Topic: iPod

[sam]

as you can guess, I used to live on my ipod. All difference now with my phone does everything in one. Still I love being able to listen to music on the go.

I was gonna say don't get a nano  - I have one but the touch screen is a little small and fiddly for me... but works like a dream.

Downloading music, I hate itunes - I much prefer play.com - as I find it cheaper and easier. But iTunes is click and go.

Oh and the audio quality is nicely improved by using proper headphones and not the s**t that apple give by default.

Been there, Rod.

So how much would itunes charge for 60's downloads? 

[GillE]

I wouldn't know  .

[sam]

same price as all music, though I recall the Beatles albums are more expensive on itunes than CD. I prefer CDs and rip them and stick them on the device.

Which means no DRM too.

[Clive]

Can you please cut to the chase and give me a ball park figure?   

[sam]

  99p

[Clive]

WHAT???   That's twice as much as I paid back in the 60's when they were brand new!!!  

[sam]

and that's per track.

So, I've found the iPod in a seemingly unopened box.  It's a 30GB 7500 songs variety if that is meaningful.  The box contains the iPod, a USB cable and a pair of naff earphones but no CD.  Is there supposed to be one?     It says I must attach it to my computer which I did several hours ago and it displays the message "Do not disconnect".  What happens next?

Clive, you need to download itunes 1st

Forgot to say RTFM

I'm surprised there isn't a disk in that type. I'm guessing its the one that isn't touch screen? Windows media player should have connected to it but I guess first use probably does mean using itunes
