Of my 4mp3 player this is my favorite

by jsnowbordr47 , 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
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, ...

Test

by rudy_stewart , Nov 17 '04
Pros: I dismissed the iPod as something that wasn't necessary.
Cons: I dismissed the iPod as something that wasn't necessary.
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 ...

iPod forever

by pierre007 , Apr 04 '04
Pros: Great new functionalities with OSX Address Book and iCal; easy to use when traveling

The best - no bones about it

by trich63 , Mar 20 '04
Pros: DICE - deep, intuitive, complete, and elegant
Cons: Can't go back to other players after this experience.
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 ...

Pros: Light, Holds lots of music,No more CDs to carry around.
Cons: No Belt clip, earphones just don't feel right.
What can I say about the Apple iPod? This thing has gotten me through many a day of boredom. Being a college student I have a lot of free time on my hands and trust me the iPod gets me through the waiting periods. And with the amount of songs it can hold, ...

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

by lizzzy44 , Mar 19 '03
Pros: convenient size, sleek design, can hold 1000 songs, portable
Cons: earphones have bad sound quality and can be uncomfortable
Sleek, silver, and sexy this more-than-a-music-player of an iPod is the answer to your portable music want or need. I received my precious as a birthday gift from family, and it has not left my purse or pocket since. Its small size (think Altoids tin...

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

by mrmorgan , 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.
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...

Slightly disappointed

by brandalina , Jan 30 '03
Pros: Storage capacity, Ease of use
Cons: Poor customer service, remote doesn't work, shuffle function does not work
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...

The stylish iPod

by fantasysquare , 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
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...
