Well my friends at D&P guess who got jipped?

[FockerTheLopper]

I bought an Ipod nano and it can hold about 40 songs... Not drum related but umm I have tool and opeth on there and they have good drummers FUSTY WALRUS APPLE AND IPODS!

[Futuro]

Try harder next time.

[ian1988]

Err..try typing in English. Nano's can hold around 200-400 songs of the highest quality bit rate mp3 available...whats the hell you on about?

[FockerTheLopper]

[Bryan Blakey]

:lol: send it back, it's defective if it only holds that little when it's empty.

Or get a 30gb video ipod. That holds plenty of songs.

[moogoogaipan]

The only possible way that you could only have 20 songs on there is if you have the songs in CD format. Songs in CD format are usually 60-80 megs... that the only way I can think to explain it, but I wouldn't have any earthly idea how you managed to get cd audio onto an ipod

[ian1988]

He's a tech noob?

[Senseless Apprentice]

You can try looking for a wav to mp3 converter, and just convert all of your music. Try download.com and look for "Free Mp3 Converter". That is the title of the program, and it is a pretty easy one to use.

[ian1988]

I freekin tunes changes it to ACC for you...lol and thats freekin noob software as it is.

your hatred of apple is completely unfounded, you sir are a fool.

Hey threadstarter, ever think about returning it! Hey that could work!

Only if its in windows media format. Besides, AAC is better as it gives you better quality in the same package.

Yeah, I think I posted I'm going to return it, but if I didn't I never had a chance, I just got my iTunes working earlier on today and I was out until the computer store(it fixes electronics) was closed so I never had a chance to go see what was wrong with it.

Macintosh is out of date, sucky-***, bull****.
I have a compaq laptop which retails for $1,700
specs are
3.4 ghz AMD athlon 64 processor
ATI Radeon 256 200M graphics card
Widescreen HD 15.4" monitor
and of course Windows XP (a wonderful OS even if it does fail sometimes)

Apple desktop with these specs.
1.7 ghz bull**** processor
128 crappy graphics card
without monitor
and of course, it's apple, so only one available and horrible stupid OS.
retails for about $2,300

OK... same store, same day, no joke. CompUSA it was, and I was appalled.
This further's my hate of Apple, because they think that they can get away with just being trendy.
The only reason they stay in business is because of their grants and deals with school systems and certain businesses.

Here's something to mull around in the ole noggin.
When a PC monitor fails, it's usually the monitor. Just replace it...
but...
When an Apple monitor fails, it usually because of the system. Your ****ed.

So.... I validated my point. Please feel free to present evidence of the opposite.

[Massik Kretal]

The Apple proccesors are stronger than PC's so they have a lower number.

[DuckinFutch]

hey, you don't have to buy your music from the Itunes store do you?

Like, if you have music in Itunes, it can just be loaded on to your Ipod, right, even if you got it through "other" means...

[moogoogaipan]

The Apple proccesors are stronger than PC's so they have a lower number.

That's incorrect. The Apple processors don't have a lower number because they are stronger... It's because they are dual. Two processors running in tandem. But Intel Hyperthread technology surpasses that by running a 3.4 ghz processor that acts like a dual processor.


Apples were designed for applications like Photoshop and for doing other various picture editting.
When PCs surpassed them with the technology to do more advanced 3d work:
i.e. 3D Studio Max, Maya, and the other high end rendering software, They took control. If you can edit 3d, then obviously 2d becomes much easier to edit.
Once PC took control of that market, Apple lost everything going for them.
If an Apple is taking 2 hours to render something, the PC has done it in 1 hour and 10 minutes. Time is money... this is researched fact

Plus, this is just me being picky, but their stupid interface and mouse is to damn clunky.

Do you have messy bowl-shaped black hair and wear lots of hoodies with your pants halfway down your ***?

[Maggot Dream]

So, you hate Apple, yet you bought an Ipod?

This is karma for buying an Ipod. Everyone's so obsessed with them because they look all ultra-modern, yet they don't realize that they're paying too much for a lousy player. Go with Creative, they have some great stuff. I have a Creative Zen Touch, and it's great.

[moogoogaipan]

mp3 players are inherently flawed because of the damn hard-drive.
Right now, iPods nano are the only marketed player with a flash drive.

I had a Jukebox Creative Labs Zen Xtra, but its harddrive ****ed up one morning and I hadn't done anything at all other than pick it up.

Then the following school year, I had to get an iPod for school curriculum (I dont' know why) and it's done me good for a year, but I don't support apple in the least. all my iPod accessories are made by offbrand companies.

[nametaken]

I hate to break it to you but the ipods are again and again badass mp3 players. The new nano is the first to have such monstrous flash based memory, and look so damn good.

As well as having great interfaces(now trying to be copied), sound quality,so many accesories, and so much support in car/home audio. Now price wise, hey, thats where you decide what best fits your needs, but dont knock the ipod, it owns the portable mp3 market. Probably the biggest complaint that i hear from ipods is the ****ty itunes, but then again there is 3rd party software available(which can be aquired as easily as the music your stuffing into the players themeselves).

[Everything_and_Nothing_3:15]

The only other advantage to buying a mac would be that they don't have as many viruses or no viruses at all going around them, while there are tons of viruses cirrculating though regular pc's over the internet or though e-mail.

[The Ska Man]

Its defective, because Ipods, well.......they own. So does (mostly) everything Apple makes.

[[Fonya]]

hey, you don't have to buy your music from the Itunes store do you?

Yes...I have 1500 songs on mine that I didnt get from itunes.

[officer doofy]

I bought an Ipod nano and it can hold about 40 songs... Not drum related but umm I have tool and opeth on there and they have good drummers FUSTY WALRUS APPLE AND IPODS!
mines sitting next to me as we speak, and its holding 504 songs, and not entirely full yet.

[RushHourSoul]

haha, apple owned you !

seriously though, take it back. They should be holding far more than that, unless your an idiot and have done something extremely stupid..

[Drum Monkey]

If I were to purchase an Ipod (any kind really) would it be best to download songs or transfer directly from my CDs??? (which requires less space)

They would take the same amount of space if they are the same song and format(which they probably would be).

ok thanks...

I read somewhere in the thread that CD songs take up more space...

How many times have you heard of an Apple moniter failing?

Also, what are the models of these two comps you compared?

[Half Life]

I just got one of the newest iPods, a black 60 gig that can play videos, photo, and music, and mine works great for me. I know quite a few different people that own ipods from earlier generations, and a friend of mine just recently got a nano, and all of their's have worked great for them. The only downside I can see to the iPods is the lithium battery, which will eventually die out after so many charges/uses. Other than that I think they're great but if you want to hate Apple and their products go ahead. I won't hold a grudge.

[moogoogaipan]

the models I was comparing were that stupid as G5 and a regular Compaq Presario.
There's also so many things that Apple does that just infuriates me.

for example...
all the music on iTunes is designed to only work on players in the iPod family... what the **** were they thinking. My friend used iTunes and we were gonna use some music to soundtrack our work and nothing recognizes the mp4 format that apple uses.
They are just like that goddamn Matroska. They try and take over the market by making their product extremely exclusionary so that you have to look everywhere to find the right thing to make their product work for you.
It's ridiculous... these companies can suck a penis... stick to a standard because all these other companies manage to get along fine with it... apple is a cult, just go read about it. PC is so free and open... you can do what you want... even install different OS, but mac is like a close minded society of vampires trying to suck every last pennie out of you by overpricing all of their trendy products which aren't really that trendy.

[Drum Monkey]

^I use my iPod with my family's DELL computer and it works great. I agree though with Mac sucking tremendously though. The experience I've had with them is very unsatisfying.

[yourstruly]

haha, i bought my ipod because it fits all my music in it and plays that music in my ears. No more, no less.

[officer doofy]

all the music on iTunes is designed to only work on players in the iPod family... what the **** were they thinking.
maybe they were thinking that if someone has itunes, it's because they have a player in the iPod family for it to work with, and if they don't then they can get Napster or some other music download program just as easily. Not to mention if you were looking at the business aspects it could only benefit them.

If you like apple, you like apple.
I have an iPod, but I just thing it's overpriced

it's the blind leading the blind:amaze:

[Mista Bob]

iPod's are pathetic. I got an iPod video awhile ago (returned my iRiver I got earlier for it... I regret doing that). Returned it after a few days (I was getting on average 5hours battery life when fully charged... and I wasint watching videos..and imagine, it would get worse than that).
I dont get how they are so popular.
But I guess if you like crap battery life that gets worse and worse. And will eventually in a matter of months completely die on you (not to mention the things are so overpriced). .... But hey, whatever floats your boat.

[DuckinFutch]

I agree that most apple products suck ***, I would never buy a comp...

And I would agree that Ipods are over priced, but I haven't really seen anything that can really compete with it so far...

the zens are far more expensive and don't hold as much...

If anyone has any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it, but right now the Ipod is my top choice

[ian1988]

Do you have messy bowl-shaped black hair and wear lots of hoodies with your pants halfway down your ***?

Only thing thats correct about me in that sentence is that my hair is black seeing I am an Oriental. I dont own a single hoodie or oversized pair of jeans. I hate retards like them who try to act all gangster :)

Its all about the image. Everyone wants them so that they can look cool. I;d rather stick with sony for their battery life and Extremely good sound quality. By far the best audio quality ive herd among the big name mp3 brands. Ipod Earphones are probably the most uncomfortable pieces of crap that have ever entered my earholes...and they sound like a cheap 20$ player you get from asian markets.

[Drum Monkey]

Is there any othe mp3 player that can hold as many songs as the iPod though?

I have quite a collection of CDs and if I were to buy and mp3 I would want one that can hold ALL of my songs...

-DM

[RushHourSoul]

I've had my Ipod for almost a year now, and its okay. I don't use it a great deal though, only when I play drums to it. I can't stand listening to music through those tiny earbuds anymore, sounds so tinny. I do however HATE Itunes and the way it has to have .mp4 or whatever, has to convert all my .wma files! Stupid Apple.
