Da Brakes Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm thinking of getting a 30GB iPod but just wondering what the userability is like? More so in using iTunes to put music onto it. At the moment I have a Sony Walkman and the software for it is absolutely terrible! I've used the iPod and it seems pretty easy to navigate but was just wondering how easy it is to use iTunes with it? The reason I'm asking is that one of my friends said it was absolutely terrible, but I'm not too sure if I trust her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted October 4, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 its very easy u can sync it with ur itunes to automatically update when you connect..or you can do it manually and just drop songs on 2 ur ipod.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I knew she didn't know what she was talking about! She told me that in order to put new songs on you had to take all your songs off your ipod and then put them back on including the new ones!!

You can sync your iPod to iTunes and your iPod will be updated automatically or you can manually add songs and playlists, movies, music videos, etc...

sonic1988 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 yeah, the i-pod is cool. My only complaint is that you have to ahve it plugged into the comp to recharge it, and the wall connector is about 35 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ben Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I got the 60GB video one and i love it. Its basically replaced my radio in my truck. I use Itunes and find it really easy to use, though i believe you can use windows media or realplayer to do it too. It all depends on how you set it up, you can either have it so you can update it manually and put the songs on your self or you can update it automatically. I prefer to do it manually so i can have full control over though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint is that you have to ahve it plugged into the comp to recharge it, and the wall connector is about 35 bucks. yeah my only problem with the I-Pod is that is designed to take your money with the accessories. if you really wanted to, you could find a 5 volt adapter (a lot of discman wall adapters are around 5 volts) and then connect the the I-Pod plug to the adapter wire and make one for cheaper. of course you'd need to find the plug that goes into the I-Pod, but it would probably be less than 30 bucks.

TragicallyInept Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Just to clarify though, if you have songs on your Itunes and you're connecting it to a computer that you did not put the music onto with, and you sync it up with THAT Itunes, it'll erase everything on your Ipod and replace it with whatever is in the Itunes on THAT computer. You can't have more than one Itunes synced with your Ipod. At least I don't THINK you can. Rather you can't have Itunes on two separate computers synced with the same Ipod.

MaxFly Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 This reminds me of a discussion we had late last year in which people said that portable video player technology and players in general are gratuitous, expensive and unreasonable... Seems like the people at Apple, Creative, Archos, and RCA knew better. Just look at all the hype the iPod by itself has created concerning portable music and video... And in just one year. I think I called this one... It's funny reading some of the arguments from back then. http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/...%20Player&st=20 yeah, the i-pod is cool.

Actually, I think it's the other way around; companies want to capitalize on the success of the iPod, and that's where a lot of these accessories come from. If the iPod weren't as successful as it is now, the iPod would still be around as is, but the accessories wouldn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
