The iPod Thread

[DarthBrady]

Well, What this thread is about, is obvious. :p

I bought a new Apple iPod Nano 4GB (2nd Gen) today. And I gotta say, Apple has made a pretty sweet little gadget when they made the iPod Nano, So far I like it a lot. (although I dont really care for itunes yet)

This is the first Apple Product I have had since like 1989 (For Real, No joke.) So Its easy to say I am an iPod nOOb ;)

So, Does anybody else own or use an iPod? What should I know? Got any tips for me? Hook it up! :D


So, Out with it! Share your knowledge, I know somebody knows a trick or two....

[pizzaman]

Well I know it trick on how you can use it as a flash drive. Just make a rar file with all the stuff you want to move, and name it Filename.mp3, then put it on your iPod. When you go to the other computer, just rename the file Filename.rar, and extract. ;)

oh yeah, I have heard of that.

But the new Nano I got automatically works as a flash drive with windows xp.
In its manual, it says it can be used as a bootable flash drive too. But I have nt tried it because as of now I dont have a use for it.

I am debating whether or not to attempt to install ipodLinux on it. I dont want to void my warranty.

[Klendathu]

I have a 4gb Nano.
The only advise I have for you would be to invest in a case for it. They are very is to scartch up.

It's easy to use. So theres not much to add.
I would and did, set the backlight to a few seconds, and turned the annoying beeps off.

[Fierce Deity]

iTunes sucks. A lot. It tries to make itself start when your PC does, so you have to do that msconfig thing to make it not do that. It also tries to load all music and sound files you have onto your iPod, and it likes to make itself the default player for crap. I hate that damned program.

Otherwise though, the only trouble I had were the tabs. Like, if you want to upload a picture, you have to change the tab instead of just pushing file import, you go into the pictures tab, which shouldn't have anything to do with the file menu, but it does, then hit file > import, or whatever it is.... Also, you can't select multiple files when importing, but you can import folders.

i strongly agree with all of this, get a very nice case

huh? there's a way to change all of that.

it never made itself start for me, if you don'ty want it to load all the songs onto your iPod you go to the preferences, iPod menu, i think. i im not sure abt the pics

The part that bothers me is that it does all that by default, and it demands a lot of resources. Another thing is, if you plug your iPod in to charge, iTunes opens itself. It's just sorta proprietary I think, and I don't like it.

[jambog]

I love my iPod. I really like iTunes too, once you get it from loading at windows startup and being your default player, its a nice little program to organize your music.

Does anybody know about putting other games on the iPod nano? It come with four like a brick breaking game etc but I heard there is a way to put games like a homebrew pac-man game and stuff, but I have yet to figure out how, somebody just told me you could.

[Klendathu]

iTunes has never started up when I boot my cpu.
iTunes does autostart when your plug your iPod in via usb.

iTunes has never attempted to load all my music on to my iPod.
iTunes has never even asked to make itself the default player.

The only anoyence i've noticed is, if iTunes is running and I for instance put in a media disk(even if its running in the background) iTunes will then ask me what I want to do with said disk.

[DarthBrady]

Yes, I love my iPod, too! :D

It seems you guys have really got a discussion going on about all the features between iTunes and the iPod. From what I have read, most all those features can be enabled/disabled in iTunes. By the way, I dont like iTunes, I think it is evil, but the software works, and so far I have yet to find any bugs, so at least it works as it should, I must say I am impressed that Apple is finally writing stable software.

And to answer your questions about the games, from what I have been told, the games such as pac-man, ect.; they do exist, but only for ipod video, Not the Nano. :(

But, if you have the balls to install iPodLinux, you can play iDOOM on the Nano!

[DarthBrady]

I agree with you all, it would be a nice idea to get a good case for my Nano.

Here is my problem.

I have the new 2nd Generation Nano (4GB), and as you may already know, is shape is slightly different than the original iPod Nano. So all those coll form-fitting hard cases they sell for the Nano at my local store, fit the old nano, but not the new nano! (the old nano has rounded edges, and the new does not, the shape is slighty different.)

And I dont want some cheesy 3rd party universal case, I'd really like the apple "tubes" they have, but at my local store they only fit the old nano, and i cant find any on apple's website, either.

Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

[Klendathu]

I would suggest getting a leather case.
Mine is leather with a pass for the headphones and the hold button. The only time I need to open the case is to use the usb cable. Its a thrid party brand by Rolfs.

Heres an eBay link (http://cgi.ebay.com/MINI-IPOD-MP3-BLACK-LEATHER-CASE-ROLFS-NEW-IN-PACKGE_W0QQitemZ180042070181QQihZ008QQcategoryZ561 70QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) to the Mini ver. of the case Im talking about. I didn't find a Nano ver., but then again I didn't search for long.

yeah, thought of that, but i just dont like the leather cases, i like the ones that fit exactly, like the clear hard plastic ones, or the rubber ones, that are the exact shape. but they only have them for the old nano, so it seems..

[Klendathu]

Well if thats what you like, go for it.
I did have one of the rubber ones, and I was disappointed in it.
It got dirty easy, and was hard to clean. There was no window, so that eqauled no screen protection, but that just my experience with it.

[godgryphon]

I have a 3rd generation ipod, and I use Ephpod2 on it instead of itunes, and its great, but ive heard theres conflict with newer models of the ipod, so i wouldnt recommend it. Ipod agent is incredible, but it costs 30$ and I dont want to tell people how to steal it, so try it out, and i gaurentee you will like it :)

[pizzaman]

I'm getting a 80 GB iPod Video this Christmas! I can't wait! :D

[Tage187]

Ipods suck. Viva la Creative Zen!
Seriously ipods are as fragile as paper, get lost easily, dont take a lotta software as the zen and all in all the zens just better im sorry

[MOGHARR]

fragile? get lost? i disagree. maybe for peole that can just go ask their parents for anything and get it, no questions asked. but i payed for my ipod with my own money. i cant just break/lose it and go buy another one. peole just dont care about their stuff. and im talking a nano here, not a big clunky video or something.

[DarthBrady]

Yes, its a fact, the iPod Nano, Beat the Creative Zen in the categories of Durability and Ease of Use hands down in comsumer reports.

So sorry "Zen" but the market disagrees with you.

I had a Zen 2 years ago, and it fell apart the first time I dropped it. But I dropped my nano off a 40-foot bridge onto asphalt (i was drinking), and it just has a tiny scratch!

So I'll take my ipod over a Zen, anyday. Besides, does the Zen come with apple tech suppot?(which ranked Number 1 in the world, by the way.) I dont think so.:D

[Tage187]

Well from my own experience the ipod was terrible. My mate and my girlfriend both had them and found problems with them in which they exchanged them for zens which they are completely happy with. I too have a zen and never had problems with it.
While the iPod is a nice product, it's nowhere near perfect. The first issue is batteries. If you use an iPod regularly and as intended (which ppl do), you'll very quickly wonder where the replaceable battery is.
Replacing a failing iPod battery is a chore, at least if you don't want to damage your beautiful toy's pretty face. So, the first strike against the first generation iPods was: no removeable/replaceable battery. Ditto the second generation. Ditto the third generation. Ditto the fourth generation. Ditto the Mini.

Hello? Is anyone home at Apple? Did you folks not learn anything from the PocketPC or other consumer portable device makers? Apparently not. And don't tell me that a removeable battery would "ruin" the industrial design of the case. Nonsense. It didn't ruin the Powerbook's design, it won't ruin the iPod's. Seriously, this is a major flaw, and when batteries fail, an iPod user starts thinking about the hassle and cost of replacing the battery versus buying a new generation MP3 player. Does Apple think that they'll always have a majority share of the disk-based MP3 player market? If so, they'd better think different. Oh, wait, that's their slogan, isn't it? Mabye they'd better think different differently.

The second issue is multiple computers and multiple iPods. And for me, multiple operating systems. So, I've ripped my 2000+ CDs into Apple's format and put them on one of my computers. I move some over to my iPod. Hmm. What if I want to move them to my other computer or Mini? You can't copy from the iPod to a computer, apparently because Apple is in fear of Copyright issues.

[pizzaman]

actually, you can copy stuff from your ipod to your computer. go into the ipod from my computer. there's a hidden folder called "ipod_control". in there is a folder called music. and then in there is a bunch of folders with all of ur media in it. the music properties are still on the files, it's just that the names are all weird so do a search of the artist/song u want.
Yeah that's true, but I still think that they should have made the iPod have a normal copy/paste thing like any normal removable disk. That and that fact that it only plays mp4 files are my only disapointment. Everything else about it is awesome! :D

[DarthBrady]

That and that fact that it only plays mp4 files are my only disapointment.

Sorry, that is not true. It plays Mpeg layer 2-4, not just mp4.;)

[pizzaman]

Sorry, that is not true. It plays Mpeg layer 2-4, not just mp4.;)
Oh, what's mp2 then? I mean, I know what mp4 and mp3 files are already.

[Tage187]

Ah it can have all the fancy software it wants. In my PERSONAL OPINION though from my own experience the zen is just a better device. Sorry i no it seems like im tryin to p**s on your thread. I aint. Jus wanted to have my say. :D

[pizzaman]

Holy crap! I wasn't gonna bring up iPod Linux because I thought you guys had newer iPods, but it looks like DarthBrady has a second generation iPod. You could very well install Linux on it and run all sorts of stuff. Unfortunately, I have the newest one, so I'll probably have to wait a year or two until they make a stable Linux OS for it. But feel free to look at these links:

Well. then in that case, I'm going down with ya' CM, Because My 4BG iPod has about 3/12GB of "Limewire crap" on it :devil:

[MOGHARR]

you guys should use soulseek for music. i mean, from what ive heard, limewire has viruses and stuff on it.

[repulse91]

If it's video ipod you need filling then try this site. www.podtropolis.com
But if it's music then downloading using torrents was the best way for me. And if you're waiting for DRM to be cracked, then dont bother. Been searching for it about 2 months now and couldnt find one. Winrar+replace ItunesMetaData doesnt work on some games so I actually had to buy the crappy games before I realized that my DS was far superior in control comfort.

[repulse91]

Nice guides 7storm!! But I was finding the crack to pass DRM on video ipod games which I totally gave up finding it cuz Apple really made a break through on the issue. Out of 8 games, I could only make tetris work and had to buy the rest. There are more games coming in from iTunes and hopefully there would be a crack to do it in near future.

[pizzaman]

What are you guys talking about?

I heard that you can't get any of those games because it has to go through iTunes first. Are you guys saying that there's a way to do it? Because I really do want tetris on my iPod. :D

[repulse91]

Going through the iTune is an easy part cuz it works(It actually shows you instructions and all HOW TO PLAY THE GAME WITH SCREENSHOTS etc...) but when you sync up your ipod, and iTunes must auto sync the games to your ipod and it DOESN'T WORK. For all I know, you need a iTunes account and it have to match your iPod registration code during your first iTunes install etc.

Here's the guide.

Well the only working way that I know how is through iPod Linux. You can do endless things with that, even GameBoy and NES emulation, but unfortunately I have the 80 GB and they still haven't found a way to install linux on it. But they have tutorials for almost any other iPod type. They even made it so you can watch videos on the Nano( Or was it mini? ).

[pizzaman]

there's also actual games for the ipod linux like iDOOM. but it voids the apple warranty and is still in testing so it's still buggy.
Ipod Linux doesn't viod the warranty, but IDK about applications for it. The cool thing is that iPod Linux is completely safe and the worst thing that can happen is that you lose some data that was on your iPod( Music, Videos, ect. ). I can't wait until a working way to put linux on an 80 GB 5.5G ipod comes out. It might take a while though. :(

[repulse91]

Ah, havent talked about Ipod Linux with games like Doom and Pacman which I havent installed it but more frankly, I wouldnt dare install it. But I do agree with Storm on this one. If you do install it, it'll void your warranty. I heard it somewhere that Linux will leave a permenant mark in your ipod when you do install it and "Restoring" with iTunes isnt going to help either. And lets be frank here, Apple is one cheap money sucking corporation who wouldnt fix ipods when people hacked into it with Linux. They dont even change your dead ipod battery unless you pay em' $300+ for crying out loud. Damn Apple. I repeat. Linux is a hack, and it is not affiliated with Apple or iTunes whatsoever.

[repulse91]

Sorry for the double post but,

There are rumours and peoples who are going to emulate games and port it to ipod. Well, when that DRM gets the ***** slap that it deserves, I am sure people will be porting lumps of games such as Mario Bros or Iceman or Mappy etc... So my question is this, What bit would iPod support when it comes to console gaming? It can pretty much support streaming video for one part and a controller pack which you can plug it under your ipod wouldnt hurt either. lol.

[pizzaman]

whats different about the 80gb that's stopping ipod linux from running on it? aren't all of the 5th g's the same except for the size of their hard drives?
There are two types of 5th Generation. The regular 30 GB and 60 GB that came out first. Then there are the newer 30 GB and 80 GB iPods that came out. They have a different disk controller or something like that. But, people have successfully put Linux on almost every single iPod, except the 80 GB 5.5G. Which is what I have, Lol. Installing linux on a 30 GB 5.5G iPod is very hard, but seems to be easier than the 80 GB, because someone already put linux on a 30 GB 5.5G iPod.

[pizzaman]

the only thing is that there's only four buttons you can use for emulation (with another one for exiting the emulator). that's not gonna work too well when they're going to be taken up by up/down/left/right
Take a look at this (http://ipodlinux.org/Iboy). It explains the uses for the controlls and says that 85 % of GameBoy ROMs will run on it full speed. I'm guessing that the rest run slower or don't run at all.

Well IDK where I read it, but I know that it was on the iPod Linux's main site, it said that installing linux on your iPod does not void the warranty because it's software only, or something like that. I'm looking for the article and I'll post it if I find it.

[pizzaman]

According to Apple representatives, installing iPodLinux is completely legal. It does not involve tampering with any hardware, so Apple's replace/repair warranties aren't even violated. See iPodLinux:Copyrights for our policy on software design and other legal information.

There we go! I found it, and I think that this is a realiable source because it's coming from the iPod Linux website itself.

But even after reading your Linux source, I still believe that or agree with the following link that it will void your warranty. For example, Ipod Nano playing video which WAS NOT INTENDED by Apple for one thing (People'll be ****ed if they bought video so that they CAN PLAY VIDEO and not NANO). And playing games which is clearly a HACK AND MODIFICATION which was not suppose to be playing. Apple is not a very friendly corporation. They WILL FIND AN EXCUSE not to fix your ipod or TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for malfunctions.
They will do ALL NECESSARY MEANS to track the programs which was in and out of the ipod harddisk before agreeing with you to fix your iPod.

@Pizzaman - You're entitled to your own decision on installing it or not but I really recommend you wouldnt UNLESS it's really really safe to use. Give me some time till I find the suitable and working crack to by-pass those pesky DRM for games using iTunes. I am sure that it'll turn up ASAP and it'll be much more safer than using linux. But then again, I am here at an Emulation forum and I really hope that iPod version of Zelda with linux would be turning up. But really, playing games with iPod isnt that great from my experience. You've got the battery issue which kills faster than AIDS and clickwheel control which is SOOOO hard for me to control on Mini Golf.

[pizzaman]

Well maybe we're both right. I mean, from the source I got it said that installing Linux doesn't void the warranty, but maybe some programs you put on it do. IDK, but I don't think it matters. I never use warranties anyways. :D

I mean, if Nano has the compability to play video in the first place, Apple could have put sooooo much little effort to make it work and not charge and extra 100 bucks for video ipod.

Does puttin "-" in front of your sentences makes a decent point? support your ideas with a decent point to make your useless self alittle bit more useful.

And I do agree on #1 Ranked on customer service but we all have different ideas. I have never known that the Freedom of Speech is never tolerated in the forum. There are ALOT of people who's p!ssed with the customer service that Apple's supporting. Are you going bash them all out?

It's Apple's Answer to compete with the New "Microsoft Zune", which I must say, is a very nice product, and versatile.

But Apple has a few tricks up their sleeve, and I'm pretty confident that the 6th Gen iPod is gonna be Boss. I haven't heard a lot yet, other than it supposedly "all screen" on the face, with a touch screen click wheel!

[pizzaman]

really no info but some good pictures
http://www.previewgadgets.com/gadget/ipod_6th_generation_touch_screen


...won't the virtual track wheel leave friction marks on the screen where your fingers rub against it all the time?
IDK, I heard that those pictures were just all photoshoped by someone, but it could be a possibility. I think Apple should put more buttons on this thing. but IDK about this "New" generation. I'll buy myself another iPod when I move out or when this one brakes, and I feel that both are far away.

[Systemeth]

I have a 512 MB Ipod Shuffle. It doesn't have a replacable battery as it's charge is via USB. The Shuffle doesn't have a screen. It has a switch for modes ((OFF, Normal, Shuffle)) a button to show the battery meter (In the form of a tiny dot lighting up. Green is full, yellow is charge the sucker, red is dead you shoulda charged me so now you have to wait an extra like 4 hrs of charging time. The time between yellow and red is like 10, 20 mins.) And the classic circle of buttons (Play, Next, Previous, Volume).

My shuffle can't turn on without being powered on first ((meaning get a boost of power from a USB-supportable device such as a PC or a PS2. Thankfully it needs no special cord. It uses a normal USB. Tis also how it charges.)). It sometimes freezes and is stuck frozen til it gets a power boost. Battery life is about 8 hrs. Just long enough to be about 5 minutes more than the time it takes to listen to all of your music on it in one go.

Only iTunes will work with it. Anything else that adds music to it will add the music but if you try to Play any of it then it freezes. It's a solid white colour and I have no idea what 'generation' it is. As I found it in a movie theatre. Also its headphone jack ((no speakers. T_T)) is partially busted giving you sound in only headphone 80% of the time. ((20% of the time you get sound in both ears.))

You wish you could have a mp3 player as good as this.

this picture is a fake but a good artist's rendition for what it might look like

the ipod phone looks wicked friggin sweet. if they ever actually some out with that (and they should cuz it would pwn the Chocolate) they should put on congular servoce and make a game controller attacthment for it that you can buy, and have it operate on maybe a linux based envorinment but maybe one that emulates windows in they way it runs processes? i've been screwing with linux in my computer class at school and i could only find one emulator i could easily get to work (ines fyi) Windos emulators are far superior.

[ComaDivine]

iPhone looks good..
But yeah personally I don`t really like iPods. Other brands are far superior, even if the iPod was the first.
My MP4 player.. I love it. I find it a lot better than any iPod. It`s a little bit igger than the size of an iPod nano and holds just as much, but it`s so much more streamlined and easy to use.. I dunno, I just don`t find iPods tht magnificent.

at least someone has my back here, props dude. :)


All my point is really, is that I created this thread for iPod owners/users to discuss the iPod. But somehow all these people keep using it to hate on apple, or talk about alternate products. I did not create this thread for haters. If you dont like it, start your own Damn thread.

And for all you haters out there, let me break it down for you:

I have NOT been an apple fan for over 19 Years, I have despised them.
But the Proof is in the Puddin' folks, Nobody can deny the increase in sales AND satisfaction in ALL apple products in the last 6 fiscal quarters. Although maybe not every decision they make is the best one, but hey, like Windows PCs can say any better, nobody is perfect.

Whatever they decide to go in the tech world, they are going in the right direction for success, or else they wouldnt be ranked #1 in Laptop Sales, and Tech support/Customer Service Satisfaction. The Tech industry is changing every single day, we all know this to be true. And apple is trying their best to make the best of it, and apparently they are doing a good job of it. From the day they decided to base OSX on Unix, they have done nothing but skyrocket their strength.

I do not own an apple Computer, nor do I plan to purchase one soon. But that doesnt mean I am going to be closed minded and hate on them. Whether you like it or not, Apple is out there, and apple is growing.

I could keep going, but it seems my point is clear enough.

I leave you with a word of thought:
"When its sink or swim, you've got to think to win"

iPhone looks good..
But yeah personally I don`t really like iPods. Other brands are far superior, even if the iPod was the first.
My MP4 player.. I love it. I find it a lot better than any iPod. It`s a little bit igger than the size of an iPod nano and holds just as much, but it`s so much more streamlined and easy to use.. I dunno, I just don`t find iPods tht magnificent.
What I like about the my iPod is that there isn't a larger one in the world( As far as I know ). I've put on 35 episodes from shows, 20 movies, 1000 high-quality photos, and not music( Lol ) and it only takes up 18 GB so far. This thing is freaking awesome! :D

Thats impressive. I really wanted to get the video, but due to lack of $$, I got the nano, but I still love it.

What I cant wait for is the next video, the 6th gen iPod. So far, its sounding pretty good ;)

........that would take some work. and plus, apple aims more for ease of use, and a bunch of advanced options like that would make people scream. oh well, but that'd be good for a pocket pc or something

well than someone should comine the massive storage of the apple ipod with a windows-compatible OS that can run any program within its hardware limits that runs on windows, with built in wi-fi support, optional cell phone support, an attatchable game controller extension, a decent sized screen, a strong CPU, at priced at around 50$

Well they have almost all of those, except that they cost $700+.
