Does anyone in DU own an iPod?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

Which one, what do you think of it and what do you use it for?

[JohnKleeb]

1. 10GB and it just broke on me

:cry: I need a new one, thank god I kept the receipt.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

2. What went wrong?

[JohnKleeb]

4. ummm

It says do not disconnect. Dont worry about it. I am not that sad.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

8. I'll watch that one. Thanks!

[MissMarple]

20. That just happened to my son's new one. Check your battery.

His had run down.

[JohnKleeb]

21. I doubt it

I know how to recharge it but thanks.

5. where'd you buy it?

I got mine at Comp USA and bought an extended warranty so if anything happens to it Apple (by way of Comp USA) will either fix it or give me a new one. since the one I have (15 Gb) is now discontinued I'd get the newer 20 Gb model that replaced it.

7. The Apple Store

3. I've got a (discontinued) 15 Gb one

I got it right when the second generation of iPods came out towards the beginning of the summer.

I use Macs and haven't had any problems with it, and neither has my girlfriend who uses PCs.

6. That's the one I have

Other than a couple of minor bugs, I've loved it.
I use it mainly in the car (I use a cassette adaptor which sounds very good); no messing with stacks of CD's.
I wish it had a real playlist feature instead of "playlist on the go" (which resets itself everytime you connect to the Mac).
I keep mine on shuffle; it loves choosing Led Zeppelin even though Zeppelin is a fraction of one percent of my total library. Hmmmm.

9. I have one of th eold 10G ones

I love it.

10. We have a 30GB and a 40GB.

We love them both, and have about 2/3 of our CD library converted
over to iTunes AAC files so far.

By the way, if it permanently says "Do not disconnect" whenever you
dock it to a Mac, it may be mounting to the desktop as a FireWire
disk drive. If you have the preference set to do that, then that
semi-permanent "Do not disconnect" message is normal behavior in
that mode.

The iPods are fine devices; they're certainly one of the best
music players around, and it's very cool to have a 40GB transportable
data device in your shirt pocket.

11. I have a question...

Has anyone seen the new iPod commercial with the silhouettes dancing up against the pastel colors? And the hip-hop/reggae guy doing the vocals? Now...is it just me, or does he say "shake that tittie" at the end?
I'd really appreciate some feedback on this.

13. shake that thing

I think, if I'm imagining this correctly, you're thinking of Sean Paul, a jamaican rapper/hip hop guy.

He's saying "shake that thing."

[Guaranteed]

15. Alright but listen careful next time you see that

commercial....it's about 2 seconds before the very end....seriously!

19. Here are the ads

By the same company that did the 1984 commercial

Great air guitar on the second ad

12. I have one of the originals, and I love it!

It's been a blessing. I take it everywhere, and it allows me to catch up on my listening. (I'm a serious live recording collector.) Haven't had a single problem with it, except the Firewire cable provided with it failed (understandable, given the frequent disconnecting/reconnecting for updates and recharging).

One of my students recently got one of the second-generation iPods. I'm insanely jealous. Of course, his family has more money than God.

14. i have the original 5 Gb model

might replace it around Christmas, or just buy a refubed iBook from the Apple Store and be happy :evilgrin:

[alfredo]

18. How much would you sell the old one for?

Just asking.

[qwertyMike]

16. Pardon my ignorance

Do you have to be a MAC user to use an iPod?

They are MP3 players, right?

[GOPisEvil]

17. Nope - Mac or Windows
