    I like non-Apple mp3 players. I like how they function as external hard drives. I can drag files directly on to my Creative, and then view the files once they are on the player. My iPod player only allows me to drag from iTunes, and then when the files are on the iPod, I can't view them as the original file names. Plus, if I rebuild my PcC and connect the iPod, I'm forced to start the download process all over again.

    Buy another brand, not an iPod. That's my advice.

    Reason being, firstly you HAVE to use their crappy player. Secondly everyone I know who has ever had an iPod (and that's a lot of people) has had it break on them..

    +1 QFT!

    Do not get an ipod. They and their software are totally user friendly, especially when getting music from more than one pc.

    I love my iPod! It's been tough and reliable. I've had no problem with multiple iPods on one computer. The manual setting is not hard to handle at all!

    i have a question about for the non-ipoders... or the ipoders who have used other players... with other ones can you bounce back and forth from a mac to a pc?

    I just know that when I tried to open my iPod from my computer, all the song names were encrypted, and I couldn't see what was where...

    I don't think there's too much to go wrong with getting an IPod. Setting it up can be frustrating, and the whole Itunes/mp4 thing is kind of like a monopoly. But it's good.

    I've only skimmed over the thread so apologies, but if you're into video, I'd reccomend the Creative Zen Vision M (bit of a mouthful). I think the 80GB version is cheaper than the Ipod version, and the battery life is far more superior. It looks a bit clunky but it worked well for me (until someone stole it!).

    Its music I'll be using it for only really and just for car or journey. I will listen to cds or other areas.

    Is there a device so that it can be worked off cd players in a house?( I bought the one for the car)

    Id go with the ipod
    I love mine

    yes they are expensive, you need to upgrade the headphones and they do have problems

    but they are easy to use and more people use ITunes than any other-allows for an easier exchange of music

    Really? That is the biggest complaint i have with my iPod. The exchange of music is so much more difficult than a "non-iPod" mp3 player. My experience anyway

    if you use the burn disc function-then yes

    but I guess its pretty much the same otherwise

    Every time that I got to install software for an newer version I get an unknown error occured {1413)

    I go to restore it and the same thing comes up. I had upload around 1500 songs on to it yesterday and I have nothing on it now.

    Also should I not use sync if I delate song off my computer as they would be erased off my i-pod?

    If you erase a song off your computer it erases it off your ipod as well so i find it better to turn sync off.
