SoxFan1 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I need some help guys. I'm looking for a MP3 player that is between 5-20 GB and is campatable with Windows Media Player. I was considering getting a 5 Gb IPod Nano but I dont feel like buying every song I want to hear. I saw this one at Circuit City and it intrigued me. I'm trying to keep it under $200 but up to $250 is do-able. Any help guys and gals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 you do realize an ipod works with everything right? you don't need to "buy every song you want to hear". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I had a Dell one (actually I had two and neither worked), after a year I finally said f*** it, and shelled out the extra cash for an ipod. My friend that had an earlier model Zen did the same thing. Neither of us have regretted the ipod decision. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have the Dell DJ (15 GB older model), love it, though you'd probably have to order it online if you don't mind that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunes and the newest version of Quicktime come together. If you updated or downloaded Quicktime in the past year or so thats where you got it. My Ipod is awesome, i love it. I only use it for music, but thats all I need it for. Dont worry about having to buy songs you want on your Ipod. You can download them from whatever ****** you have, buy them at the Itunes store, or download your cds. The only thing you cannot do(unless you have the proper software like me....) is take music off of your ipod and put it on your computer. ******This post has been edited by the Soxtalk staff to remove objectionable material.

3E8 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I cannot believe you didn't know that. Lots of people also don't realize you can use the iPod hard drive to store any type of file that needs to be saved/transfered/whatever.

SoxFan1 Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 And yes, it was Quicktime that I recently downloaded so I guess the ITunes came with it. Thanks again for all your help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what you are talking about. Plug in your iPod, go to my computer, drag and drop files into the iPod hard drive. Useful for transferring movies from one computer to another, making a backup, whatev. Edited November 30, 2005 by 3E8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just take files off of your Ipod and transfer them onto your computer? Maybe we arent talking about the same thing, but my Ipod prevents me from taking anything and transferring it to my computer, hence the need for the program Copypod, which lets me "rip" files from my Ipod and transfer them to my computer.

Yep. I have a 3rd gen, and it can act as a portable hard drive for any type of file. I'm pretty sure you can do it with a 4th gen as well, that's what my roommate has and he does it too.
