Forget about the iPod.

Bad advice, as millions will attest.

Just like the lemmings, because some jump of a cliff everybody does it.

But later you call me Windows looser, but according to your own point, must Windows be MUCH better than OSX, simply because many people use it.

Get a grip on your points.


Go get an Creative Zen Vision M, it works perfectly as a USB host, and can get data from just about any USB drive.

More bad advice.

I can hear you have not tried it, in every test i have seen it wins on viode quality, audio quality, amount of codec, features and much more. Only one irrelevant point does the iPod win on, and that is the look.


I use it with my Nikon D200 without any problems at all.

ALso it has built in radio (iPod does not), it has an user adjustable equalizer (iPod does not), and it play a lot more different video codecs than the iPod.

Who needs a frickin' radio?

A lot of people. Actually here in northern europe we have a lot of great music stations.


And a very important issue, there is absolutly no reason to use iTunes (crappy program) It just mounts as a drive on your PC. Much more easy to handle the files.

iTunes crappy? Think again Windows loser...

Yes i think iTunes is crappy, the way to make playlists is bad, if you by mistake tells itunes to handle your files, everything gets mixed up (gladly MediaMonkey can repair the damage)

But if you are happy with the iPod + iTunes fine with me. I have had an iPod, and really hated it, glad i bought it used. But i am very pleased with my Creative Zen Visions M, simply because it is a better piece of hardware, and i did actually choose it by comparing over 20 different players, and not just bought what the rest gets (lemming effect).

p.s. You should maybe not complain about my advice, when you contributed absolutly nothing yourself.
