I got a dell digital jukebox and i need to let out my frustration. it sucks so incredibly bad, the organization blows because the software is shit. i suggest no one EVER buy one because they are so awful. I just accidently deleted the entire library because nothing is clear and understandable. I'm returning it and buying an ipod, its the same amount of money and its 100x better by far. I'm writing this as a warning...never ever EVER buy this piece of crap.

i had an ipod before i got the dell because i thought the dell would be better because of the longer battery life. probably one of the worst decisions i have made. For adding notes and stuff like that, you need to transfer v-cards into the ipod drive. message me if you need help.

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex (or same sex if you prefer). Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.

to put files on it, first got to ipod options in itunes while its connected. click enable disc use. it will now show up under where your drives are in my computer. to uploard text and contacts, the text files have to be in txt. format (like in microsoft notepad) just drag and drop into the text file. the contacts, you make them in outlook, and same them aas a VCARD file in the contacts folder.

yeah, the batteries in alot of those are like the ones for digi cams. you have to drain um before charging. the ipods you can charge whenever. i wish apple would make an MP4 player, but they arent supposed to anytime soon.

What about the Neuros thing? Does anyone have that? It seems good, because you can play it through to anything else with a frequency. ie: a radio. It seems to be about the same size as a discman, but I've never seen them anywhere and would like to hold and see it instead of ordering it.

well, i'm going to stand against almost everything said so far......

i just got a dell DJ dirt cheap courtesy of the 'trade in a broke ipod program' where i conviently had found a broke ipod..... and i love the thing. yeah, it's not as well organised as the ipod, but it's close, and once you get used to it, it still plays music.

and about the FM transmitters...... idk about the integrated ones, but i bought an external one for the dell to hook it up to my car w/o wires, and it sounds pretty damned good. nobody that's heard it has been able to pick out the difference between a CD and the dell over wireless......

i guess it's just a matter of preference, but i like it. it works for me, and i paid a quarter of what a comparable ipod would have cost me, while still getting a brand-new, in the box player.

i had a sony md and loved it except for the software used. the software blew but it was useable...just annoying. they have a longer/better battery life in the cold than the ipod and are a little stronger than the ipod.

now i have an ipod and i love it. broke the first one falling on a jump. got a new one and a case for it for when i'm skiing. ipod's are INCREDIBLE

i loved my ipod until yesterday...it froze and i couldnt turn it off so i let the battery run out. now the battery dies after about an hour and it constantly freezes but only for a few seconds (at most a minute), but its fucking annoying. i just bought mine 3 weeks ago. im pretty pissed off right now so i am going to make apple give me a new one...they better cooperate.

oh, anyone have any advice as to what i should do?

marlin, i don;t know if this applies to the regular ipods, but i had the same problem with my mini freezing, i read the manual thingy and what you do to restart is it hold down the Menu button and the little center circular button until it restarts, on the mini the apple logo shows up...

My ipod rocks, i would never trade it. Apperently windows have been trying to put out so called ipod killers, but so far, theyve totally died flat down. Its really good for mac, im an all mac user. Mac is not only getting crazy amounts of cash, but better publicity for its other products, even though their commercials are great.
