ipod - worth it? (3 Viewers)

[nicko88]

Does anybody know whether it's worth getting the iPhoto as opposed to the iPod? I'm not sure. Which one should I get? And what's the price range?

Hows the battery ?

Good so far, advertised as 12 hours so its the same as 4th gen mini's

I hate iPod earphones so i'm using my $99 sony ones

The downside to the shuffle is that its so small and light, you get paranoid if you've lost it

4th gen mini's ?

1st gen Mini's = 4th gen ipods

And the one on the mini is 8 hours :S

So you're doing well if its going 12

lol, yeah that's what I meant (I'm not too good in the ipod lingo)

I've been using it for about an hour everyday since I got it last week and still haven't had to charge it.

 

[cro_angel]

you can buy the ipod min from office works for $250..VERY CHEAP~!~
ONLY WHILE STOCKS LAST, sale starts this week

yeh but if its the old one with the crap battery life then its probably worthwhile going to the ipod shop and getting it for $270 (with student discount)

 

[noel_gallagher]

Im thinking of getting a shuffle, they're only like $129, and that discount, can any student get it? is it only at harvey norman?

I've heard good things about the shuffle, i just want something to take around uni, and discmans are so last year, lol./

Oh ok, yeah I'm a uni student and have an apple shop like 10 mins away from me. Sick.

But problem remains, iPod shuffles only take mp3 files, not wma, so all teh songs I've ripped onto my computer, I can't use them, and I don't download. So is there any way to change the format of wma's to mp3?

 

[cro_angel]

with itunes, as soon as u drop the stuff onto ur ipod it auto converts the wma's so ipod can play em

a

wow i so didnt know that.. i was just about to ask
is it the same with .ogg files too?

 

[sladehk]

Hmmm... what are are *.ogg files?

 

[MedNez]

wow i so didnt know that.. i was just about to ask

No, it doesn't. Files with the OGG extension are encoded with the Ogg Vorbis codec, moreso found as the audio codec on movies rather than music files, which is why it is not that widely supported by mp3 players.
