphone jack output is amplified, which causes the output to the head unit or FM transmitter to clip, making it sound like shit.

With Ipod being so popular, many headunits should actually interface with the device, and actually read the song files from it, stream the data, and then play it as if it were reading a CD. Someday, I'll try to find a headunit that interfaces like that. Should sound great!

The Belkin adapter I showed above uses the the actual line out not the headphones. Sounds a lot better.

I call them WHYpods. Because I can't personally imagine WHY I'd want one. Because compressed audio files sound like crap to me. Because I hate Apple products.
