WHY WHY WHY is this IPOD not more user friendly
the ipod is like the easiest thing in the world.
it's not that user friendly to be honest. and neither is iTunes. To understand the program, you must think as an Apple Fan-person. that's the only way. (hint - figure out if "update songs automatically") is checked or unchecked. To remove the songs from your ipod, I say "manually update songs" instead of automatic, then click the songs I want to remove on my ipod (NOT MY LIBRARY), highlight all the ones I want by using control and click - then Right-click, CLEAR - and DONE!
Woot
haha you're totally right. it's actually pretty confusing
i HATE my ipod.
i'll take it
i was so happy about my ipod because it revolutionized my gym experience, (it was no longer boring) but now I mostly do the zumba classes so i don't need the ipod
it's lonely
yeah i love the concept of the ipod. it just is always breaking and never working. if it worked, i would love it.
yeah i just don't have that much use for it. I don't walk around in the city. I listen to music on the computer most of the time. I don't really ride trains or buses... and when driving i listen to cd's
so yeah my ipod is lonely
i use mine mainly for podcasts, but also for long drives and sometimes at work.
but yeah, my ipod is broken. so i don't listen to it at all right now. :(
I only use mine in the car, with my tape adapter (I hate that thing..I've been through two already). I don't even use it when walking around up at school.
The UI for ipod is terrible IMHO
actually, the UI on the iPod is my favorite part. I think the click wheel is just about the best invention ever. And the menus are organized very logically. And I love how you can make on-the-go-playlists. I think it's great
it's really good once you get used to it, but for a non-computer person i could see it being almost impossible to understand.
I'm psyched cuz i JUST figured out how to hook up my ipod directly thru my car stereo system, without the crappy radio frequency thing, plugs right into my EQ
details? 3.5mm X 1" Mini stereo plug?, RCA's? do tell...
yeah what todd said below
Share! This would be good to know.
he has an aftermarket Equalizer that takes RCA stereo. He got the mini stereo (1/8th inch) to RCA stereo converter, and the right wires. :D
thats funny you say that matt. i am computer illiterate (it took me over a year to figure out how to operate ians ftp...and i was constantly working towards it, night and day, 24/7) but i totally get the ipod and itunes too, for the most part. like i have no idea what this EQ and UI and RCA stuff means, but i could definately show you how to hook up the pod and play with it. :)
I have yet to actually USE my Ipod. I've had it for 3 weeks i think. The ear things are to big for my ears, I need smaller ones. I hope it revolutionizes my workout. I think it will, unless I just end up dancing at the gym and not working out.
I have an ipod, now i want the nike+ to revolutionize my work out.
you could do both with a little "dance dance revolution".
I hate those earbuds. Even when they do fit they're super uncomfortable. I just went out and bought some normal head phones (this also is good for when you hide your ipod in your bag so people don't mug you to get it..the white headphones are a dead give away to what you're listening to)
this is a very late comment, but i love my ipod. it goes most places with me and i use it quite a lot, mostly in my truck. when i have company i make a playlist and dock it to some nice speakers and let it rock. as for user-friendliness. it's mondo-easy to use. i just plugged it in and everything took care of it self. simple. BUTTTTT i'm thinking of dropping the Motorola Q and getting the Chocolate with the 2gig mem, so i would very rarely have to carry a phone AND an IPOD. . . HMMMMMMM . . . decisions
