There are also models available that offer 30, 40, and 60GB, but unless someone wants to use an iPod to back up their computer hard drive, the 20GB model is more than enough to hold most peoples entire collection of music and pictures twice over, so why spend more money than necessary

As a computer illiterate person, setting up the program did present a slight problem which was quickly taken care of

Apple has made the use of the ipod on more than one computer nearly impossible for the person who doesn't want to spend their weekends figuring out it's nuances

iTunes slows down my computer to a crawl, mostly when i am ripping CD's (somewhat understandable)to the point that a cannot use it for much else

it slowed down my computer more than anything else i have ever put on it (and tahts including some games which are over

a more standard mp3 player, one that I can play whatever I like, move to however many player or computers that I like etc

It's cheaper, the people are nicer (as I have many other Sony products, and no qualms with them), and you don't have to install iTunes, which slows down your computer quite a bit

Then I tried hooking it up to 3 different computers in order to try to delete the songs that were skipping but the ipod effectively crashed all 3 computers.
