Enjoying your iPod?

X-AWDriver · 12-29-2005, 02:04 PM

I noticed the iPod owners group went up a bit I was wondering if there were any complaints,likes,dislikes or delights?

Lovin' my black 30gb very much and have got about 1200 songs downloaded and have about another 4000 to go.

Now I gotta start converting my vids to the iPod.

iPod rules.
I like it as it is so small, and yet holds 30 GB.

Using it for mainly just walking for exercise, and a little video watching.

If you did not catch my thread yet, I detail how to convert vids for it.

Love my 30GB IPOD video. Just need to organize my music collection a little more logically.

My co-workers dig the car videos I bring to work on my IPOD.

bob200587 · 12-29-2005, 02:45 PM

I thought it was stupid that the back of it is chrome. My whole thing is just covered in scratches. I never got a case because they're gay. It has held up through some rough abuse..... I shoulda got a 60GB, I don't use it for photos, and I don't have the video one, but I like my color screen. I need some more gadgets to go with it, but the only thing I'd do over is get a 60 gig.

***Corey*** · 12-29-2005, 03:01 PM

My silicone case came with clear front and rear protective sheets that stick on protecting it so it will not scratch.

Hutchstaco on the forum here says he sells the protective cover sheets for it, look him up.

EWAYota · 12-29-2005, 03:10 PM

I love my iPod, except for the fact that it's only a 20gb. I bought it only having 14gb on my computer and was on a tight budget, today I have over 30gb's of music.
I wasn't going to get a cover for mine when I bought it, but I stumbled across the one I currently have and love it. Clear rubber/plastic cover. Keeps the iPod clean from scratches and is almost slip proof. And it was only 15.00 too.

iPod in cover

I'll upgrade the iPod to a 60 at some point, maybe by then they'll have a 120gb so I can go a while without fear of loading the 60 completly.

a little too late for me. Oh well, as long as it works, If I ever get ready to update it won't be worth much scratches or not.

JHupp · 12-29-2005, 04:20 PM

old 3rd gen 20gb here, thing kicks ass, pretty durable too, I use the iTrip with mine in my runner, sounds great, no complaints, just hate the head phones, which I never use

i do sell them and they work great, i know some of you want to stop scratchs from getting all over your ipod

tc · 12-29-2005, 06:03 PM

4GB Nano and I love it, although the balck shows scratches like crazy - should have got a case a lot sooner.

blown4runner96 · 12-29-2005, 07:10 PM

LMAO... I love my IPOD. I am dowloading songs right now for a road trip to Moab. This beats CDs and even Sirius radio...

HUTCHSTACO · 12-29-2005, 10:43 PM

you guy should get some protection before it gets out of control

**Tofer** · 12-29-2005, 11:13 PM

where? how much? i would rather support a fellow YT member then buy it at bestbuy or apple store.

Tim-in-TX · 12-30-2005, 01:42 AM

I say use the "Duck" Tape Mod! Cover you IPod w/black (or whatever color you choose) D/Tape and carefully cut out the access you need to the screen & menu wheel! You'll never have to worry about scratches again.

May also keep it from gitting stolen. They are gonna think it is broken piece of crap!

Also, with it covered, you can customize the look by drawing whatever you want on it with a Sharpie Marker!

X-AWDriver · 12-30-2005, 07:30 AM

I got a really nice Neoprene type case that is very protective and is snug to the iPod and I can't imagine not having a cover since they do scratch so easily.
I also got a better set of ear buds but mostly it's going to be used in the truck and I won't have to carry CDs with me anymore.

surf4runner · 12-30-2005, 07:57 AM

ipod beginner, barely outta the box. 30gb black
good thing i can download at work.
very cool so far

***Corey*** · 12-30-2005, 08:49 AM

Here is my case.
http://www.theistore.com/icandy/icandyvideo.html

Not the happiest with it, allthough it did come with clear film to protect the front and back as mentioned above.
The case is good for scratch resistance, but not if you drop it.

Will be looking into two others down the road.
1. http://thinkdifferentstore.com/produ...oducts_id/1532

2. http://thinkdifferentstore.com/produ...oducts_id/1579
Out of black right now.

3. This holds it all.
http://www.allabouttheaccessories.co...ROD&ProdID=418

This place has all kinds of cases, can keep you busy all day looking at the site.
http://www.ipodaccessories.com/

I think #1 above gives the most protection if it ever drops, but you have to open it up to watch a vid.
No biggy, I mainly keep mine in my shirt pocket and have it play one of my many "Power Walk" lists I put together.

Tage · 12-30-2005, 09:14 AM

I have a 20GB Ipod with about 1400 songs and the Ipod adapter so that it can play through my head unit. It was really easy to install and simple to use. I chose to hard wire instead of the Itrip....due to crowed air ways of a busy city.

4unner4life · 12-30-2005, 03:29 PM

Ive got the black 30gb with only about 1000 songs on it right now but i got a picture of almost everyones 4runner here

and some of my dirtbike videos. This thing is great.

X-AWDriver · 12-31-2005, 05:05 AM

Just got my hookup in the car and haven't even turned the radio on once. I also got the Belkin charger/amplifier piece and this is when having multiple power outlets up front is nice.

gapguy · 12-31-2005, 07:17 AM

I got a new 30gb Video for xmas. WAY cooler than the previous gen's I've had. I love it!

Psst. Install a socket behind the dash and fish that belkin wire up through the xfercase boot.

GodwinAustin · 12-31-2005, 07:39 AM

I love mine - just got it for Christmas - 30GB black, got about 11GB of music now. I prob wont add pics and movies and stuff cause I need the space for music....

Ipod rocks!

mehret · 12-31-2005, 10:15 AM

i wanna get an ipod really badly, but i really cant afford one now. plus, i have 70+ gb of music on my computer, so i definitely couldnt get one to fit all my music.

***Corey*** · 12-31-2005, 10:21 AM

Do you listen to all of that though?
You can always transfer all to the iTunes library, then just unheck mark the tunes you do not wanna put on the iPod, then fill it up with what you want.

If I ever get around to getting a new amp to replace my blown door speaker one in the rig, I will look into running the iPod through the stereo.
Sure beats buying a new head unit, as mine will not play raw MP3s, only ones I convert over to CD tracks and burn to disc, and I can then only fit about 17 at the most on a 700 MB disc.

ipod owners- holy crap microsoft is screwing apple

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

leave it to microsoft to do this.

APPLE'S IPOD PATENT
Computer firm Apple may have to pay Microsoft $10 for each iPod it sells after a huge licensing lapse.

Lawyers at Bill Gates' firm filed a patent for technology behind the hugely successful digital music player two months before Apple.

The US Patent Office has ruled that Microsoft has the right to charge competitors a licence fee for each iPod sold.

Furious, Apple has said it will appeal the decision but at the moment it looks as though the firm will be paying a high price for the success of its product.

The iPod was launched in November 2001 but Apple waited until July 2002 to file for a patent; Microsoft snuck in to license some of the technology the previous May.

David Kaefer, Microsoft's director of intellectual property licensing, said it was open to letting other firms patent its innovations.

He said: "In general, our policy is to allow others to license our patents so they can use our innovative methods in their products.

"Microsoft and Apple have previously licensed their respective patent portfolios to one another and we maintain a good working relationship with Apple."

The dispute comes days after Microsoft declared war on the iPod and pledged to come up with a series of rivals.

So far, 21 million iPods have been sold worldwide, 18 million in the last year alone.

21 million x 10 bucks a piece. Microsoft sure knows how to bank on doing absolutly nothing. Sucks to be apple right now.
