I too have had my iPod for a long time. LOVE IT, ther eis nothing that can compete it in my mind. You can pick it up having never touched an ipod before and find the song of your choice in minutes. I think the battery life is great (as long as you don't use the backlight when not needed....like in bright areas) All in all, i wouldn't trade my ipod in for anything, except maybe an ipod video instead of an old school 20 gig ipod.

I've had my iPod for nearly 2 years now, and I wouldn't part with it. Tried other MP3 players, and they just don't cut it (not iRiver, not anything).

I see the iPod junkies are out in force today.

I however am of a diffrent variety. iRiver is my brand of choise. Models to check out is last years IFP-799. Or this years models T10, T20 and T30.

All I can say is that iRivers equalizers and amps are far superior to anything else out there at this time.

And it's not even remotely as ugly as an iPod. ;)

DJ and I were supposed to buy each other iPod's when they came out.

Didn't happen... :P

I have had one for a good while now; each time a new generation comes through I send my old one to my cousin and he sends the next generation back. I have a good routine going. :)

I tend to need alot of space for my songs; I have a seperate, 20gb drive just for music. It is around 74% full at the moment, so you see my need for space. :P

Generally, iPod's are the way to go if you like all your music easily accessible, due to the way the menus are set up. Say if I wanted to choose Arc Arsenal by At the Drive-In, I would start at the main menu and go:
Browse ->
Artist ->
At the Drive-In ->
Relationship Command (Album name) ->
Arc Arsenal.

It's a simple set-up, and you'll quickly find yourself accessing songs in a manner of seconds.

Hope this helps. :)

to be honest, I'd get an IPOD

They work on Windows, they also work on Macintosh

plus, they look cool, you have all sorts of varieties, and they're the best, from what I've heard. (Also concerning service when it's broken, damaged, not-working, ...)

and lol Ataris, if u have loads of songs then u have to search through loads to find the one u want :P which is why im my opinoun: 500mb - 1gb is pretty much all you need :)

Luckily the songs on new iPods and other players can be sorted in to folders, folders which contain a certain genre -> sub-genre -> artist/complilation -> songname... So I can't see what would be so hard in using one of those big ones.

If you organize, you will find everything with ease. I know this, my friend has a Creative jukebox or whatever it's called. Simple and easy.

ah sorry :P i thought we were talking about mp3s and i wasnt aware that they had folder sorting O_O

I would go for a jukebox one (usually has 20-60GB) because those aren't that expensive in comparison to how much music they can hold. Then again, you wont probably need that many songs on your mp3 player, then again, it would be nice to have a lot of songs so one wouldn't need to load new songs when you want to listen to something else..

I don't remember makes/models but usually they cost around 50-100e more than the 1-2GB ones of the same make..

probably 1Gb is best, if you like lots and lots of music on.

that said, i have a 512Mb and hardly listen to many of the songs on it.

Or you could get the most breakable object ever....a.k.a Ipod Nano :P
