Just curious what applications were worth getting. I don't do much with my ipod except listen to stuff so I don't need anything uber-fancy. But any thoughts on the topic would be welcome.

Also, I've got itunes 4.7...is it worth updating to 4.8?

It is. You'll notice a few little tweaks here and there and there's a cool button that lets you view cover art while the song plays. I'm a huge iTunes users myself. I lost all my music recently though :( Don't forget: Always back it up!

i've been wondering this for a few days, so i might as well ask it here. Those iPods that you can see on ebay that cost like $50-$80 and the description says that the're brand new...are they real or are they scamming you? I mean, why would they sell a brand new ipod for that cheap.

Most likely they are attempting to sell you a player that has been refurbished to "brand new" condition.

Also, I would not recommend buying an iPod. I just recently received my Creative Labs Zen Micro and let me tell you, it is friggin SEXY. I love it! Much better than an iPod, it just doesn't have any games (though someone could program pong for it)

Nah... iPods all the way. I still have to fill my mini up. Not even halfway full.

Lord- Probably scamming, but you could get one of those iPod shuffles. 250 songs or so, size of a key I think.

Hey I got a 1GB Ipod Shuffle. Its about the size of one of those USB flash Drives. I get around 12hours of music on it.

The only downer with those things is you can't ttell what song is playing, and unless you memorize the order, you'd have to scroll through every song to find a specific one.

Well its a shuffle and I only put on it songs I like. It then plays them in random order. You can skip ahead and skip back.

It also has no screen so they have a fantastic battery life.

All I need it for is music. I know the songs that are loaded on there so I don't need a screen telling me what song it is.

I would present my entire case, but I'm lazy and I doubt anyone would care.

yeah, but i have at least 1500 songs (sorry, I don't count them manually [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) that I currently want to add, so a shuffle wouldn't work out; i also just don't like the concept of the shuffle. I guess I'll end up buying an ipod this summer, although I don't really wanna pay $300 for one.
