Hey thank you very much for your info. Is there any better MP3 players? Like which ones?Thank you once again!

Just to correct one misconception. The iPod is not limited to music purchased at the iTunes store. You mentioned my favorite source, emusic.com which works great with an iPod (or any mp3 player). Unprotected mp3s from any source will work just fine. You are correct in that iPods don't work with subscription services.

thats right. I got my ipod Video 4 months ago and it frooze few mins ago. None of the keys are working. Song title is still up and back ground light is still there.

Ok great thanks for your comments; was getting scared, thought that this version was coming out with problems. BTW, what do you think about the Zune or the Creative Zen? do they match with iPod?Thanks once again

All computers (and that's really what an iPod is) will freeze occasionally. There are two recent posts about freezing (which, I suspect prompted your question)which, aside from sounding like they were written by the same person, were written by people without much knowledge of the device. Like your desktop computer, generally, an iPod is easily reset on the fairly rare occasions when it does freeze. I've had almost every generation of iPod. If they freeze more than once every couple of months, I'd be surprised.

I am planning to buy an iPod, not for a fashion statement, but because everything out for docking, etc., comes for iPod. I already own a very modest, 4-year-old .mp3 player by Creative Labs, but I wanted something bigger with video, etc., so I am planning on iPod. I do have the itunes concern, though. Is Zune by Creative Labs?

My ipod froze once. I went to the ipod website and tried all the listed cures and none seemed to work. After a day, the battery drained, I recharged it and it has worked fine since. I use the ipod in an ihome alarm clock with remote so that may have caused some problems but like I said, it only froze up once and has worked well daily since.

I got a Zune for Christmas and have already sent it back. I loved the look, the feel, the bigger screen, and the radio. The only problem I found was the software and it lagged(like a PC). Until a new version of the Zune comes out I would go with something else.

Wow ok thank you for your post. I am about to buy mine so I hope everything runs very smooth. Happy new week.Yayo =3

I never had to look up the warranty information because my device has performed flawlously. As of this writing I have transferred over 3,000 songs to my computer and downloaded them to my IPOD. I admit I had some difficulty figuring out how to use the device due to the poorly written instructions and the lack of detail content. However, I am very happy now that I have figured things out for myself. Maybe, that's the point. You know......learn more completely through massive experimentation, Good Luck.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I just started a new discussion on how to correct a few issues, and make it a lot more enjoyable with Mac. Check it out if you are having problems. It's (now) by far the easiest MP3 player I've ever used.

What I want to know is, after reading these reviews both good and bad, I am wavering about whether I should keep my Striiv. How is the company going to support me if and when the devices freezes, stops working altogether etc. I am a citizen on a fixed income and really bought this device at great sacrifice to myself. I would appreciate an answer ASAp

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

I have had the same problem since owning mine since 6/3/2007. After each time that I recharge/sync it the Nano will freeze, requiring a reset to get it working again. After that it will work fine each time I turn it on up until recharging/resyncing it again. This is rather annoying considering that I just upgraded from a 1st gen 2GB Nano to a 4GB 2nd gen.

Each time you have returned your son's Nano for a replacement you begin a new one-year warranty period from that date of replacement - not from the original date of your first purchase, so it is probably still in warranty. I admire your patience. After three returns I'm sure I would have given up and asked for my money. I am having "freezing up" issues with the new 3rd generation Nano. I took it back today and received a replacement. In the store, they said they have never heard of such problems with the 2g or the new 3g nano. I suppose they have to say that. Personally, I will only give it a second chance.

They still can't help you on this?? I mean they made the product, there are people out there that still have it, they should support it. I know it doesn't help you now, and I hate to say, I can't even help you. I was having issues with mine, and it ended up freezing on one pic, so I've since unplugged it. Good luck, I hope someone can give you an answer.

March 20, 2014 Sorry. I can't help you with Apple. I had the computer for along time and was not able to operate it effectively. I returned to my old computer. Sorry.Don.......................

I had it 3.5 hours before it froze on me. Wouldn't ever get past the SANSA logo screen after that. I would not recommend you get another of any of the M200 series at all. The discussions on them are the same as here. The M240 is filled with more like this. It's a bug in the production process or something. I wonder how many have had the same problem but not posted or given a review?

MauraSorry, no. I haven't had any replies... and I haven't purchased it yet. May be I will visit the Apple store to ask one of the Geniuses behind the counter.

Well I think it's ok but it freezes. My other cam froze too . I think it's the Mac mini not the cam; I have a mini , so I think the cam is ok. I read a bit and people say it's the card in the mini that causes it. I don't know, but u Cannot change the card in the mini. If u know a cam that works better, let me know, thx

If you think you feel bad? Try being an owner of a 80gb iPod and then having it stolen from your vehicle. Hey! S..T happens, and you have to learn to take the good with the bad. I was taken for $350.00, but I didn't go out and buy a new iPod right away. My patience paid off, now I can go get another 80gb with new added features and for a cheaper price.

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

As soon as Amazon runs out of stock of the OS 2.xx iPod Touch, they should start stocking those with 3.0. Might be a while. I got mine long after OS 2.2.1 was released, and it came with OS 1.1 in it! By long, I mean many months.

iPod Touch 8GB 4th Generation is my favorite. But since you had a nano, maybe you might not like it since it has a touch screen,etc. I like it because watching videos on the retina display is AWESOME!!!!!! Plus music too. I don't really use it for much else besides Playing Music/Watching Videos/Pandora. I don't use apps, use the internet sparingly, etc. You should probably wait until September because a new nano will be coming out then.

It happened to me 2 days ago, and all I had to do was to unplug the Ipod and plug it back. And make sure that the connection is tight(pushed all the way in), a lose connection might cause that error msg to pup up. Also make sure that the Ipod is charged up, because it isn't getting charged from the cable. I don't know where you live, but you should know that the cold is draining the battery quicker than normal usage does.
