I've got 3 iPods, 1G 5gb, 3G 15 and 40gb. All badass. Obviously.


OT: Has anyone encounmtered a bloody noisy harddrive on their 1G? Mine has begun to make a gawdawful racket when it spins up and down.

I use a 20gb creative labs portable hard drive that I store MPEG4 format movies on it and MP3 music on it. I bought it on Ebay for $125. I also have a Compaq Ipaq 7530 with a 128mb card in it. But that is a work issue tool.

i have 1 3G 10GB and one 3.5G (they changed the drive brand and backlight)

the 3.5G is a replacement (free via applecare ) for a 3g that had a rediculously loud hard drive that eventually failed

but i know alot of people with 1G ones and i used to have one never had that problem

whats the point of more than 1 ipod?

5gb stays in the Jag, hardwired.
15gb stays in the bimmer,

40gb stays on my person.

spinal tap! hell yes, thats great

iPods are nice, but I think a lot of the money you pay is for the "style" and the name. I am pretty pleased with my Creative Labs Nomad Zen Xtra, but its a but too big. That rio pictured above looks really sweet and comes with some nice sized hard drives.

[Habla]

Yes, my Karma kicks ass, and so does Spinal Tap!! It goes to eleven...

[Rob]

after messing with both the ipod 15 gig and mini....the size difference is a lot greater than I had previously thought. Mini it is, if i decide to spring for one

Be aware of jogging with hard drive players, they tend get jostled a lot. If you buy any hard drive player, please get an extended warranty!! You will thank me if you need to send it back. I had to send my Karma back to Rio because the drive died (fuck Hitachi!!). Rio is having a lot of problems with the Karma's drive right now, so I would stay away. The player kicks ass, but hitachi is letting Rio down. It took me a month to get a new player. Better yet, if you buy a hard drive player, buy it at a local store (best buy, Circuit City...) so that if your player breaks, you just run over to the store and they hand you a brand new one. No hassles with Apple or Rio or Iriver...

By the way, check out http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/forum...?s=&forumid=22 for lots of good info about digital audio players.

yeah, I'm planning on buying a 'protection plan' with my player...I have one for my digital camera, and I dropped it after about 6 months. Since the store no longer had the exact camera, they gave me credit for the value of the camera towards a new one, I was very happy.

I plan on integrating the iPod into my new deck at some point. No need for silly CD's with a hard drive.
