apple ipod's

how do people rate them just downloaded itunes to try and get a hang of it before i go any further buying one can't find any other mp3 player's with anywhere near the same storage capacity which is a shame cause i'd of been going for my tried and trusted sony product's currently looking at the 160gb classic though if anyone know's any other's with similar capacity (i have a ****load of cd's).

apple is the devil!

i know they are pure evil but nobody else does that kind of capacity mp3 player.

They're a good device, I like apple products but they're often priced a bit above comparable laptops/ mp3 players etc.
I've got a 5g ipod I think, it's still going strong.

i only ask as my cd player has finally given up the ghost and i spose i'll have to get one eventually i don't like change lol.

They're handy. I've got a gizmo that plugs into the CD changer port of my car stereo, so I can use my ipod on it. Having that big a range of music to listen to wherever I am is good.

yeah i can see the appeal i know the sound won't be as good as my cd player was but at least i can put everything on there and not need to haul around a pile of cd's.

The sound won't be bad, it depends what format you save the tracks in. I play my ipod through my stereo all the time and the sound is good.

it's set to aac i think sound's ok on the pc from what i can hear.

AAC is what I use too. Supposed to be better than mp3, but don't quote me on that.
