We should combine this with the spider thread.

Personally I can think of more kool ways to kill I-pods than spiders.

I just bought a iPod nano for bike riding and found out that it costs $60 to replace the propriatary rechargable battery and you have to send the thing back to Apple.  What a rip.  I'd rather use AA alkalines.  Next time I'm getting one of the other MP3 players.

You are joking Mr. MP3, right? Oh well, of course you are not.

Sad man.

BTW, can you be more specific? What sensibility did I offend?

Best mini MP3 player I have used is a Creative Zen Nano. A little problem getting it to work with my AMD/nVidia based system but it works great now.

I got each of my kids an iPod Nano for Christmas. I tried to talk them out of it, but they were dead set on an iPod.

IMHO, the DRM is far too restrictive. The software is unfriendly. But... the iPod has one of the best user interfaces going. Too bad the rest of the supporting software sucks.

I want an MP3 player that is treated by the PC just like any other flash memory device. For that... gotta go with Creative Zen.
