I'm with the pill guy.

FedEx just delivered my black nano -it's engraved and in purr-fect condition. I've lived my entire life without a nano, and if I had to wait a week or so to get a scratched one…

At least it still works....

Yeah, mine got some kind of blotted thing on the front after a day's use. Looks like I dropped some acid on it and it was burned. I'm not sure it came like this, so I'm hesitant …

Must suck to be you. Go into a store and DOA the unit. They'll take it back. Now put a sock in it you big weenie.

Eh. Mine is scratched a bit already from being in my pocket in active use. I figure a Nano is more useful if I actually use it and not put it on a crystal pedestal to stare at.

i'll give you 50 bucks for your scratched nano.

sorry to hear about your scratched nano, at least you still have yours. Mine was supposed to be delivered yesterday and now i don't and even the f**king UPS have no clue. what ca…

The click-wheel iPod has the buttons (Play, Menu, Forward, Reverse) on the wheel itself. The previous versions (non click-wheel) have a wheel and then they have 4 buttons either a…

clickwheel ipods have longer battery life as well as being considered the 4th generation ipod, where as the non click wheel ipod is considered the 3rd gen. 4th gen ipods can also …

The benefit to a clickable wheel is that you can't accidentally brush a button and turn it on. I turn my 3G iPod on all the time unless I use the "hold" switch. On my new nano, I…

And it's also a pain in the ass because if you try to shove your hand in your pocket to pause it or skip to the next song, it's practically impossible not to change the volume in t…

iTunes doesn't like to play well with those apps and you stand a big chance of them not working from version to version or doing nasty things like stripping ID3 coding and merging …

i beg to differ...senuti has done great by me. never screwed up itunes, never screwed up my id3 coding and never merged songs...and ive been using it for months now. not to say t…

If you beg to differ, why ask? I gave my opinion, take it or leave it. My music isn't worth the risk of losing (if you lose your iPod?), so I keep a copy on an external and eve…

i think this is a good question. if i have music i own, i want to be able to copy it off my ipod back to my hard drive. it's not that fun owning a several macs with the ipods lame …

dont get testy now randman...it's just that i dont carry my external around with me all the time. ill have most if not all my music backed up soon anyway. i just want a way to do…

What I did before I got a mini for the wife (I keep the music on it now but still have a backup on an external) is kept my music (about 47GB) on an external and manually managed th…

podutil...ill look into that and maybe give it a go, thanks for the tip randman.

What about backing up data to my iPod (i know another subject, but maybe you guys know about that) I've seen iPodbackup, but it's not convient enough. I guess I want something, wh…

Apple Lossless will cut the uncompressed song roughly in half. As the name says, it's totally lossless.

problem is a lot of my songs are mp3 or aac at 320 kbps resulting in a 4 min song at 8MB a file. i'd like to drop them to about 128 when copying over the the ipod. is this at all p…
