I did a controlled test on my 1 year old 3G iPod (40GB) and it performed exactly as Apple says it should.

Ahoy, I'm getting a new PC for christmas, so would I be right in thinking that if I install my pod on it, I'll loose all the songs? I've heard of copy pod though, where you can put all your songs on your ipod onto the PC's hard drive. Has anyone used this before? The only reason I ask is, because I can see myself throwing my ipod in the bin when I foolishly set it up wrong and I loose all my songs! If you've used it if you could give me some instructions that would be great, do you have to have Itunes installed for it to work etc!?!

Quick question. I have used Ipod since Feb this year, almost every day, chargiing it up on average 3 times a week. The battery seems to last exactly the same as it did when I first got it. Were those scare stories about the battery running out after X amount of time true? Anyone had for for longer who has used it continuously?

cheers

A week or two before my warranty was up, my hard drive stopped working. Luckily, Apple replaced my iPod with a new one...

My missus wasn't so lucky, however. Her battery has started losing it's charge now (the warranty expired 2 months ago). And she's used hers far less than I've used mine.

iTunes is cack :/

All it ever did for me was duplicate every single entry on my iPod. I use Ephpod, that lets copy music from your iPod to your PC, drag n drop songs, etc. It's a piece of piss to use and it's never done my iPod over.

Unlike iTunes

Any 1st or 2nd gen iPod owners thinking about getting one of these?

20 hour battery life; I think I'm gonna cum.

You donut!
Set iTunes from Auto sync to Manual. Then you can choose exactly what you want on your pod

[NeilMcRae]

I did, much better now!

Irrespective of the limits Sony put on themselves by refusing to support MP3, or whatever, the player is sweet! And the sounds quality is good, and it is tiny. And looks totally MINT!

The new NW3 supports MP3 out of the box so you don't have to recode!
Its the nuts!

Does anyone here have any idea when the Altec Lansing inMotion iM3 portable speaker system will be released in the UK?

I have seen its predecessor in the UK, but this new one has remote control, so is much more appealing for a lazy person like me!

How long should it take to format a mini iPod, its going on 3 hours now.

Using firewire and just installing the software for the first time.

got some spare cash decided i want an Ipod mini ive checked out a few places cheapest i can find is 156 any1 got any cheaper ???? or would some1 recomend the normal sized i-pod with more memory ???

[Adam Stone]

Oh my god, i got one of these for Christmas and... well.. it?s such an incredibly sexy, easy to use, handy little beast that has took me by surprise and then some.

It?s perfect for everything I need it for. Its small enough to fit in my coat pocket whilst walking in town, or to hold when i go for a run or keep in my trouser pocket when I workout at the gym...

Absolutely love it to pieces. I have around 200 odd tunes on there at the moment and have barely touched my storage! ^_^

[Billerance]

so u recomend the mini ??? and do u have any cheaper places than others etc ???

[Adam Stone]

Oh, sorry for the confusion buddy.

The ipod I have is the standard ipod ? not the mini im afraid.

I?m not sure of the prices myself, mine was a gift and I haven?t looked into the prices ^_^

[Billerance]

would u say 4mg is big enough

[Magnakai]

It's 4Gig, not 4 Meg!


And personally, I wouldn't be able to manage with less than the 20gig, but then again I have 500+ albums, and get more all the time. If you're the sort of person with only a few albums then you'll be fine with the mini. Then again, IMO it's just a fashion accessory for those people. Or something. Not that the full size one isn't a fashion accessory, it's just got more intrinsic usefulness.

Umm.
Basically, the price difference is small enough and the size difference small enough to warrant saving up the extra money to get the bigger one.
I think.

[Billerance]

lol dunno why i said mg but yeh i not got as many albums as you but im getting more all the time so maybe the larger 1 is the better option cheer's for the advise, + i got the cash to spend but i wasnt sure wat would be the recomended 1 ty.
