I've had my MP3 player for the best part of 10 years, I have never had reason to upgrade it.

I bought a 2nd gen ipod mini about 5-6 years ago... still going strong :)
well i'm currently contemplating a 16b Ipod touch. will have a look in the apple store this evening and see what its like.
I've got a 40Gb iRiver HP-140 that I still use daily. Built like a Brick WC ;) Sounds great too, far far better than my 30Gb iPod video, which very rarely gets used now..
I refuse to buy one, we pay £50 more than the americans do for an ipod touch. Get a Samsung YP-P2 lovely player and oddles better.
Well i sucmbered to the masses and got myself a 16gb Ipod Touch. i must admit. its damn sexy. even made me think should i have got the iphone instead. will post some pics later once i clean it up http://209.85.62.25/6386/65/emo/love-smiley-086.gif :redface:

I hate the iphone, it's an ugly piece of ****.... looks like something off star trek.
Standard ipods, now they're handy and are the one bit of apple kit I have, would and intend to buy any time soon. (multi)Functional, stylish, fairly robust and well priced... if apple could do the last point with the rest of their kit, and use more high-end components in some of their machiines, they'd be a lot more attractive a company to me.
I agree... cheapo ****e if you ask me, with a large pricetag too
And dont get me started with the software
I looove Apple devices. There OS works first time Unlike any windoz OS!
I much prefer walkmans. Ok the Sonicstage software is pants, but this (https://www.sonystyle.co.uk/SonyStyle/catalog/categorieInPath/(xcm=PCM_b2ccrmstandard&layout=15_116_61_50_117_121_2&uiarea=2&ctype=areaDetails&carea=45E339DEB33B0095000000002BC29B85)/.do?key=0/412387E34B0F00D4000000002BC29B8F/45E339DEB33B0095000000002BC29B85)is far less noncy than an iSchmuk.
Hate Sony, In there day they used to be good but now there over priced and offer nothing over any other brand. yet they still charge a premium for there goods because of the name.
With regards the ipod. I used to be well against them up until i owned a 80gb Classic last year. I've now upgraded to the ipod touch and i must admit it is very nice, very easy to use and is as slim and sexy as Kate Moss.
Itunes software i dont have any issues with very easy to use , ok not as easy as drag and drop. but being able to select a album by looking at the album cover is a very nice feature. i could go on and on about the features but all i'll say is spend 5mins using it and you'll want one.
The more 'must have' something becomes, the more 'must avoid' my attitude toward it becomes.
I'll stick with my walkman, it's different. You iSheeple stick with your iLives :P
LOL.
Your only jealous ;)
If I can afford a walkman I can afford an iPod, It's all a matter of taste. You get music out of all the music box's anyway.
i know just pulling your leg ;)
I know, I just enjoy ranting about people being boring.
ITUNES is the WORST piece of cr** ever written. I want to drag and drop and have folders like windows explorer - -simple as. None of this convert it rubbish, etc etc
Agreed, my next music box will be DRM free. Sick and tired of Sonicstage.
Just for Tystar 21 reasons why Itunes SUCKS DUDE!
1. When iTunes would import AIFF files from a faster external FireWire CD ROM drive, it resulted in files with spurious skips.
2. iTunes would rip AIFF files at slow speeds (4X-6X) from the internal (667MHz DVI) Titanium PowerBook (TiPB) Combo drive. On an old 500MHz Pentium III PC, Nero ripped AIFF tracks at much faster speeds (typically 16X). Note: the PC had an old CD drive with a speed rating equal to the TiPB.
3. iTunes would not read all CDs from the TiPB's internal optical drive.
4. The PC would import album cover art through MusicMatch while ripping, but iTunes does not.
5. When importing AIFF versions of MP3 music that you already have in your iTunes library, iTunes can lose both the MP3 file and the newly imported AIFF files when you confirm that you want it to replace only the MP3 versions.
6. iTunes constantly obliterates library and play list settings when you re-add files to your library.
7. iTunes is incapable of transcoding your music collection on syncs to your iPod. It would be great to downcode full CD quality AIFFs automatically to 128 Kbps AAC files on syncs to your iPod, and maybe 224 Kbps on syncs to your laptop.
8. iTunes does not allow you to reorder its leftmost column heading. Why the hell not? I would like the artist column to be first instead of the intractable song title column.
9. Engaging the CD eject button puts the entire system into a conniption.
10. If you store your music library on a FireWire drive, and if that drive becomes unavailable for some reason, then iTunes resets the library location to your home directory without telling you! When you later plug in your FireWire drive and import your next CD, iTunes will stash the music in your home directory instead of on your FireWire drive where all your music is supposed to reside.
11. When you reset your default music library location that iTunes inappropriately reset (i.e., see item 10 above), you have to wait through "updating song locations," and file reorganization even if no files have moved and you are merely correcting iTunes' mis-set file location setting.
12. Any false move will cause iTunes to reorganize your music files in only god knows what way; if you're not careful you may end up losing files because you don't know what iTunes is doing or where it might be placing your files.
13. Why the hell won't it let you name tracks the way you like? The actual file names assigned by iTunes are just the track title and track number; neither artist name nor album title are used to name the file. This makes locating or consolidating files into a single directory difficult; there is a potential of different artists having the same song title, which cannot coexist in the same directory.
14. The transcode user interface is moronic. The transcode menu is under the Advanced menu in iTunes; but wait, before you highlight the tunes you want to transcode and select the menu, you must first set the output format. How? You go to the preferences panel and select the transcode output format under the import options.
15. As if the transcode interface wasn't bad enough, it integrates miserably with your iTunes library database. As a bonus, iTunes intermixes the transcoded files with the original files in your iTunes library. Good lord, why? Does anyone want to have both versions in a single library? Whether you want it or not, congratulations, now you have two versions of the song in your iTunes library and no easy way to separate the transcoded version out from your original tracks
16. Transcoding from AIFF files from one FireWire drive to another is slow. Amazingly, with no other applications hogging the CPU, a 667 MHz TiPB transcodes already ripped AIFFs to 128 Kbps VBR MP3s or 224 Kbps AAC files only at around 7.5X speed. MusicMatch on a 500 MHz Pentium III imports from the CD drive at 8X.
17. Transcoding in iTunes is unreliable for a large number of files. iTunes will just bomb for no discernable reason when you have it transcode a few thousand AIFFs (sometimes the bomb is so severe that it seems to have logged out of the account and re-logged-in). The transcode process does not log its progress, and does not necessarily transcode the selected files in any given order. What this means is you have to delete whatever files iTunes successfully transcoded, and start over because there is no easy way to continue from the point of failure.
18. iTunes does not come with support for 3rd party plug-in encoders such as OGG, etc. Particularly saddening is the lack of support for any type of compressed lossless encoding format such as FLAC.
19. iTunes is unable or extremely unresponsive when attempting to copy or move large numbers of files from the iTunes library to another location.
20. There is no ability to maintain multiple libraries. For example, iTunes is not smart enough to figure out you have a library of AIFF files on a FireWire hard drive, which plugs into your PowerBook at home, and an identical library in AAC format on the PowerBook, which would be used away from home.
21. iTunes does not support all or the most common and new CD burners. I just bought a new 52x FireWire burner. While Toast can see and use it without problems, iTunes blithely ignores it.
Itunes+ already DRM free.
if you use a Mp3 player with only a small amount of storage then i totally agree that what u want is to drag and drop but if u like to have your music organised and looky pretty so to speak, then itunes is fine.
So when i sit there on the bus or on the beach i can scroll through my album covers like i would do if i was at home looking through my cd's on the shelf.
plus conversion dont take long on modern pc's either so thats not a issue. If i remember correctly doesnt sonic stage require some kind of conversion too. ;)
Edit : Coiler nice bit of google work there but you'll find thats actually about 10years out of date :)
