Re: Official iPod Thread
I'm in the market for an IPod, any suggests from the veterans of the series as to what one I should buy (I just want it to play music), what size (value), what accessories should I get with it ??Comment

Re: Official iPod Thread
Tough call. How much music do you have to put on it? If you have a lot, your best bang for the buck is the new 80gb unit. The per mb cost is much lower than any of the others. If you don't have a lot of music and are just looking at cost (and don't care about video), I'm not sure what to tell you. I've always looked at the bigger ipods (which also have the video).
A case or skin is a defininite necessity because Ipods are famous for getting easily scratched and smudged. I got a body glove case at Walmart for only $17. It works great. There are tons of different types available. If you want to play it in your car, you either need to get an FM transmitter (I've never had much luck with them but others have), a tape adapter, or a car stereo that has either a direct Ipod hookup or an RCA type plug. For that, you need to have the Ipod to RCA adapter. I also have a logitech mm50 speaker. Got it for about $100 at Costco. It's one of the better speaker units for the price and even the newer Ipods fit in it.
Hope that helped. If you need any more info, PM me.Mario Kart Wii: 1203 9969 5095

Re: Official iPod Thread
Well, I lost my Dell DJ last week and I gave up looking for it - I have no clue where it went. I found out that Dell no longer makes this which pisses me off cause of all the accessories I have.
Anyway, I guess I'm considering getting an iPod. I have approx 12,000 songs on my PC and I'd say there are 7-8k that I need to have on my mp3 player. I don't want or need anything to do w. videos or photographs.
My big question is....
Has Apple developed a "search by letter" feature yet for browsing through your music? The last time I looked at one of my boy's iPod you could not do this. You just had to scroll and scroll and scroll down through everything.
When you have 8k+ songs, you need this feature. Also, can you search by Artist, Album or Genre like w. the DJ?"You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Official iPod Thread
I just picked up a black 80 GB video ipod this past weekend. Best money I have ever spent.
I now have Entourage seasons 1-3 loaded up, as well as a ton of music, some music video's, and some movies like Anchorman and Batman Begins. Still have a ton of space left.
I highly recommend this device.Comment

Re: Official iPod Thread
I just upgraded from my 60gb Video iPod today to the 80 gb model today. I sold it to a friend, filled to the brim with Rap music for $400. Boy, he'll be pissed when he finds out he could've gotten 20 more gigs and still had me fill it for the same price.xbl gamertag: jiggidyjames72Comment

Re: Official iPod Thread
I tend to like Costco because if something breaks, you can return it. It's like a built-in maintenance plan. I think they have the best price ($339) on the 80gb model right now too. They only carry it in black (in case that's an issue).Mario Kart Wii: 1203 9969 5095
