mik3 1 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 I think it's worth the 50 bucks for the 5x bigger hard drive. But I'm also a music freak who has about 4500 songs on his computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msander 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 I decided to get a mini, mostly due to the size. If you're a music nut and have a ton of music like mik3, then obviously you should get the 20 gig for only 50 bucks more, it's definitely worth it in that case. However, I only have about 5 to 6 hundred songs on my computer and that filled up about half my mini. I figure if the day comes when I finally fill it up...well I don't need to listen to 1000 songs at once...I could always remove a few things. As far as battery life goes, I find that I get about 7-8 hours of continuous play time or so off a full charge on my mini, and that's plenty for almost everything.

Gee12 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 I like my 20G because I didn't mind paying an extra 50 bucks for an EXTRA 16GB and plus the battery lasts longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mik3 1 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 I personally went with a 40gig, 'cause I download whole albums all the time. Currently I have about 4 entire albums queued in soulseek. But I know I'm not the majority. Some people just like to pick 2-3 songs from an album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 4G 20 gig and my bro has a mini. They are virtually identical in size. Full size ipod is about as long as a typical CD, as thick as your index finger, and no more than 2.5 inches wide.

Fonya 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 If your going for an ipod, you should be looking at storage. If you want size, you should be looking at a mp3 player. The Ipod mini is nice, but like said before, isnt much smaller than the regular version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vapor 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 Thats the stupidest iPod there is. I would never get that. I like how its small but theres no screen and you can't really choose what song you want to listen to. Its not suppose to have a screen. The whole point is to have random songs come up. iTunes will recognize that its a shuffle, and then randomly pick 100 or so songs of yours (either by most listened to or by some other standard). Or you can add whatever songs you want. Its a nice price point flash player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mik3 1 Report post Posted January 19, 2005 With the shuffle you can also use itunes to set your playlist up in order. Though I guess I'd rather just have it shuffle instead of trying to remember 100 songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
