Re: Official iPod Discussion Thread

What is low price to you?

The official Apple in-ear headphones have been getting great reviews and at $79 appear to be a steal.

LIke 50 or lower.

Are they selling those now?

Or the 32GB

I'd seriously be lost without this thing.

Oops, I totally meant to type 32GB. That's what I have.

I wish they'd come out with a 64GB that have camera and video recording capabilities.

They should be in Apple Stores this weekend as they have started shipping from their site already.

If you're going under $50, take a look here:

The Sony's are only $20 and people seem to like them. The #1 seller aren't the ones I was talking about, just so you know.

I have a pair of Shure earphones. Only paid 50 bucks for.

Re: Official iPod Discussion Thread

Is there anyway to add your own cover art to an album in iTunes or can you only get it through the store? I'm a dork and create my own covers for mixes and greatest hits stuff that I create and I want an album cover for every album in my library.

Just copy and paste.

Yeah you can just click get info on any songs and pull up that menu. If you click on the "Artwork" tab you can drag and drop any picture you want. At least that's how I think I did it in the past maybe someone has a better explanation.

Re: Official iPod Discussion Thread

Good stuff, I'll have to check it out.

EDIT: Just tried to drag/drop and it didn't let me. I'm in the library part using the cover flow view.

Re: Official iPod Discussion Thread

Just picked up a 8GB Touch for my mother for Christmas. This one is way newer than mine, and I'm a little jealous. I didn't know it had a built in speaker...

Well if anyone's looking Target has 8GB for $229 plus you get a $25 gift card with purchase.

Re: Official iPod Discussion Thread

Another question on the iPod classic - what's up with the durability of these things? I'm reading user reviews on the web and people are casually making comments like, "This is my fourth iPod..."

Do they break that easily? What's their problem if they do go?

Cracked screen?
Battery craps out?
Wheel breaks?

I'm a little hesitant to spend $250 on something that may only last six months.


Also, with the TV out cables, can this be used for displaying album art on your TV or just for watching videos? Let's say I'm having a party and wanted to have the cover art, song info etc on my HDTV throughout the party, can this be done?

I've had my ipod for 3 years now with no problems. You can use the video out to watch movies I'm pretty sure.

I put my first IPOD (5th Gen Video) Through hell and back multiple times, from freezing cold conditions to dropping it several times by mistake and it's still ticking after all this time. The only reason I got a new one was because I liked the Touch interface and the battery life was starting to go on the old one.

Video out cannot be used for displaying cover art on screen. The Zune 120 does this but the Ipod Classic and Touch dont.

Re: Official iPod Discussion Thread

^^ Do you have the Zune 120?
