    i'm also an ipod user and have been through about 7 ipods in about 4 years,

    the only one that broke that wasn't my fault was the one i have at the moment which just stopped working but i had an inkling since day one it wasn't right as it crashed more often than the one i had last, plus i wasn't too bothered as i have the coverplan anyway and a backup shuffle if anything goes wrong.

    As for itunes again i've heard a lot of people slag it off, from my experience i have had no problems with at all and the latest version seems to be more responsive on my system and the coverflow thing is very handy as well

    all in all i don't really get the ipod hating team, i had a creative zen years ago and it just wasn't as easy to use as an ipod which is what i look for in a machine (second to sound quality, which again the ipod is one of the best in this category).

    Get a Zen Vision - M or a Vision - W. Seriously you will be glad you had! If you are after a player that can play video then look no further.

    But of course there are more players than just these 2 makes, IRiver etc are pretty good.

    I know. It's like the fucking console wars all over again. It's a piece of consumer electronics for God's sake. You don't hear people bragging about how their brand of TV is so much better than another (I hope).

    Incidentally, if I was to look at it based on specs and reviews, I would hazard a guess at Sony making the best MP3 players. Much better battery life, the best sound quality going, good looking, reliable and a good pair of earphones too. Not that I've ever used one.

    I don't listen to music, but if I did, I'd use my mobile phone which has a 2gb sd memory card, and windows media player :thumb:

    I reckon its all down to the way you treat your ipod:thumb:

    Couldn't have been anything to do with that - I managed to drop my Philips MP3 player several times, which lasted me nearly a year...

    I thought iTunes was alright until it decided that it wasn't going to let me add anymore music to the playlist...

    Well, I would never have bought an ipod, due to people talking about how shit they are and how poor the battery life is, but I was bought one last christmas. And it is still going strong, still has good battery life and is very easy to use and I like itunes. So, all in all, I'm a convert :D

    i had a creative zen for christmas '05. it was fine apart from it used to freeze when first switched on. it stopped working a few weeks ago so i took it back and after much deliberation opted for an ipod nano.

    someone please reply to my ipod question thread. :(

    Ooh err, I got a nano yesterday too! I was swayed by the fact it'd sexy looking, for a start, and pink. Yes, I'm a big girl and that's all it takes. No problems to report so far.

    All this mp3 rivalry is a bit pathetic, imo. If you like it, and it works for you, then :thumb:

    my zen is awesome, got it xmas '04. 60gb Jukebox Xtra, unfortunately its been discontinued now :(

    as i've filled it, and want more features (colour screen, video playback, album covers et al) i'm considering getting the 80gb ipod. but honestly don't think it'll be big enough!

    4gb for 117 squids. My mate's away to America at the moment, so he could have got it a wee bit cheaper over there, but I am impatient and wanted it immediately. Heh. :)

    I did consider the green one. It was a toughie for me, cause I probably like green more than pink. But I liked the particular shade of the green less than the pink one, so pink won the day!

    i would've liked a black one but they only had that in an 8gb which i did consider buying. was a tough call!

    I don't understand how you could possibly think 80gb isn't enough?

    Surely if you fill it up, and you want to add there's stuff you can take off that you don't listen to or have gotten tired off.

    Even when I had my 6gb iPod there were albums I could take off, if I needed to add something else instead.

    I just want to upgrade because I know with videos I'll need the extra space.

    true, but in the past i have dj'ed off it, so it helps to have a wide range, esp when you get requests and shit.

    80 should be fine, anyway.
