  • Apple iPod - For Mac Only :-(

    Jan 18 '02
    Pros: Capacity, battery life, it is cool
    Cons: No PC software, price, could use better encoding software, non-removable battery

    Summary: Have you seen the commercials for iPod on TV? The Apple iPod is definitely no cheap at $395, but it is head and shoulders above your average MP3 player. The Capacity King First of all, it uses a hard drive with ... read more

  • Of my 4mp3 player this is my favorite

    May 06 '05
    Pros: Interface, Build Quality, Reliability, Storage Space, Button Placement, Display, Good Sound Quality
    Cons: None really, scroll wheel sometimes too sensitive, can't transfer back music

    Summary: I have the original 5gb Ipod and I couldn't be happier. Despite the fact that it is a first gen, the battery still has most of its charge. I've been through 3 other mp3 players and of those I'd only recommend one of them. I absolutely love my ipod, ... read more

    Pros: I dismissed the iPod as something that wasn't necessary.
    Cons: I dismissed the iPod as something that wasn't necessary.

    Summary: As someone who obviously doesn't adapt well to new technology, I dismissed the iPod as something that wasn't necessary. I have CD's. I have MP3's. I have a CD player. I have a computer. I have one MP3 player. I have one minidisc player. And until just ... read more

  • The best - no bones about it

    Mar 20 '04
    Pros: DICE - deep, intuitive, complete, and elegant
    Cons: Can't go back to other players after this experience.

    Summary: I have carried my iPod around for over a year now. Newer models have arrived on the scene and tempted me to part with my money. I have put more of my CDs onto my hard drive as I have upgraded my computer, and I have gone through several sets of ... read more

    Cons: cant delete songs directly off the ipod; must do it on I-Tunes first,sleep mode

  • The iPod is a sleek and sexy more than a music player.

    Mar 19 '03
    Pros: convenient size, sleek design, can hold 1000 songs, portable

  • The iPod: After a Year (some things users need to know)

    Feb 20 '03
    Pros: Sound quality, options terrific. Completely portable and amazingly compatible with iTunes.
    Cons: Battery is puzzling, system occasionally crashes. Earphones cheap considering cost.

    Summary: I purchased an Apple iPod last spring and up until recently, I have been completely satisfied with the results. The battery, music, and compatibility (with Mac) were phenomenal. Connecting the iPod to the Mac via firewire is quite simple, and ... read more

    Pros: Storage capacity, Ease of use
    Cons: Poor customer service, remote doesn't work, shuffle function does not work

    Summary: I recently received an Ipod as a Christmas gift, and my initial excitement with my new toy has quickly faded. The remote [which was purchased separately] only works if it is being held firmly in place WHILE you are using it. Kind of defeats ... read more

    Jan 22 '03
    Pros: High quality sound, stylish design, holds lots of songs/playlists.
    Cons: Pretty heavy, easily damaged, lack of custom EQ, battery lifespan

    Summary: First of all, my iPod is a second hand set, which explains why I managed to get it at such a low price. Also, my iPod was originally a mac one, converted to a win ipod. Contrary to the popular belief of the mac version not usable on windows, mine worked ... read more
