I need some help guys. I'm looking for a MP3 player that is between 5-20 GB and is campatable with Windows Media Player. I was considering getting a 5 Gb IPod Nano but I dont feel like buying every song I want to hear. I saw this one at Circuit City and it intrigued me. I'm trying to keep it under $200 but up to $250 is do-able. Any help guys and gals?

you do realize an ipod works with everything right? you don't need to "buy every song you want to hear".

I had a Dell one (actually I had two and neither worked), after a year I finally said f*** it, and shelled out the extra cash for an ipod. My friend that had an earlier model Zen did the same thing. Neither of us have regretted the ipod decision. . .

Are you serious?

I have the Dell DJ (15 GB older model), love it, though you'd probably have to order it online if you don't mind that

you can import stuff into itunes. . .

any .mp3 can go on an ipod.

So I can just sync stuff from Windows Media Player straight to the IPod???

you use the program Itunes, where you will import all the .mp3s on your computer, then the ipod works through Itunes

I already have ITunes on my computer (have no clue how since I, nor anyone using this computer, has an IPod) so I can just upload the files (already mp3's) into ITunes and sync them from there?

yes, ipods are one of the most user friendly electronics i've come across in a long while.

 

(I guess thats why all these sorority girls have them)

Itunes and the newest version of Quicktime come together. If you updated or downloaded Quicktime in the past year or so thats where you got it.

 

My Ipod is awesome, i love it. I only use it for music, but thats all I need it for. Dont worry about having to buy songs you want on your Ipod. You can download them from whatever ****** you have, buy them at the Itunes store, or download your cds. The only thing you cannot do(unless you have the proper software like me....) is take music off of your ipod and put it on your computer.

I cannot believe you didn't know that.

 

Lots of people also don't realize you can use the iPod hard drive to store any type of file that needs to be saved/transfered/whatever.

Yeah, but alot of people dont care unless they have copypod.

Holy s***....that is why I come to SoxTalk when I need help. You guys just saved my life. Thanks guys....and Soxy.

And yes, it was Quicktime that I recently downloaded so I guess the ITunes came with it. Thanks again for all your help guys!

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

Plug in your iPod, go to my computer, drag and drop files into the iPod hard drive. Useful for transferring movies from one computer to another, making a backup, whatev.

Maybe we arent talking about the same thing, but my Ipod prevents me from taking anything and transferring it to my computer, hence the need for the program Copypod, which lets me "rip" files from my Ipod and transfer them to my computer.

Yep. I have a 3rd gen, and it can act as a portable hard drive for any type of file. I'm pretty sure you can do it with a 4th gen as well, that's what my roommate has and he does it too.
