I heard somewhere that the bettery rans out after 1 year of usage and replacing it its more expensive than the player itself, dont know tho i dont own one...

It used to be like 300 dollars to replace the battery, but since this whole issue was brought up, they have lowered their price on replacing the battery, and their are DIY kits out there, if you feel safe opening up your IPod

Personally I think they are overpriced, go for something like the creative Jukebox one, or even the Dell Music Player I have seen as gotten excellant reviews, and has extremely good battery like, like 9 hours.

for 300 u can get their 20 GB one, with free wired remote and carrying case. (got a catalog the other day from them)

250 gets you a 15 GB player.

A friend a week ago was looking to buy an ipod and i told him about the battery issue and then he started looking at out types of mass music players. He founhd one that was cheaper than the ipod's 15gb model and came with 20gb. It would cost only £10.50 to replace the battery after 18 months and looked pritty good. It was also smaller than an ipod.

i'll asked him for the model and make when he comes on msn.

i looked at dells mp3 player and on cnet.com it said this.. The bad: No FM tuner or line-in recording; albums don't play in order. does that mean all my songs will be all over the place and not in order by album??

dose any1 know the actual $$ it cost to get a battery for the ipod?

[3223]

its really nice but the price isnt for me (i did the conversion on their site):

229.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 411.262 USD United States Dollars
1 GBP = 1.79590 USD 1 USD = 0.556823 GBP

it means all of your songs will play in alphbetacal order so you will have to make playlists for each album or artist.
