Also, you can download iTunes for free from Apple to try without having an iPod. Take a test drive with it and see how it works. This may help answer some of your questions. http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview/

The output from Ion Tape Express (ITE) is in WAV file format. iTunes recognizes and will play WAV files, but if you're having trouble just convert the WAV files to MP3. I suspect the reviewer might expect the ITE device to be recognized by iTunes, like an external drive or something. Naturally ITE will not, nor would I expect it to. Apple would have to write a special driver to do that, and I'd be very surprised if they ventured out in that direction. To get music from ITE to iTunes, use ITE to get the music from the tape to your hard drive. After the music is on the HD, import it into iTunes.

if they want to compete with Apple... seriously??? the Zune HD's 32 gb version is only 289.99... while the iPod Touch's 32 gb version is.... yup, a whopping $399.99, i dunno about you, but i think i would prefer the device that is $120 cheaper and with the same capacity ;) so tell me again how this won't compete with the iPod touch?

No. You can only download iTunes for the iphone, ipad, ipod, or your computer or laptop! I owned this player in the past and I do not recommend it. It's junk and very slow.

but for some reason, I didn't like iTunes software, many times, it does not work the way it suppose to. my wife has IPod touch and for some reason, it is not allowing to transfer videos even though we un-install the software cleanup registry and iTunes location. :(

Sure does...it's amazing! I load my amazon all the time....and have watched youtube. You cannot link Itunes to it as Samsung and Apple are, I guess, competitors, but if you want that option....you'll have to purchase a box at Bestbuy or other similar store...it's called an Apple box ($100) that you can plug it and then you can upload Itunes. Other than that, Yes to your question...again...I love it!

Pls excuse my ignorance - I know nothing about any of this but am looking to buy for my niece. So my stupid question is this: With Skype and the other items noted above, she can use this ipod as a telephone, correct? Then it must have WiFi access? But to use it as a cell phone wouldn't be good as you can't always pick up a WiFi connection. Do I have this right?On the other side of the coin, the new Iphone also has an Ipod in it, but I can't find anywhere on Apple site how much storage it has for ipod capability - how many songs can it hold (Assuming New IPhone 3g 16g)?

It recieves internet radio all on its own. Some apps are free(pandora, slacker) and others you need a premium account(spotify, last.fm, XM) But the really really slick feature is once you have it networked you can connect to its webpage and add radio stations off the web if you know the URL. It will M3u, RSS(podcasts) and another one I can't remember right now. The vtuner app already has tons of station you can search for. It also has DNLA so you can listen to anything you have shared via windows media player on the local network. Ipod works great on the front USB but the onscreen display is a little slow but if you use a lot of playlists you should be happy. One problem I haven't figured out yet is when I use my portable USB drive. It likes to play every song twice. The USB drive also has a pokey menu. If you are a heavy user of internet radio you will be very happy though.

It's most definitely worth it! I have owned the older (1st generation) ipod and finally upgraded. I love it! It's more than just a music player now. There are apps that make it a phone, facetime is really handy and I love that I can watch videos on it. I suggest the 32 or 64gb versions though as I am told the 8gb doesn't have enough space for movies. I have the 32gb and absolutely love it!

The usb is extremely limited playing only what is in the root directory and giving no more information than track and time. I set up a play list on my computer of all the songs I want played, e.g. for Christmas, copy to the thumb drive, stick it into this player and go to usb. It is better to use the ipod port to get all the info, etc.

Cowon uses Windows Explorer (or whatever operating system you have on your computer) to see the music you have (MP3's usually) and you just drag and drop them to and from the player. Simple and effective. That is one of the major reasons why I chose a Cowon (quite apart from the music quality being 10 times better than iPods!). No stupid, pain-in-the-rear iTunes!!!! Any other questions, please let me know.

Hey - I too am in Birgitta's position, trying to decide whether I should stick with iPods or go over to Zune. I currently own a iPod Mini and did not like how the battery went bad and now can only be played once before the iPod says that the battery is low and goes out. I am trying to decide whether to get a 80G Zune or an 80G iPod classic. My main question is - being an iPod owner, I have put so much time into my iTunes organizing it, putting in cover art, etc.If I was to buy a Zune, can I get everything out of the iTunes, including cover art?thanks

The best and simplest way is to go through Itunes and just drag and drop. Sync it from there.I must warn you though, not all iPod videos come out the same. Some don't sync properly, for some reason (still working on that one). But 95% that I've sync'd played just fine.You can than use the DVD player/dock and watch them in widescreen!

I am happy with my Creative system. It plays to my satisfaction with no issues. I think it also depends on certain downloads you may have; say on your IPOD. If they aren't the best quality & sound fuzzy, they can also playback with the same results. Having said that, I think for the money they are great. Hope this helps!

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.
