Friend of mine at work is selling a brand new 60Gb video iPOD for £160. They seem to sell for about £220 in the shops. It seems his girlfriend bought it and then didnt want it.

But are these iPODs any good? I believe they have had bad press with regard to support, hardware failures etc. Should I buy a different MP3 player? The one offered has video capability and photo storage too.

Has anyone any experience?

Thanks

I've got a 2 year old 40GB iPod (can't be arsed to get out the box and check what generation iPod it is exactly, sorry). I know iPods get bad press, but I really like mine. You can get all kinds of extra gadgets from www.griffintechnology.com as well

They're okay but there are better MP3 players on the market. Having to use itunes is a pain. Creative & Sony are better IMO.

Prefer Creative Labs over iPods.....
Cheaper.
Better sound quality.
Open source.

Do you have to use itunes? Is there no way to port standard mp3s over from your pc?

Not that I know of but I'm sure someone out there has managed to hack the ipod.

You can import anything onto your IPod - Itunes will convert it. It'll hunt down any MP3 on your PC and convert it to the Itunes format if you want it to...

I love my Ipod it does what it says on the tin. Plays music.

Iam not an audiophile and couldnt tell difference between a 20,000$ systema and an 18,000$ system so Ipod as a portable music player sounds great.
I got some of those Bose headphones for airpolanes I cant believe the quality sometimes how clear and good it is with those ... the standard Ipod buds are ok for day t oday use.

Yes there are other music players, they may be better but frankly ... its a portable music device not a reference audio player. Get it - you'll rediscover music collection and browsing the Itunes store is a fun waste of a few hours finding new and old music to listen to....

not at this minute as I am not up on the UK prices and to be honest cannot be arsed at the moment
