Whats stopping you? come on mate jump in to the bandwagon. Ipod is great, got me self a 120 gig Ipod classics. lots of room for music library and movies. I often travel a lot and its one of my necessities. Feels great to be carrying your entire music library in your pocket. Whatever your mood is you could just select any genre or album that you feel like listening to at that very moment without the hassle of sifting through your cds and music collection. Compact and Mobility is the key issue here. Also Ipod doesnt promote piracy, its really up to the user where he gets the stuffs the he puts into his Ipod. As for me I got an entire cd libraries at home, some cd i have during highschool days. I rip them & load them in my Ipod, after all its not piracy, ive purchased all these cd.. same goes for the movie collection i have from my Ipod ripped from dvd, its also great when you have an ipod cable, whenever im in a hotel and i dont want the movie being played, i could easily connect my ipod via video audio out in the hotels tv, viola instant home theater system.. go get yours now dude.

Buying cds is cheaper if youre buying the entire album. I would suggest buy only particular tracks on Itunes that you like..for example single for that newly released album. Its much cheaper than buying the whole album. for evaluation purposes, if you think you would like the whole album then download it or buy it in cd.

If the choice of digital audio players is out of your price range, you might want to consider spending in a generic digital audio player. Ipods are more expensive. Generic digital audio players are an excellent bang for their buck; I bought one around four years ago, and it is still playing music to this day.

I have an iPod Nano awhile ago and I hardly use it anymore because I have an iPhone. iPhone I could listen to music so therefore I hardly use my iPod Nano (only if I go to the gym) so technically if you're going to use the iPod a lot then get it but if you're not because you're into new technology every year then don't.

well i think having an ipod is really cool and as long as ur downloading on a legal music site like itunes ur still helping the Artists and the music industry. but yourright that its really quite expensive but if its worth your money and you are really happy having it so i guess go for it!!but the most important thing is if you have the money to purchase it, go buy it!!=)

I have a nano 4th gen. It's good actually. I watch anime movies but I can't read the translation since it is small. When I get bored, I play cards there. It's really nice. Yeah, it's kinda like promoting illegal downloading. But here in the country, it's legal for that. I don't know in Canada. Just be careful!

When my small Acer palm computer broke down, I was given an Ipod as present. It could not do with it what I enjoyed most in my Acer, which was to write my diary notes, which I later transferred to my computer. I think the Ipod is good if its music you are interested in, but that was not my case. I would also have to agree that they promote illegal downloads, although these days I think people can get music for free in many places, which was not the case before.

I don't know I don't have one and I have kinda wanted one before but you are right they are expensive some what. If you really want one then you should get one but I might and I might not not sure anyway have a good day.

You should get one. I've been planning on getting one too. I've been saving up. Ipods don't promote illegal downloading. It's the users' responsibility if they're gonna do something illegal or not. Ipods only play music.

I have an old iPod Nano and I like it a lot, but I would like to get one of the newer iPod Classic so I could watch video on it, but unfortunately, I do not have any extra money for any of the cool extra stuff I want so I'm pretty happy with my old iPod Nano at the moment.
