I am interested in who uses an Apple iPod or another digital music listening device. As most may know, Apple's iPod, despite its high price, is one of the top digital music playing devices on the market. The iPod plays Apple's own AAC formatted tracks as well as standard MP3. The device can also be used as a simple PDA-like device. The iPod seemlessly integrates very well with Apple's iTunes music management, playback, recording and online store software.
Apple is not the only player in the field as other companies such as Rio and Sony have digital players. Firms such as Roxio have their own online digital music stores where you can buy tracks for as little as 99 cents each. Walmart has a digital store that sells tracks for 88 cents each.
I was wondering how many people around here use these devices and online music services. As a Macintosh owner and user, I have seriously considered buying the iPod, but am leary of issues dealing with the battery and the durability of the device.
I would like to know if there are any iPod users out there who have had their iPods prematurely fail on them. Also what about those who own other devices. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using those devices?
What about the online music services? Are they worth the time, cost and hassle? Finally what about those of you who are hangers-on in the free downloading world of digital music? Kazaa? Limewire? Whatevers....
