We're so in love ....  Sent: 26 August 2008
Total MP3 virgin, looked at others such as Creative Zen but kept coming back to Apple. I think this Ipod is absolutely wonderful. Would definitely suggest you invest in a decent pair of earphones (I got the Sennheiser 500) as the ones supplied are cheap-looking, uncomfortable and the sound quality is poor. With a good pair of phones though - wow.
It's easy to use, fun, looks great and does the job better than I'd ever anticipated. I got it mainly because I was expiring of boredom at the gym; the problem now is that I don't want to come off the equipment because I'm enjoying the music so much. Consequently I've lost even more weight and none of my new clothes fit any more. Thanks for nothing, Apple.
Seriously, sound quality is great. Would also suggest you get a cover as the Ipod will scratch easily I guess. I bought a Belkin acrylic, which is a good, durable cover. My Ipod goes everywhere with me now, and we're planning to get married.

Although I have the most up-to-date version of iTunes on my Mac, what the iPod description doesn't tell you is that you need a certain version of Mac's OS X system in order to use the iPod. This important piece of information is buried on Mac's website and not in the product description here on Amazon or with the iPod itself. So when I plugged my iPod in, eager to begin downloading to it right away, I found I had to spend another couple of hours updating various other pieces of software first. Not what you want after spending £100+
In fact, the instructions that come with the nano are next to useless.
On the plus side, when you (finally) get it working it is very nice and is probably worth 4 stars - I just felt I had to knock one off for the frustration
Somewhat frustrating (iTunes)... Sent: 06 July 2008
I bought this for my daughter (11) as she was keen on it. Despite the 'glamour' of iTunes and Apple itself (and being PC literate), we find navigating transfers (music and movies) really quite frustrating, with required 'ejections' etc and songs not synching properly in an intuitive sense. It is surprisingly much less intuitive than I expected (-iRiver's Drag and Drop is SO much simpler and effective). After several days, we still find video transfers erratic and had to do manual transferring to get it onto the iPod (then we lost what was already synced, though warned somewhere). Moreover, I got Apple's "white screen of death" at the very beginning and had to reset the iPod to solve the defect (losing our first data). There is a measly manual with the packaging so you have to get onto the web to sort out your problems.
The much promoted iTunes Store (which seems to be much easier to access from within iTunes than our own iPod) goes through the purchase procedures before telling me that downloads are not possible for my country (Sri Lanka)... waste of time! It also asks for credit card details (though I did not purchase anything) which was unexpected; I only wanted to set up an account to try out the Store for my child without entering card data or having this as default in case she accidentally ordered something.
The hardware is definitely "sexy", and it is a neat player. But it is a pain that it can only be charged when your PC is switched on - we did not know that at purchase or installation. Battery power is also poor, a few hours on audio (many MP3 players do much better).
Overall, not impressed despite the lovely looks (and fragility) of this well known gadget. There does not appear to be any continuing defect as such on the machine; our frustration seems more on the software. I would prefer iRiver in most respects (which is also much more 'open' - less proprietory limitations - in what it reads and transfers), much as I would like to like this device.

I love my ipod. I use it every day. It got me through all my revision and i dont know how i lived without it. But this week it has stopped working on me and im fairly sure that this is the worst day of my life. Can anyone tell me how to fix my ipod??
