don't get an iPod unless you A. just really really love the interface B. are just dead set on having it for some other reason.

[romiette]

what do u suggest as a substitute?

[interimlover]

I love my Rio Carbon, but it's designed to compete with the iPod mini which has 4 gigs (this one has 5 and more than twice as long of battery life). Oh and it's cheaper too :)

If you need something with more storage, this iRiver one is quite pimp.

I give it to Apple in that they have the best marketing, online music store, and user interface... but they're totally wack in every other respect.

i'll have to do some research! thanks for the input =)

[interimlover]

no sweat, also check out the H10 from iRiver if you think 5 gigs will be enough for you.

how are they 'totally wack'???

I've listened to Rio's, iRiver's etc, and I think the iPod has a better sound quality... granted its hard to judge with such small earbuds, and its dependant on the file as well...

but im curious as to your reasoning?

[interimlover]

easy... battery life, hard drive space, price, and sound quality.

The latter is totally subjective, but with the first three, Mac doesn't have a leg to stand on.

the ipod is much more scene though.

[interimlover]

exactly.
