Yea, that video on ermac.org about the Irreplaceable Ipod battery only lasting 18 months was true, but like ^Freezy said, that problem has been fixed for hte newer models. Ipods are the way to go, so sweet, if you dont want to dish out as much cash, get your hands on a Mini Ipod, which rock too and still hold plenty of music.

Take it from everyone, there's no doubt that the iPod is the sweetest mp3 player out there, they're so easy to use, and really quick on file transfer and on board song navigation. They're pretty pricey, but with everything it won't last forever, but in the mean time the iPod mini is a great option.

i have the new ipod mini, it is like a pain in the ass to set up and get to work, and like when i first got it, it would just turn off like 'shut down' and you would have to 'reboot' it to get to work it sucked. and i had to spend 4 hours on the phone trying to figure out how to upload cd's to it. it fucking sucked, and now i have this thing where nyou can have your ipod play through your radio, but like when your driving it becomes really fuzzy and doesn't work, it fuckin sucks
And it makes me see, every puff that I breathe, potent herbs and leaves could ease the world . . .

There's the good and the bad...

The battery hasn't failed on anyone I know's yet, if that's good enough for you, so that's about 25 iPods there, and mine hasn't so far. I'm not too worried about it.

^^a hundred bucks...try $250 for the mini and a cool $300 for the 15GB ipod.....definitely an investment and definitely worth it...the new ipods only improve upon the last generation so i'm sure we have less to worry about than before...i hear the minis are pretty rad too but i haven't gotten to use one...and as for dell, i haven't used one of those either cuz all i see are ipods and that's what i have...i've heard good things though...it really comes down to preference in a lot of these cases but i have to agree with a lot of you guys and strongly back ipod, you really can't go wrong

I have the first generation iPod, had it for about a year. It's still working fine. I just need to get another that can store more songs. I have like ten days worth of songs on it, and all the space is used.

Go with the iPod, iTunes is so easy to use.

***********************************
Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

The ipod battery will wear out after about 400 recharges. It has to do with the type of compound in the battery. It is funny because the warrenty is only for a year on the battery and so right after that first year the battery will stop recharging. they havn't fixed it. however u can fix it urself by buying a new battery online from some places.

and 'wear out' means the full charge will be less than a brand new battery, not that it won't hold any charge at all.
