iPod Overrated?

[Rip The Jacker]

I bought an iPod, spent 2 hours trying to get it to work, researched online to find a ton of people with the same problem, returned it and got my money back.

Well there's the answer to that question.

On the plus side, you have an idea what not to go for in an MP3 player - So have a look online at what other players people are recommending

GET AN IRIVER its an alternative to ipod but way better it holds music videos pictures all

I love my iPod. The battery is rather easy to replace if you take your time and be careful. There are also many third party software plugins that allow some-what drag and drop capability.

I prefer the Creative Zen.

-Easy to use.
-Stylish.
-Excellent sized HDD's.
-Decent priced.
-Excellent Battery Life.

I've got the 30G Creative Zen. £70 cheaper than a 20G ipod, works a treat, good battery life, removable battery so you can get a spare, works with wav and various other formats.

just orderd my gmini xs200 man it is so sweet. Why on earth you guys lug around an ipod or a zen is beyond me, i have 20 gigs and only a few 5-6 gig hard drive mp3 players weigh less then mine. Look at it, i think you will be thourghly inmpresse i got it at provantage for 215 before a 15 rebate.

That is quite a slinky looking player. But I'll carry on weight training with my Zen, I guess.

I think people get an Ipod because 'their friends' have Ipods and imo the Ipod looks much better then the other MP3 players

Creative Zen looks ok, but I don't want one which such a 'large' screen. it looks like an PSP

Creative Jukebox seems as good as an Ipod (or better) but I dunno how much those costs

My Gfriend bought an ipod a while back, she has used as many times as i have fingers on hand - and no her cool factor has not gone up - infact for me it has gone down. Sheep?

but...
I reaaaaalllllyy appreciate the "usb/firewire" connection that comes with it - i use it daily
