To all iPod owners

Why is is that you own an iPod? Is it because everybody else owns them? Are they only MP3 player you know? You genuinely think they are the best MP3 players or for any other reason.

I just want to know out of curiosity because I don't own an iPod- I own a Zen Micro soon to be a Zen X-fi because I thought that Zen players had better features, more choice for downloading music and were better value for money (I got my 6GB Zen Micro for £140 in 2005, £20 cheaper than a 6GB iPod Mini at the time.) iPods are not always the best solution, so how come you own one?

I don't like the iPod.

Why?

No removable storage.

Any MP3 player with removable storage is better for me. Also, other MP3 players such as Sony's Walkman have a customizable graphic equalizer and a bit rate upscalar that enhances the quality of your sound files.

it's awesome

it can hold lots of music and movies and is really cool!!!!!

they look cool, a lot of mods have been written for them, they are easy to use.

I own a Sony because I think Sony's walkmans have more sound options and they look better imo.

and that thing was a brick of durabilityHybridPhoenix

I was also very impressed with the headphones - usually headphones last a couple of months (even though I'd fork out 15 quid on them) whereas my iPod headphones lasted a year and that's only cause I stood on them twice. My left ear can't hold earbud headphones so I always had to faff about getting other styles but the iPod earbud ones fit fine :)

Slim, light, good-looking and easy to use.

No, I am talking about removable storage from the device itself. This way, your MP3 player is basically future proof. You can continue to upgrade your storage without spending money on a new unit.Rikusaki

I personaly own a Zune 120GB. never touched an ipod. but from what i've heared, Zune is so much better, its just that it never got the same kind of sucsess as the Ipoddarkspineslayer

I would never buy an Ipod or anything Apple because I think they're overpriced. And I hate Apple anyway.

Because iPods were the most widely known, I suppose. I didn't actually think about it at all, I wanted an MP3 player, the iPod looked decent, and I haven't had anyproblems with it since, so if I broke it or something I would probably get an iPod again.

It's easy to use. I used to use a Creative Zen:Vision M, and it was cool and all, but the program that it used to put music on it was crap.

You mean like an SD Card slot like Zen and Cowon players have right?

I wanted an mp3 player with a lot of space, so I got a 120GB Ipod. It was the only thing that had that much memory and still sold for a decent price. It's not got as good sound as my Walkman, but overall, I'd say its better.

In all honesty I bought one when they first came around because I wanted to say I had an iPod. I had a regular little mp3 player before that so when I got the ipod I was like WOW!! I've stuck with the brand ever since :)

If you are referring to being able to store files on the player and retrieve on another computer...you can do that with an iPod. You just have to 'Enable Disk Use', then you can navigate to it and retrieve files. This is on Windows...can't speak for Macs.FragStains

No I got my iPod because I heard this thing about being able to listen to college lectures off of it. So I got one, needless to say I didn't use it for that! But it's about the music selection that makes your iPod unique.

It seems that some people hate iTunes, but others find it easy to use and love it. Just shows you how different people think.

I got mind for free. Thats why I have one.
