Re: Ipods


I know nothing about ipods except that Tom has a video one and Em has a pink one But what has crossed my mind reading through this thread is, if you are not on Broadband, wouldn't it take ages to download tracks onto your pc from the internet??

Re: Ipods


Regarding the speakers, Em has a hi fi in her bedroom that has an ipod port on it, so she can play her ipod through the hi-fi...

Re: Ipods


Listen - if I can do it anyone can!
And the little speakers you get to go with them are amazingly good.
That said, I use mine very rarely - plane journeys etc. I don't really like music (or speech - plenty of radio podcasts available) 'straight into my ears'.

Well I don't think you would need to have Broadband, you should still be able to download tracks on dial-up but I'm wondering if you don't have it how long it would take to download tracks. I should imagine it would take rather a long time

Re: Ipods


I know I'm late joining in, but I have to say that I have an iPod too and I love it!!!!!

It's great for holidays and travelling and going to the gym. Also I have an iTrip, which means that I can play it through the radio too (either in the car or at home on my stereo).

My ex also had some kind of gadget that meant he could plug it into the TV and listen to it through the TV speakers

I say "go for it"!!!

I only use iTunes for my music, which I know probably isn't the cheapest option, but it is the easiest and I'm downright lazy!!! lol

I have also uploaded all my CD's onto my laptop and then onto my iPod - so I have all those to listen to too.

It's great for audiobooks too Eileen!!!

Fran, I download stuff that takes a long time after dinner, when it's the wee small hours there and there's no one to chat to! Except the spiders! Not that I download much. I do Photobucket stuff after dinner also, as that is very slow, I much prefer the Catsey resizer/uploader, but sometimes the pics are too big, so am forced to use PB.
I found a good tutorial on how to use iPod last night; quite involved so I just bookmarked it to read today in leisure. Thank all for your helpful comments!
