Bob Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 You can upload mp3s that you already own to an Ipod. I don't know this from experience, but I read it in a computer newsletter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Yes. It will be a simple transfer (copy). You hook the IPOD up to the PC and then you are all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I don't have the technology yet either but my Daughter has had one since they came out. Simply think of it as hi-volume memory stick with a player attached to it. The really slick deal is getting the trans-ceiver that allows you to play the player over a specific FM frequency. Sounds dynomite in any car with a good sound system. Soon to make the plunge myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 VG - whats the current drive/memory size up to? I think my daughter has 20GB on hers. I've got about 25GB of music digitized and it would be very cool to have that all with me in my travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 It's kinda crummy that you don't get the same unit back when you send it in for battery replacement. I guess that's better than their original trick, where they just said, "Too bad. Buy a new one" when the battery would no longer hold a charge. I'm glad that portable music is no longer that important to me. I do like it in the car, however, and I'm considering buying a player I saw in Wal-Mart. You plug it into the 12V power port, then plug any USB flash drive into it. It plays through the radio. I wouldn't mind carrying a memory stick, or two, in the car instead of a few dozen CDs.

BlackLabelJetsFan Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 How many years (hoping for Ipod owners its years) will it take for the battery to not hold a charge? My thinking being is that if it will last for a few years before needing replacement, you'll be replacing the whole thing with a newer model anyway.

124 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 As I was working the other day, somebody bought a newspaper and the front page headline caught my eye: THEY KILLED FOR AN IPOD. 2 17 year olds killed a 15 year old in NYC for a freakin IPod. Now I'm 17 and I don't have an IPod because I think they're a waste. What do you need them for? If you have a car you play the CDs or Radio and if you don't who the hell listens to music when they are walking around with their friends around town(s)? Nobody I know, they're pointless.

BlackLabelJetsFan Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Kids were killed for Air Jordan sneakers back in the day. They were killed for 8-Ball jackets back in the day. Ipods are just the next high-priced item that scumbags will kill you for. People in NYC are swapping out the white headphones for more generic ones so that folks wont know they have an Ipod and rob them. I dont have one, but I can see how they're good for commuting on the subway/train for work. Or for working out. Though couldnt you get other MP3 players for much less money?

Times I listen to my IPod... --When walking around town, or riding my bike. --When playing poker --When on a different computer that isn't mine. --When riding home on the bus --While at the gym --When I'm waiting for a class to start.
