i love ipods. and music.

All in all, I must say, it is a pretty good little music player.

The music sounds good and the books come across great

While this was an expected step, most rumor sites were predicting the latest incarnation of Apple's market leading music player to bridge into video, which was saved for the full-blown fifth gen iPod

iTunes is a breeze to use and offers great music organization features as well as the easiest playlist creation you can ask for.

So I'm grateful for what it does do - gives me hours of pleasure listening to all my favorite music and browsing through my photograph collection up close and personal with the easy click and twirl of my fingers or thumb

It is one of the costliest music players out there!

Converting your music (burn, rerip or use a converter) would be necessary.

All in all, if you can convince yourself that a portable music player should cost $450/$490 then this is definitely one of the best ones to get, even with its quirks.

The ipod is the only portable music player that has more accessories made by more companies and smaller businesses out there than there are grains of sand at the beach!

True to its promise it is a great music player and the itunes software is intuitive and makes it easy to create playlists.

I think it's important to point out that iPod is a tool and only a tool - a portable music player - a compact digital device with much in common with a laptop computer.

Despite the conversion to Apple's format, the music still sounds very good.

(Another recommendation: don't use the Apple proprietary music format in case you experience what we did and don't want to give Apple a second chance afterward

I have really enjoyed my I pod until I started to get errors in January 2006
