I have an adaptor so i can plug mine into the cd changer port of my car stereo. nice.

there is a sharp click at the end of every track, ipod automatically puts a gap of about 2 seconds betwewen each track which makes listening to a mix a pain in the nads.
about 5% of tracks copied dont fully copy so a even tho a track shows on the ipod it only plays half of it. my ipod freezes at least twice a week. it scratches easily.and id tags are a pain in the ass, i thought that you could just copy over your music and keep yourcurent directory struckture, but no, they all have to have id tags.
Its not good for backing up your mp3s as the ipod renames all your files using numberic numbering. etc etc.its a great piece of equipment but its got lots of bugs
*waits for the onslaught

how do you have no id tags at all? try running it through mp3 rage or a similar program that'll at least put the filename in the id tag in a batch process. Then just drop your folder into iTunes (assuming you have a mac) and then sort by date added, select the ones you just imported, press command+i and change the genre for the whole lot of them!
yeah, that click is lame. hopefully they fix that in the software and add the cross fading. I think the ones that don't play all the way are corrupted mp3s, but that's what you get for using Kazaa...keep searching!

i have 15 gigs of mp3s and you say rename the genre to pop, ya thatll work.. not
and the mp3s play fine on my computer, most recoreded from cds, and playt well off a memory stick, and im not mac, and dont give me the ' you should use a mac' argument, because theyre advertised as cross platform but clearly are not quite theyre yet.
I hope the bugs are just firmware

but 10 out of 10 to apple for marketing and packaging.

is that click for real? and is it on the latest iPod series?
and you can't get rid of the 2 sec. pause?
damn... :/

Ya, the new ipods. But most iPod fans dont seem to mind it as they'd never talk badly of there precious toy.
Nobody has confirmed that it can be fixed with a software update either.
http://www.ipodlounge.com has some good info

i am in serious doubt now.. as there are many many and i mean MANY good alternatives out there... but I chose the iPod for the looks and the good Apple integration... but for real.. those bugs do suck!!
I'll rethink my purchse plans for now... hmm..
- sexypixel0
I'd wait for the software update cy.
But dont get me wrong, its still a great little toy, just hope they get rid of those BIG problems
- 4cY0
you really think it will be fixed by a software update?
is it true you can carry other data on it as well...
i was even told of someone booting his mac from the iPod (os-X) which can come in really handy when you want to format your HD's...
tell me all! :)

YEah my IPOd rocks the house just the price of them went down and the memory went up since I bought mine so I already feel ripped off.
- sexypixel0
ya ,great for storage, you can even trasfer text documents onto it and read them from the ipod screen. Ive also read that you can record 10 seconds of sound onto it in mono trough the earphones, and theyre realeasing a dock where you will be able to record stereo..
its a rumor but some tecnichain took an ipod apart and discover the ability to record stereo so it think it'll grow and grow.
and i think the ipod will have far more accesrories made for it than any of its competitors.someone posted a link to an accesory that you plug into the ipod and it sends a radio signal to a free frequancy on your radio so you can listen to it on your car stereo without the need to connect it
- 4cY0
that radio-signal option would be frigging sweet!!!
i just found this btw:
- arlo0
I have a new 15 and it doesnt click OR add 2 seconds... using Ephpod for syncing. Are you using musicmatch?
- arlo0
I've also heard about the unused record option.. supposedly 2 pins in the bottom are for recording and not used currently; hardware is being developed to use it or something.
As for the FM transmitter:

clicking problem
- 4cY0
is there a way to receive radio on it? is there an accessory out there to do that?
and are the ones here telling about the click using it with Windows?
sorry for all the questions.. i appreciate all advice and help!
- sexypixel0
its both pc and mac, apple are aware of it.
go here 4cy, a good forum with all the problems discussed
