 Best MP3 Player By Far, May 18, 2023
I was holding out on purchasing an apple iPod photo. I didn't want to give into the hype, i was waiting for the perfect mp3 player, but the bottom line is that there is none. I was either going to purchase this or a creative zen touch 40gb. I opted to go with the iPod photo. I'm not a supporter of mac whatsoever, but the iPod impressed me. 30gb is more than ample room for those musid hoarders like myself. Apple says 30 gb of music but 5gb itself is taken up already, due to the awesome programs such as games, contacts, calendars, etc. that apple pre-installed. I'll give my pros and cons below, but overall this is an awesome product, no mp3 player out there is a match. DON'T PURCHASE creative mp3 hd based mp3 players. The hd usually freezes up within 6 months of use even less and you have to send it back to creative for a hd repair, but the customer service is crap to say the least.
Pro:
- 3o gb of space plenty of room
- album art capabilities
- easy user interface in iPod as well as program supplied to transfer music. iTunes
Cons:
- although it shows album art the downfall of it is you have to manually upload those album arts. Typically it shows if u have purchased the dl through iTunes, but like me i download music from another source, there are already album art included with the music, but iTunes does not transfer the art into the iPod. You have to purchase a separte program such as iart to make it easier on yourself
- low sound. As compared to the creative i purchased the sound on the iPod is not impressive. You would think with the amount you're paying it would. I suggest getting better earphones which boosts the sound quality
Overall iPod photo 30gb is well worth the money

A Great Product But One Thing Lacking - Album Art Grabber, May 13, 2023
I own the 30 Gig iPod Photo. This is a fantastic player but I have one suggestion to improve it. Since you can attach Album art to songs in iTunes, then synch your iPod Photo to bring in the Album art, WHY DIDN'T APPLE PROVIDE SOFTWARE TO DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM ART? I searched the net for Album art grabber software and came a cross a program called eyeJamz (It does a lot more than grab Album art - eyejamz.com). This works with iTunes to download all your Album art and synch it to all your tracks in iTunes. This is the software Apple SHOULD have included with the iPod Photo. Other than that minor quible, I find the iPod Photo to be a great player and storage device. I don't store any music or Album art on my computer. It's all synched to my iPod Photo then deleted from my computer's hard drive. The sound is truely hifi. I also connect it to my home stereo/home theater music system with fantastic results. Highly recommended!!!

 Great, May 5, 2023
I got my 30 Gig iPod photo yesterday. I LOVE IT. Everyone at school today was jealous of because i have one. I had a 15 GB ipod before it was stolen, and this one is a little bit thicker and heaviver. But really, its so awesome i love it the album art and everything its great. The color screen is really good. get one

Thousands of Songs in Your Pocket! Does it get any better?, May 4, 2023
If you're like me, you see a new product like the iPod Photo and the techno-lust starts to kick in. The price of the new have-to-have gadget gives you pause, so you read online reviews and start to save your soda cans. Then the day comes. You shell out your hard-earned dollars, and you now have that cool gadget in your hands. Then after a few weeks or months, that had-to-have gadget sits on your desk collecting dust. All the fun was in the wanting, and the product never really lived up to the hype.
Well, let me be the first to tell you... This was not the case with the iPod Photo. I love this thing!
All Your Music - Everywhere You Go:
My entire CD collection fits on this thing with plenty of room to spare. Did I mention that this device is smaller than a deck of cards? No more lugging around a handful of CDs wishing that you remembered to grab that other CD on the way into work. Not to mention that with the iPod Photo I can grab the album art from somewhere like say ... Amazon.com, and it displays when I play a track from the CD. You can't do that with the standard iPods as far as I know. The battery life is great. After charging all night, I listen to music on my one hour commute into work, eight hours at work (some days), and then an hour on the way home again. Not even close to running out of power. The sound quality is great, and for headphone listening there's more than enough power to make your ears bleed ... this is a good thing in my opinion.
So if you've never owned an iPod before, what makes this thing so great?
Discover New Music:
The iTunes Store offers more than 1 million songs, some of which you may have never heard of for only 99 cents a song, and sometimes even for free. That's FREE as in Beer (and that's always a great thing).
Discover Podcasts:
What are podcast? Think of them as talk radio broadcasts that you can listen to whenever you want. There are podcasts on just about any topic you can think of: sports talk, political opinion, tech-geek news, movie and music reviews, and my favorite "The Dawn and Drew Show" (which defies definition ... think ADHD Seinfeld with an R rating).
Audio Books:
Listen to those books you've been meaning to read, but never have the time. One Minute Manager, Seven Habits, etc ...
Carry Your Contact List:
Now I've ditched my (dusty) PDA since my contact list was really the main reason I had to carry one. You can upload your entire contact list to your iPod, and phone numbers, email addresses, everything is right there with you.
Photos on your iPod:
Aside from the CD cover art, this is not a feature I've played with yet ... what can I say ... I have to sleep sometime.
My advice is buy the 60GB if you can afford it, but my 30GB is not even half full yet. Either way... Give in to your techno-lust and BUY ONE!

Befuddling, Apr 29, 2023
The iPod photo is without a qualm the most prevailing mp3 player on the bazaar. This apparatus is exceedingly astounding. Occasionally, I have thus had a intricate time figuring out how they essentially prepared such a device as grand as this. The sound quality is dazzling. The look is outstanding. The grip is exceptional. And if you're as near as rich as Nick Manos, the price is stupendous. Overall I bestow this item vast praise. Do yourself a favor and acquire one now!
