My 40GB 3rd Gen iPod is no more. Any word out on where is cheapest to get a 60GB iPod? ?350 looks to be the average price for one.

Well when my ipod is attached u can browse the contents through explorer, as if it were a hard drive.
Well apart from the system folders there are a number of numbered folders that contain songs from artist that have no relation to each other...

Like "pod_control\music\F00 F01 F02 F03 and so on. Well all these folders appear to be full of random songs, dunno why.

Bought one off eBay. I'm so bad with money.

Still no luck on the shuffle front..

Anyone feel like having a look for me in the Apple store?

[darkangel]

Dude just go and order from their online store, it cost me ?100 for a 1GB one

Good luck

Takes 3-4 weeks to be dispatched though..

I thought you had it all sorted...? I said I could drop into the Apple store last Thurs.

I'll prolly be passing again later in the week, I'll give you a shout if I am...

I'm considering getting a Ipod (20 GB model), but because of the high prices in Britain I'm considering buying one from america and getting it shipped over here, unless Apple have some how stopped that...anyway, because its from America would I need to buy a spechial adapter or something of the sort?

[AllYourBase]

if you got a US model you would just need to use a UK power cable (you know the small figure of eight type) to plug in place of the US two pronged adaptor

problem solved!

[El Leone]

Intresting, but apparantly Ipods are very prone to breakage? and I can't get warranty if I import? Is there a website I can buy one from britain which is cheaper than retail or something?

Do you guys reckon i should just import and save some cash or look for another place in britain to buy one?

[weightgain]

Prone to breakage ?? I've had one factory rest in 18 mths......no other prob....

My original 15GB 3rd Gen iPod I had lasted two years before I sold it and got a 40GB one when it had not long been out. I got a refurbished 40GB one from the US for just a fraction more than what I sold my 15GB for. I bought it in August and the battery seems to now have a mind of its own. So thats 7 months of continuous use from a refurb.

I've just been spending today backing up all my music from my iPod to my external HD so when my 60GB 4th Gen Photo beast arrives I can just put all the music off the HD on to the new iPod. Absolute Win.

Anyone popping by the regent street store at all?

[Ang?l21]

I was in the regent store last friday to get some speakers for my pc and they had quite a few shuffles out on show and available to buy - try giving them a ring to see if they have any in stock at the minute but I expect they will (no other shops in London do yet though)

[Pavey]

Can do tonight. Want me to get one?
