Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Hi , I love my iPod and take it everywhere. I'm not sure how I lived without one! I even got an FM transmitter so I could listen to it in my car instead of fumbling around with CDs. Mine was one of the red and black U2 limited editions. I don't think those are available anymore. The new iPods have color video screens so you can watch TV shows on them. Video would be fabulous for killing time on a treadmill but you'd break your neck outdoors. :-) For exercise, a lot of people like the Shuffle or the Nano. The Shuffle is the size of a stick of gum and holds 100-200 songs depending on the capacity. Those are only like $99 and you can easily wear them on an armband or hang them around your neck. The Nano is a step up. It has a color screen and holds 500-1000 songs, plus playlists as opposed to just a random shuffle of songs. I like the real ones though, the ones that play television and music videos and hold 15,000 songs. :-) I haven't even had my limited edition one for a year though, so I'm trying to hold out until I break it or drop it in the dog's water bucket or something. Then I'm definitely getting a black video iPod. They're $299-$399 depending on the capacity. I like to go to the website and drool over them. :-) http://www.apple.com/ipod/ On 12/24/05, Brown <simbajoy@...> wrote: > Do you use an ipod? If so, which one.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I don't know how I lived without mine either. I'm the poster child for deafness from listening to it so much. Standing in lines, going grocery shopping is a totally different experience. Anything mundane is all of a sudden tolerable with the tunes. All my family members have one. Get as much storage as you can afford because you never know how much music you can accumulate. Stasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Hi, I have the 20GB iPod (5th generation, but now considered old school). I love it. I have my playlists timed perfectly. It is awesome. I personally don't need the video iPod, but they look cool. ______________________________________________________________________ Call Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere in the World - FREE!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Also, I concur with getting as much storage as possible. I'm almost full with my 20GB. ______________________________________________________________________ Call Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere in the World - FREE!

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I love iTunes and it's really all I use for downloading music and TV shows. I also have a Rhapsody unlimited membership. I like it because I can stream whole songs instead of just :30 clips. If I like something enough to want it then I go download it from iTunes. I usually have both of them open at the same time. http://www.apple.com/itunes/ http://www.listen.com/content.jsp There are still a lot of free (illegal) download programs but I haven't used them in quite awhile. I got tired of slow and partial downloads, clumsy search results, bad recordings, spyware/adware, and not finding what I wanted. If you have a second computer with a good firewall and virus protection, that's still an option though. Somebody else might be able to tell you the better sites for free file sharing. Some are clean, easy to use and fairly safe (if you only download MP3s) and some will attempt to install a bunch of unwanted gunk on your hard drive.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Some of the older, really obscure stuff I can't find on Itunes. I haven't done the Napster thing in a long time either, but it sure was good for those B side obscure tunes on albums that are no longer in production.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Diane asked: , what were the music websites you recommended again? I think I'm getting a nano for Christmas You can burn your CDs that you own and love onto your computer iTunes program, and then download them to the iPod. Then they're FREE, and you can add (pay for) the new and specific tunes you don't already own. I actually prefer to buy a new CD and then burn it onto iTunes and then the iPod, so for the same price I also own the CD. Then only if I want an INDIVIDUAL tune would I buy it for $.99 online. I love the iPod mini and drool over the Nano; I like the smaller size and weight for carrying around. All: What armbands do you like for the iPod mini? Do you like the bigger black ones because they keep it still? I just ordered one like apple's but not apple's: Belkin Sports Sleeve for iPod Mini, but I worry that the iPod will skip. I like the bigger bands that they have a pocket for the earphones. But I got a smaller one. I read the bigger black ones MacAlley etc are too wide for a women's arm - Etana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Thanks so much for the thorough answer . I've been tracking them on ebay and have placed bids several times, but no wins--YET!! I'm determined to have the shuffle and if I like it, I MAY upgrade. They would really come in handy in SOOO many ways. I've been in the dark! - " We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. " Aristotle Re: Ipod?
