You can use free apps in Ubuntu to connect and sync your iPod if you don't like itunes

Personally I hate iTunes so will never get an iPod/phone/pad

WHS

I'll stick with creative, I prefer the technology and the interface isn't that bad, besides I don't think ipods are compatible with flac files.

Congratulations you have won!

You are now the proud owner of the latest iPad, Please send me you full postal address, D.O.B and mother's maiden name to claim your prize.

I'm just going to make my own iPad.

Almost certainly it can be fixed by installing a new hard drive or something into the iPod depending on what's broke. The web is full of fairly sinple repairs to iPods and EBay is full of bits for sale.

I'll never own anything by Apple as it is the devils spawn.

I've had a couple of Creative players and one Sony. None of them were as good as the iPod Classic I now have.

The Creatives had crap interfaces. The Sony had poor song access times (always had a spinning 'please wait' icon when navigating about) and even worse software.

So I'm not at all suprised Apple have cleaned the floor with the competition.

Brothers got one - works well.

How sucked into itunes are you? If you're used to podcasts automatically downloading and syncing or have bought any itunes content then you might regret going anything other than ipod.

iPod? It'll never catch on.

Sony mp3 players are very good.

MrsF has a Zen and I have a Sansa - both pleased with them.

I prefer the idea of a solid state rather than disk, so it I ever get the urge to do some exercise, I can take it with me and not worry about it getting trashed.

[norrahe]

Anything by Creative I've always found them very reliable.

Thanks birthday brother

iPod Classic, I know you said you believe they are overpriced but where else can you get 160Gb of memory on an mp3 player for the price? also plays movies

Thanks birthday brother, I'll file that thought under "to be considered if can't find another reasonable option". Might go that route, just want to consider my options first. Cheers.
