To be honest, the name and look. Technically they have been poor value for money compared to competing models since day 1.

Mostly the name. Would you rather say "I have a sony mp3 player" or "I have an iPod"?

Does it have anything to do with size? Size as in room for songs. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I bought my Dad an Ipod for christmas. But I have a MP3 player. I am sure I have to load songs for him or it will never get done. Is it a different process?

Not really. You just start up iTunes, select songs from a cd or from the computers library and drag them to the iPod's icon.

True. But if you were a hardcore music critic you would find that the compression of that of mass storage devices like ipods, distort the music and it is then of lesser quality.
