| reply to Steely Re: Am I the only one not thrilled with my iPod?
Have you ever been to »www.ilounge.com ?(I know you posted about the "workarounds" and 3rd party apps) Almost all your "issues" have been covered there. You are not forced to use iTunes, there are at least half a dozen different programs that you can use, including MusicMatch that tke711 says he uses. Also, Apple doesn't care what audio format you use, the iPod doesn't convert MP3s to AAC, they keep the form they were transferred to. Moving songs off the iPod is easy, you can either copy the directory right off the iPod to later transfer back on, or use one of the many 3rd part apps. None of the third party programs are workarounds.
Also note, the new Dell Junkbox now doesn't have a removable battery, so it seems as if the other manufacturers are now following Apple even more. I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't the last to do it. |
