Cons: Minor problems
I have had my Apple 40GB iPod since September, and it has been overall doing well. Anyone with more than a few GB's of music files should buy this- it's the ultimate music player for the average music buff.
I only have a few minor gripes. For one, I would like to see a feature that shuffles the songs in one playlist rather than on the entire player. I share the iPod with someone with different musical tastes than me, and when I want to shuffle my songs I find myself pushing the Skip button every other track. On iTunes, you can shuffle a single playlist,however. Also, once I let the battery completely drain on a long trip, and I had to reset the iPod to get it to work again.
Another note-try not to put the same song on more than a few playlists. When you have one song on say, five PL's, iPod actually saves that song onto its hard drive five times! When I first got my iPod, I already had iTunes set up with a whole bunch of playlists. I had approximately 4.5 GB of music on my PC. When I loaded the music onto iPod, it said that 17GB had been used already. I had to completely restore my iPod (wipe it clean), get rid of most of my PL's, and try again. That time, it actually used the right amount of space.
There are also a lot of features about iPod I really like. The ratings system, combined with the SmartPlayist feature, lets me create a playlist of the music I enjoy listening to most. The Click wheel was a shock when I opened the box, but now I wouldn't have an mp3 player without one. It is just the right shape, size, and texture to browse thousands of songs without tiring your hand or thumb. You wouldn't believe how naturally it fits in your palm. The backlight eats up battery life, but it automatically shuts off after 20 idle seconds if you tell it to, and it is so handy to have there.
There's not much else to say about this little piece of hardware. It's an mp3 player, plain, simple, and reliable.
Peace out! ...
