I love my iPod

[Jenny Gump]

A very good looking guy I know bought me an iPod for my birthday (see....sex CAN pay kids). Anywho, I've really grown to love the little thing. I carry it almost everywhere I go and have spent way too much money on music for it. I haven't bought too many gadgets for it, but was wondering what iPod accessories each of you iPodders have found to be worth the purchase?

[Hammock Parties]

iPods blow. You bought an overrated product. Return it and get a superior mp3 player.

Well, that makes three of us that blow...you, me, and the iPod.

I've got the Bose iPod system in my house and it's a great alternative to a huge stereo system. Plus, it's portable so I can take it into any room in the house without any hassles. Great for outside, too.

She already owns a 30GB Ipod that was given to her as a gift dumbass. You fail at reading comprehension. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

She should return it. She'd be happier with the one I linked, or a similar model.

Trust me, she's orgasmic over the one she currently owns.

Obviously not. He bought her an iPod.

He provides much more than a buzz.

I got more last week than you've had in your entire life. Did I mention that I'm an old man?

Thanks baby.

Thanks baby.

damn im lucky....the maturity and income level of a 40 year old.....the stamina of a 25 year old.....the sense of humor of a 12 year old. Life is good.

[Sully]

I love my Ipod, as well.
To be honest, I had no idea a lot of the organizational pros of it, till I went to the Apple store at the Mall of America, and there was a guy doing a presentation.

I haven't bought any gadgets for it, though, other than a couple of covers.

[Adept Havelock]

My suggestion

http://www.icarkits.com/?gclid=COXhrdXZl4cCFSDWJAodV3x5Jg

50+ GB's of MP3's=Never having to listen to commercial radio again.

[Rain Man]

I just realized that Ipod spelled backwards is Dopi.

I got my wife an Ipod for Christmas last year. I got her some stuff with it too, but I think the only thing she uses are the little colorful gloves that go on it. She likes to switch out the colors once in a while.

I still haven't gotten a car adaptor for mine, but I want one. Also, why in the hell are you spending money on music. :shake:

Are you talking about you or him?

Phil.

[big nasty kcnut]

I wish i had the u2 limited edition one with all the u2 music on it.

[kcjayhawks5]

the u2 one has all the music of u2 on it already?

[Rain Man]

Phil.

I thought Phil had the stamina of a 40 year old, the income and maturity of a 12 year old, and the sense of humor of a 75 year old.

[Rain Man]

As performed by the Eagles.

That was really nice of you Zach!!!

[2bikemike]

I really enjoy my IPODs as well. I have a 4 gig nano with about 900 songs on it. I use it on my bike and it took me about 550 song to get to Sturgis from San Diego Via Glacier National park and Yellowstone.

I also have a 20 GB which did not work out so well on the bike it kept locking up due to being a hard drive version. That one is now in my truck.

No more Radio for me. All music all the time and its all music I like.

[VAChief]

Nevermind the mac/ipod haters...enjoy...I have had my 20gig for 3 years now...hook it up to the stereo at home...take it to work (I have a Dell at work) and I have an adapter that works even on that POS...1300 songs and counting...thinking about getting a video model...

[tommykat]

Hey Jim,
From Jens avatar I would think that you 2 red heads hit it off..:hmmm: Na, she rules you. ROFL

[Braincase]

Won the 2 Gb SanDisk Sansa player at Microsoft's TechEd in June. Plugged it into one of my systems at home and it asked which playlist I wanted to sync to... love it.

I use one of those old fake cassette things in the car, and I am surprised by the quality of the output.

Metal to go!

[Reaper16]

My 60GB iPod and me are inseperable. (I chose iPod because I already had all of my music organized with iTunes.)

[keg in kc]

When you say "I love my iPod", do you mean you wrap it up in a baggie and let it go clam diving?

That's certainly what I meant. I'm just going to assume the same.

[Phobia]

Wait until JimNasium's girlfriend of 5 years finds out about JennyGump. I think Springfield will just implode.

And then ZachKC will end up with half of JimNasium's money.

[ChiefFan31]

I just bought the 60GB iPod just a couple of weeks ago. I like it alot. I have "acquired" a bunch of movies and TV shows for it. That part is pretty sweet. I mainly got it for the large amount of music I have on my PC and want to be able to listen to it all in my car.

Recommended accessories are

1) get a case for it pronto (I still need to get one) the unit if fragile
2) car adapter - the FM adapter seems to be the most popular. I am getting a line input (cant remember the exact name) I want CD quality sound, not FM quality.
3) I am going to get the A/C charger to be able to charge it while away from a PC. (I need to find out if you can listen while charging first)

There are a shitload of other accessories, but those are the most useful IMO. The radio stand is a good one, but not needed for me.

Edit - oh yeah, stop buying music. Good grief. Hopefully someone can hook you up.

You know this thread isn't really about iPods.

[Smed1065]

Obviously not. He bought her an iPod.
I have waited to judge, But get a life. There reasons for hating you steem from an azz and not an open mind. You are not the only one on earth and I know its hard to accept star wars is still not number one at the box office.

Damn they are right, you are an azz because you have a closed mind and are an azz. Its called people skills and you are ignorant with the benefit because I feel you know no betters, at least I hope cause U R sorry for a human. .

I know it, but it started that way...

Or....so I thought

[|Zach|]

Crazy kids and your crazy VD.

[jspchief]

Yea, Ipods suck. :rolleyes:

That explains why Creative just spent a boatload of money for the rights to use the Ipod's user control system.

[rageeumr]

I was kind of in the "Ipod's suck" camp when I started looking at MP3 players. In fact, I have a smaller-capacity Philips model that I had bought first.

When I really started thinking about it though, there are so many more accessories for the ipods, not to mention that I can control an ipod through my Kenwood head unit in my car (that I love). So I'm about a week away from getting a 4GB nano. I'd get a video, but I know I'd beat the crap out of the hard drive in about a week.

Of course it helps that I opened a rewards account at CompUSA and bought about 4 computers for my company there, so I have about $200 in gift certificates built up :D

For about $70, the iTrip Auto from Griffin is a good accessory. It combines a car charger with an FM broadcaster so you can listen to your iPod on your car stereo.

I'm actually in the market for an Ipod, but i'm not sure which one I should go with.

On the Apple website, it lists the 4GB Nano for $249, which can supposedly hold 1000 songs. It also lists a normal 30GB Ipod for $299, which can hold 7500 songs. Are you simply getting an extra 28GB for $50, or are there benefits the Nano has that the normal Ipod doesn't have? Seems like a no brainer to go with the 30GB Ipod, but maybe i'm missing something.

Also, are there cheaper places to buy Ipods rather than directly through Ipod? Does Overstock have good deals every now and then?

I don't think luv knows about Jenny yet.

[eazyb81]

Would the original Ipod be too large to use for working out? That's probably going to be my main use for it, along with walking to and from work.

[htismaqe]

I would recommend reading up fully before dropping $200+ on an iPod.

Apple has made it clear that they view the iPod as "semi-disposable" and needing upgrades every couple of years. The factory-stock battery loses 25% or more of it's storage capacity within the 1st 6 months and servicing it is an expensive nightmare.

There's tons of class-action lawsuits out there, and some of them have already gone against Apple...

I don't know personally a single iPod owner that hasn't had problems. The lady that sits next to me at work has had hers for just over a year and has already spent $150 to have it serviced on two separate occasions.

I bought a Rio, and bought her the Ipod, and having used both I would buy an Ipod if I had it to do over again.

[Ozarks-Chiefs-Fan]

i've used my ipod pretty much every day for the last year and half and haven't had a single problem.
i know at some point the battery will go down and when it does i will replace it from ipodjuice.com

[htismaqe]

Don't get me wrong.

You guys own them, I don't, so I will trust your first-hand experience.

The biggest complaint I hear is not that they break, it's how much it costs to get them fixed...

BINGO!

IPOD - UI - very nice.

Apple = proprietary technology

I don't own either one. PC at work/home. CDs in car.

If I had one it would NOT be a an Apple

Creative licence the UI software smart.

[Frosty]

I've had my 60G iPod for over a year and use it all of the time. I've never had any problems with it. Over 6500 songs and going strong. I looked at the other options at the time and decided on the iPod because it had features and accessories that the others didn't.

I tried an FM transmitter and instantly decided there must be a better choice. Here is my favorite accessory: Sik Imp (http://www.sik.com/imp.php) Provides a true line out and charges while playing in the car.

By the way, if you want external speakers, use an Imp and some powered computer speakers. Much cheaper than those iPod speaker setups.

[Mr. Laz]

Thanks baby.
i think i just puked up into my mouth a little. :Lin:

The nano's are flash drives and the 30 and 60GB are hard drive. If you are going to use it in an area where there is lots of vibration like say on the handlebars of a motorcycle you will want a flash drive. The hard drive models will lock up to protect the hard drive.
