mazmac24 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Is it really worth selling my 60gb ipod video for an 80gb? i originally paid $340 for the 60gb. Thanks PS You should know that "G" next to the number doesn't mean gigabytes but generation, right??? Quote
moonlit Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Not really, 60GB is easily enough for plenty of music and still a crapload of room left... Quote
lightman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I hate Ipods, and what they represent. All those idiots showing it like they are wearing some new fashion clothing, s#ckers. besides, it has no enough power, I used it once (from a friend) in a bus and I heard more the bus noise than the music itself. After all I tryied, the only thing that convinced me, it's the sony minidisc Hi-MD, the only one with enough quality and enough audio power (after a few software fixes :lol ). still the sonicstage software sucks too, but, you can't have it all, can you?. oh btw, forget to mention that it costs 1/3 of an average IPOD. seeya light Quote
OtterFox Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Ipod=apple=DRM! I just laugh when I see all those suckers buying Ipods when they can get better for less. Quote
linux4eva Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I like my Nano (cause I won it so it's technically free) but I still can't get ipodlinux on it working. I wish they would update their installers. Quote
moonlit Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Aye aye I have a cheapo no-name MP3 player and it works great ^_^ Quote
Atari6502 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I like my Nano too. At the time it was the biggest (4GB)solid state player at the time. DRM is no problem because I don't buy crap from Itunes. Just rip my own cd's. I'd still rather own a physical cd. I still miss vinyl. :cry: Quote

I wish they would update their installers. How did you get it for free? There was a quick 2 minute survey for my college and the prize was a nano. Needless to say, I was very surprised... but happy. ;) Quote
mcvoid Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I like the itunes program, but I never use the store - I just rip my own CD's since I mainly listen to music that I think is worth dishing out money for. As for what type of iPod, I only use one when I'm running (I hate running, but I have to, so it's better than a CD player that skips all the time) so I only ever really needed a memory stick w/ a headphone jack and enough memory to last me about a half hour - so I got the Shuffle. As for DRM, I don't care. I like my cd's - they sound better than MP3. Quote
Guest ABC Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 i dont even own an ipod, i have a creative zen touch (20GB) ... i must update it soon to the vision:M *droll* Quote
mazmac24 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 I mainly want the 80gig 1) because i can 2) it makes me feel beter that i have more room than most ppl and 3) i use it as an external hdd. Quote
gbjazzman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I've got a 4gig iPod Mini. I got it for one specific reason: the aluminum shell. I have a tendency to break personal electronics, such as PDAs and CD players. It works well, it's got decent battery life and I only use iTunes for synching the iPod (and podcasts, but that's because I'm lazy) Quote
take it take Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I have a nano and I use it for audio. There's really no need to play DOOM or load up Linux on it. Quote
stitch Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 ive got a 20gig 4th gen. it was free* so it gets cool points for that. It also came with an itrip (FM broadcaster) so i can play my music on any radio. it also gets a lot of use as portable storage for large files,. * my mom's husband bought a new truck and they included the ipod+itrip with it, and he didnt know wtf to do with it, so i took it off his hands.
