ipod - worth it? (2 Viewers)

[Premus]

Hey guys

right now i have a creative 64mb mp3 player( it can only hold about 15 songs).
do u think an ipod would be worth getting? and do u recommend 10Gb or 20 Gb?

any suggestions?

Thanks

i HAD a 20gb and i only used a little over 10gb... with songs i don't even like.....

where did u buy it from? and 4 how much?

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I got mine when they were brand new... 20gb from the apple store for around $700.

 

[ignition]

ouch.. clue: sell it on ebay.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

clue: it got stolen.

<-has a 40 gig and only uses over 10 gig.

I use the other 30 gig for storing/transfering digital phots at places so i can re-use the card ie can take evn more pictures at stuff!!

Just wish I had waited to get one of the new photo ipods which are actually designed for this purpose......

BTW. Dont forget you get a discount as a student (10% minimum)

I reckon. I got mine ages ago (xmas '02) and it's so good that you can store all your songs and listen to them whenever you want. I have a 10GB, I'm barely using anything and have 900 songs... I say if you have the money and will use it, go for it.

help me here

i was looking for an mp3 player, mainly the little solid state ones, around 512mb, so i could run with 'em and stuff

BUT my aunt works for apple and she can get iPods for about $220 off the rrp

so what do I do? I am tempted to get a little shitty solid state player (128mb no name korean one) and an ipod??

 

[sped_kid01]

buy the ipod...better off in the long run

 

[Not-That-Bright]

get an ipod mini, it's like 2x the size of the little one and holds like 10x the songs.

does anyone know anything about the sony one? i saw it in an ad... its about 600 for like 20gb... like more specifically the size?

This topic might do better in the IT forum ..

PremusDog: Go for the 20gb model. Always better to have the extra space if you need it, as opposed to having too little space and needing more. Tertiary Education Students can also get 10% off Ipods and their respective accessories.

Have a read of that. You're more likely to buy a new player before you need a new battery

Does the iPod have an equilizer? If so, I'mma getting one.

Sure does, you can apply the EQ in Itunes to see how it will make your music sound, too.

id buy a PDA. sure u cant store as much music on it as an ipod but you'll get alot more use out of it (calendar, msn, internet explorer etc). Purchase a 1gig SD card to go with it and you should be fine
