my daughter's nano came on and had some security combination thing for no reason.

shes never locked it and there is nothing in the manual about how to unlock it

she got it for xmas and hasnt really been able to use it.

Yeah thats the screen lock.. quite touch sensitive that..

Try 1000 or 2000 cause the slightest of touches can change the 1st digit.

I think that pic in your sig illustrates what you said quite nicely

I have the second generation ipod 40 gig tank. it is large and in charge, no color, old school font, etc. however, it doesnt seem to have the battery issues or other bs issues that I keep reading about. it is not sexy, but it works.

still the cheapest and most reliable - external hard drive, music, video, picture listening/viewing machine around!!

got myself a nano last year (to replace by 2nd gen oaf ipod) with audio input/speaker device

so now its a hard drive + music player + picture viewer + music recorder + speaker + dictaphone!

Think you guys just love a good moan...

i'm with you man, i've had my 30GB iPod for almost two years now and it's been scratched to fuck, goes to the gym every day with me and gets sweaty ... has never played up. not once.

There are better players. iAudio and Sony are both better mp3 players. I hear people complain about no support for FLAC but not all devices play FLAC so ~320kbps mp3 non DRM means you can have whatever player you want.

The problem with Sony is until very recently they promoted their own encoding (ATRAC) which is Sony only and you had to copy your tunes using Sony Connect which was, ahem, poor. iAudio was clunky with playlists and synching it was all drag and drop.

iTunes may be an arse but I have yet to find anything better for Managements, sorting, tagging and podcasts. In the end I moved to iPods because of iTunes even tho I had an iAudio. There's things that piss me off about iPod and iTunes but I can't find a better combination. I'd slap the people that make these devices all over the shop because it's really simple things that would make life easy.

Son has just woken up to this...years too late and made their really excellent mp3 players work with iTunes and stopped pushing ATRAC. Good move but a little late.

I've now ditched Windows for Ubuntu but not happy with all the various music management tools. I actually keep a Windows dual boot partition purely and soley (same thing innit?) for iTunes.

Such are the concerns of the geek and those of us who have a zillion mixes we need to get listened to!

If the iPod had an external volume button and external on off button and iTunes didn't consume more memory than my whole OS I'd probably quit whinging. Well, about that anyway...

Ipod and I-tunes are the devils spawn
