This lets you ditch iTunes and turns the proprietary device into a simple, nice, lossless audio player

The device itself is pretty amazing, but the software and the quality of Apple support easily makes this a 1 star item

If you want a portable music device that is simply just that (and not a 100 other things that annoy you and or interrupt your music

So I spent $200 on a supposedly "like new" device that died on me within 2 months and offered really very little in terms of extra sound quality

To this day it has some of the best AD/DA audio converters of all portable devices and is worth some additional investment for modifications some companies provide for hundreds of $$$.Love it

The device itself is simply excellent

The iPod itself is a really neat device for anyone with a lot of music who wants an easy to use player with high quality sound
