Apple iPod (20 GB, PC - M8741LL/A) MP3 Player

Pros: design, ease of use, hard drive size
Cons: price, easily scratched

i have always argued against apple products. they are secretive about specifications and this limits ...

Pros: Hello!!! Could there be a better product. No I don't think so.
Cons: Some distortion at loudest volume level, but who wants to go deaf anyway?

I love my IPOD. Getting music on and off it os a cinch. The bundled musicmatch rocks. I have never had a single problem with the unit. The sound quality is spectacular. Its not so unusual anymore, but people still stare at it. Coolest hippest design out...

Pros: Great sound quality, great capacity, good battery life, easy interface
Cons: Remote isn't useful

I waited until this unit became available for the PC. It's capacity (using 160 rip setting) is sufficient to hold over 275 CDs. The sound quality is excellent and the sound effects are functional. The earbuds are good quality and the unit performs as...

Pros: Size & weight
Cons: HORRIBLE touchpad. TOO bright white face and TOO shiny silver back panel.

It's incredibly small and light for an MP3 player with a hard drive. Kudos to the engineers.

BUT... the wheel is gone and it's replaced with a touchpad wheel- BIG mistake. There's no volume control on the unit, you're forced to use the...

Pros: Fantastic hardware design, Excellent accessories and add-ons, Best storage.
Cons: Software integration is awful (Musicmatch) for PC users, delicate little toy.

Easily the most user-friendly MP3 player on the market for PC users, the iPod for PC is one sweet to ...

Pros: Tremendous storage, easy sort and look-up, fabulous sound
Cons: None

I love this little device. I have my whole CD library, as well as hundreds of downloaded songs stored on my new toy. Why buy CDs again? Works amazingly well hooked up to my car stereo (through tape deck) and sounds even better on the home stereo...

Pros: Looks Nice
Cons: Setup - Good Luck! Huge wait time for HP support.

Spent about 3 straight hours trying to configure the iPod with my computer. The software loaded all right, but the computer simply would not recognize the iPod hardware. Kept getting a "reconfiguration necessary" message for the device. Went through this procedure several times to no avail.
After waiting "On Hold" connected to the HP support line for 67 minutes, I noticed that the iPod screen had gone from flashing a "Don't Disconnect" icon to one showing low power. Removed and put it on the charger to then discover that the screen had gone completely blank. Tried several times to get something back on the screen - no luck.
Took the unit back to Radio Shack and they are ordering me a new one. Hopefully, the new one will work - but after the hassle with this one, I'm certainly not going to hold my breath. Will update my opinion after the new one arrives. If similar woes occur, will take a refund and run like hell.

Pros: looks good, great sound, stylish, everything
Cons: not even if i wanted there to be one.

The iPod was just another of Apples great ideas. The iPod is the worlds best mp3 player. I mean where else can you get 4000+ songs in your pocket, and it doesn't even weigh you down! If you are looking for a mp3 player then you must buy the iPod!

This is a great product. Its a little pricy, but works to your advantage. For People who dont want just the ordinary MP3 player, this one would get the job done, but only if you dont mind empty pockets

Pros: People like it
Cons: Battery life. One source for music: apple.

After 8 months the batteries died. Apple charged me $50 for new batteries plus $32 shipping. Think long and hard before buying one.

Yes, it is expensive but it is a technological marvel. Well thought out and designed. Leaves all other MP3 players I've owned and tested (with or without HD)in the dust. I put hundreds of albums on mine plus over 50 hours of lectures and still have tons of storage space remaining. Songs indexed by Playlist, Title, Genre, Author, etc. It is a snap to find the album or song you want. Try one. You will be AMAZED!

I just doesn't get any better than this. If you seriously want a player, this is it. This baby can hold the equivalent of a 500-CD library. Whoah. Apple has truly shown that the best doesn't always come last. In fact, the best really came first.

this is is amazing, its like my god, hah, but seriously, its so small so easy to use, and so damn pretty haha, everybody is amazed at the scroll wheel, i even got it for $414 ith shipping from Dell.com at a christmas sale, . . . the only down side is the musicmatch software that comes with it, it sucks, so get a program called ephpod (applies only to PC iPod users) that works like a charm
