Best there is.
By Kirk Enstrom
This is quite simply the best MP3 player you can buy. Unless you need more capacity, in which case buy the 20 GB version.
The changes in the iPod from the last iteration are significant. It is a bit thinner, which is always nice. The carrying case and remote are great, although some might want to get a case which allows access to the control buttons and scroll wheel, if you don't want to rely on the remote.
The redesigned scroll wheel works wonderfully. It works like a laptop's track pad, and I have not had any problems with it. An optional clicking sound gives some feedback when you're scrolling, which I've found helpful.
The organizational abilities of iTunes allow you to deal with the thousands of songs you can upload to the player. The iPod itself organizes the songs by artist, album, song name, genre, etc., but iTunes also gives you the option of building playlists. So if you're in for a six-hour flight, for example, you can select the six hours of music you want to hear before you leave, synch the iPod and then press play.
Speaking of synching, the Firewire connection makes it fast, even if you're dealing with hundreds of songs. This alone makes it worth the price.
I like the headphones that came with the iPod. I found the sound to be very good. I'm not a professional musician or sound technician, so maybe I'm missing something when some folks ding the quality of the headphones, but to these ears, it sounds better than any other personal audio device I've ever owned. Good bass sounds, no distortion. I even heard new things in songs I thought I knew intimately.
The case is prone to getting fingerprints on it, but just wipe it off with a soft cloth. It will also scratch, so try to take care of it. It is extremely durable, however, so although it may not look brand new for 10 years, it will likely still be working. More than you can say for many products.
And contrary to what many say, you can turn the iPod off. All you do is hold down the play/pause button for a few seconds, and it shuts off. Otherwise, it goes to sleep and then powers down fully.
All in all, this is the best MP3 player out there. It even does a few other things, like keeps track of phone numbers and calendar appointments. If you've got the cash, get one. If you don't have the cash, save up for it. You'll be glad you did.

By jake189
It's been over two months since my iPod has come in. Not since I got my first Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1987 had I had so much fun with an electronic device.
This is simply the best audio device on the planet, the ability to have thousands of songs in your pocket is unbelievable. Other MP3 players that claims to be pocket sized are probably referring to cargo pants or something, my iPod has been able to fit inside every pocket in my wardrobe. Compared to any other device on the market right now the iPod stands alone in design, capability and ease of use.
The main asset of this device is freedom; I can alternate from over 200 albums, listening to Aphex twins one moment, Garbage the next, Stereolab, Portishead, the Cure, 2001 soundtrack or I can listen to customized playlists from iTunes, I have a playlist for every mood and occasion.
Sound quality is great with the included earphones, the new carrying case and remote rounds out the package nicely and adds alot of value to the device. It has amazing compatibility with Apple iTunes and navigating the iPod is intuitive, I let my girlfriend's teenage sister use it and she had a song playing in ten seconds with no instruction on how to use it.
The design is quite attractive, it draws a lot of attention, and people who have little interest in music just like to hold it and look at it.
The price, while high, is worth every penny. How much would you pay for a 100 CD changer? How much would you pay for a 10 GB harddrive that fits in your pocket? How much more for some PDA functionality and upgradable firmware. That's how I rationalize the purchase price of this device and have no regrets.
Bottom line: If you love music and love to take all of it with you, then this device should be on the top of your list. If you have a mac then this should be your only choice really.

By jbembe
Before the advent of the iPod, MP3's were something peripheral to what I cared about. Who needs to download music and burn CD's when you can simply purchase them from the store legitimately? Once Apple announced the iPod, I immediately signed up to get the new flat-panel iMac. Once that came I got the iPod and converted my music collection into ~30gigs of memory. Now instead of trying to alphebatize my CD collection, I try to fit my most important music onto my 10gig iPod, create music lists that match any occasion or capture any mood, etc. The iTunes software is born for freaks like me, you can create smartlists that automatically choose songs of any genre, any star rating, play count and lets you listen to it. It also updates the list everytime another song matches that category. I spend hours going through every song I own to rate it 1-5 stars, and creating playlists that automatically select groups of my rated songs. The coolest thing in the iPod is that you can play songs randomly by artist, by genre, by album, or by individual song. I almost can't wait for songs to end to find out what song is next. A definite necessity for anyone interested in music and finding creative methods for bringing songs that you own to life. An additional note, I just happened to buy the 10 gig two months before the 20 gig came out at the same price! Bummer. I would walk everywhere with the ipod on and occasionally at work the earphone cord would get caught and rip out of my ears and the jack. Well, this did some damage to the lip of the jack, but the phones still worked so no problem. When they released the 20gig they also released a remote which I wanted. Because the jack was damaged, the remote wouldn't work and there's no way to fix the jack. The guy at the store "felt my pain" and gave me a warranty part, which happened to be a brand new unit. You can't beat this product, nor apple as a company. Your investment will be well worth it!!!
