IPOD pros and cons

[crowley_67]

i love my 20 GB IPOD.It has my whole cd collection and then some in it.Death Metal,Thrash,Blues,Shredder Stuff etc.Its a awesome little peice of technology.Create my own playlists in any order etc.But last couple of times i went jogging,it seems to freeze.At first just once.Now maybe two or three times during my jog.Usually when im running,then have to stop,check it,sometimes reboot it,all while its blistering hot on the asphalt,messing up my whole momentum.Maybe its me but my battery does not last 10 hrs either like the box says it should maybe 4-5 hrs tops.6 pushing it.Maybe i should stay home,eat pizza and burgers,dont exercise,leave it hooked to my computer and not worry about it.Im getting a beer....

Re: IPOD pros and cons

I have one as well. It has a 20 min skip delay, but when that gets used that's when it may freeze up and such. I wouldn't suggest running with it. If it were me I would just get a shuffle for working out. It's flash player so no moving parts to mess up while working out.

Re: IPOD pros and cons

I wasnt too sure how it worked but with no moving parts,i figured it would be perfect for jogging.i wonder if it would help if i got a armband/case for it.damn technology....

check your battery on the apple site for recalls. They've had a ton of problems with batterys and have been issuing recalls and replacments for certain models. Maybe a shot.

Apparently you're not supposed to be moving around vigorously with it. It IS a little computer after all.

I still need to find a tiny MP3 player that holds a crapload of songs while running two AA batteries and has no moving parts. So far, nothing.

Re: IPOD pros and cons

The Shuffle is close, but I need a little display on it so I can navigate the playlist, and I'm guessing it also runs on its internal rechargeable battery. I'm used to my MP3/CD player that I've had for three years now but what I don't like about it now are the bulky size and the fact that it's an older model so it eats batteries like a starving fat kid at McDonald's.

Re: IPOD pros and cons

someone needs to develope a mp3 player in the form of heaphones.I dont think it would get bounced or jarred too much...

i dunno man, that's kinda what the mini was made for. i can shake the thing like a newborn foster child, and it works just fine.

Re: IPOD pros and cons

Yeah my 40 has 6 hours battery time and does lock up... The Mini or the shuffle seems a better way to go
