Is it unheard of to own more than one ipod? I'm ready to purchase my 1st. ipod and break away from the Cd ranks.

If you buy more than one, you're more apt to lose one of them because you may leave it in the car in plain sight or at work or at the gym, or whereever. If you only have the one - and remember the one - then you should keep it with you and it'll be a little poke to your brain to go get the iPod whenever you walk out of the gym, get out of the car, whatever, without the iPod in your hand. If you have two, you'll think "oh, I have the other one" and not care enough about keeping both of them 'safe'.I mean, if you have enough money and don't care....get however many you want; however, I can't just toss money out for 2 iPods so I buy one and treat it well.

I have a 60 GB too, it holds everything - audiobooks, podcasts, entire music collection, etc. I listen to my podcasts through the car dock, and I use playlists at work (I teach yoga, and would never listen to that kind of music just for fun, lol).But, it really is too big and heavy to work out with - hanging from my waistband, I was afraid it would either pull my pants down or fall off and break! So, my hubby got me an iPod Shuffle for Christmas 2007, and it's the world's most perfect workout buddy. I keep it loaded with all my pumped-up fun tunes and I actually look forward to working out. Plus it clips right to my shirt and weighs like an ounce, so it's perfect.I'd never give up either one of them!

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

i have a large Classic that lives out of site in the car.I also have an iPhone and touch that I use for calls/games and development (respectively)iTunes 8.x makes managing multiple iPods much easier than the old versions.

I had a nano 2nd generation until recently when I upgraded to the classic 120. The nano and I had good times and I consireded keeping it for the gym and what not. BUt I love my music so much and my taste varies from hour to hour that I would rather keep the classic with me at all times with my entire music collection and create several playlists within it than keep my nano and not have everything I want at any given moment. So the nano will be inherited by my mom this Christmas. Yep, thats right, some seriously early "Christmas shopping" ;-)

There you go. Great insight. No correct answer, just, "you might consider". I'm not rich and want to spend my money wisely. Thank you very much!

My bad. I'm such a rookie. I have ordered my ipod thru Amazon, but only seen it up close in a display counter. So at some point I will truly realize what is small, big, heavy and delicate. Thanks!

Thanks for your viewpoint. I am starting big (120 GB), and to come across a little guy for those care free jaunts could be of interest. I do like your "heavy" reference...Funny.....

Two identical iPods wouldn't make much sense. But I have a full size Classic (for work) and I'm considering buying a Nano for the gym because it's smaller and lighter.
395999
ok what i did was i bought a 120 gig classic to hold all of my music. Now for photos and random videos and a couple songs i've downloaded on the spot i have my 32 gig touch. So i have my classic jor just music and a touch for everything else!

My wife and I use 2 headphones with a single source. The way we do it is we plug one headphone base into the stereo and then both headphones connect to that base wirelessly. I set it up once and haven't had any issues. You still need to plug both bases into a wall outlet to charge, but at least 2 headphones work off one base. The base that isn't connected to an audio source doesn't transmit because of the feature that puts it to sleep if it isn't receiving sound. If you only want to use one set, you will need to use the set that is charging on the base that is connected to your audio source. My wife and I use 2 headphones with a single source.

Can we try not to have an iPod VS. Zune discussion until the Zune is, at least, Released? The iPod has been around for FIVE years and is in it's 5th generation. There are almost 70 million people who joined the iPod culture. I don't think this is a fair fight. Plus, we can't be walking around with iPods forever. Trends can end as soon as they start. I personally applaud Microsoft for giving it a shot and delivering a product that's exciting enough to compete with the iPod.

We each have our preferences, but listening to books on a shuffle is certainly not one of mine. As has been pointed out, there's no way to see where you are in the book, and it doesn't use a scroll wheel like a nano or other ipod to make finding your place easy. Since I usually convert CD audio books to MP3 and ipod formats I've found that when you have a long book (say 12-24 CDs), it's quite easy to lose your place if you ever do anything else with your ipod (and you certainly can't do much with a shuffle), it can be incredible PITA to get back to where you were. I finally dumped my shuffle.I'd recommend a nano (5th Gen is superior to the newest model in my opinion) or anything with a screen.

Only one device was sold on Amazon, but you can purchase a pair from the Milkies website. I've considered purchasing a second device since it does such a good job of collecting. However, I really only see using one at a time (while nursing on the other breast). If the milk saver was less bulky and were a closed unit to prevent spilling, then I would definitely order a second to wear while going about my day. But they are rather large and cannot be concealed under clothing. And I've forgotten twice and bent over, spilling all my collected milk. Therefore, it really should only be worn while actively nursing and should be removed when you remove the baby.

Thank you, I called and spoke with someone at Rhapsody as well. I asked about the available service for the use of ipods. It was said to me that the older version ipods are not serviceable by Rhapsody. It was said to me only the newer ipods were accepted for service. I know this doesn't have to do with the Phillips but I figured any available information is helpful when in search of a gadget such as the mp3 player for the particular use on Rhapsody. Thank you for the info on the Phillips mp3. I am sure it will be very helpful to many people.

Unfortunately, this has happened three times to my multi-changer units. I have had the multi-changers refurbished for a bit under $100 twice through Bose, and I plan to do the same with my spare. I use the CD slot in disc #1 - the Wave unit - so I don't have to replace it, so I use slots #2 through #4 on the multi-changer unit. I hope to continue to get all my CD's on a hard drive so I can use the Wave III with the Bluetooth. Best of luck.

I bought a 4GB Nano 2 years ago because I only had 3GBs of music. Now I have 16GBs. Getting an iPod may give you the bug to listen to more music. With the ease of switching between songs and creating playlists, any mp3 player will drive you to experiment a little with your music taste. I also could not have cared less about the pictures or video (still don't) - but I got really into podcasts, and those take up space (if you like radio, check out podcasts - better quality, fewer interruptions). Bottom line - you will probably regret not spending the extra $50. The 80GB is a little more delicate than the nano (spinning hard drive vs. flash memory), but if you are just going to keep it at home it should not be an issue.

Only one at a time, but you should be able to use it with multiple bluetooth devices. I haven't tried, as I only have an iPod, but according to the directions you could connect (one at a time) to multiple bluetooth devices. I'm sure you would need to be sure that others were turned off, so they wouldn't be trying to connect simultaneously.

good for you - I was using shorthand, though, of course, to indicate that I feel too much like an old fogey to jump on the iPod bandwagon - and I'm still interested in some sort of portable Sirius or a competitor if anyone has any ideas.... Unless of course someone wants to hold my hand thru every step of the way of buying, loading, and using and iPod and its accessories... :)

my name: I don't understand your argument. Just because it is first generation, that means it does not benefit from what is currently available on the technology market? That is like saying a new television manufacturer should only be expected to supply black and white TVs, since it is their first forray into the market.King: My prediction is that in 2 years this will be roughly equal to all other MP3 players out there. A feature here or there will be different, just to stand out. Unfortunately, they will probably not have the market share to knock out the damn iPod.

also thought I'd addwe don't use the ipod holder, it limits your vision (and we only have one and they will probably fight over it)if you can find it on sale, even betterKMart here in northern OK has them on sale right now

Forgive me but I don't have kids but yes I think it's worthwhile. But IPODs are the best MP3 players out there due to not just the player but the itunes application. And I don't currently own an ipod. Mine died awhile back. I went the cheap route and tried other players like sansa, which is one of the best in the industry for windows. Yet, IPOD (apple products) blows it out of the water. It's worth it. Refurbs are a risk but with a 12 year old I'd do it. And down the road after she's become a pro at using it maybe she get inspired to save up for her own. That's my own delusion thinking :-) As for warranties. It's 50/50 but still more cost effective.

I'm with those who advise contacting Fitbit, so they can reunite the found Fitbit One with its rightful owner. And I'm puzzled at those who say you need to buy the dongle. Does anyone actually use that thing? I synchronize with my phone or my iPod Touch, and have never used the dongle. Since it's the same price as the charging cable (which I think is too expensive), I wish I could have gotten a second cable, instead of the dongle, when I bought my Fitbit One.

No you can only sinc one item at a time. If I want to switch from my iPad to my iPhone I have to turn Bluetooth off on the one n order to sink another. It really does sound good though I hope this helps you.

LOL... too old for an iPod? I've got 4 iPods, and a music library of well over 5000 songs, and I'm 66 years old. I plan on using them for many years to come. 8-)
