iPod questions & tech support

I was looking at getting a 20GB Creative Zen. Are they any good?

I ended up buying something called the Archos Gmini. Small size and 20GB. Pretty good sound quality too. I'm impressed so far.

not bad, looked at the price and its cheaper than the zen...whats the software like for transferring files?

[Evolution]

All you need is Windows Media Player 10! It will rip quickly and easily onto the Archos just with that 

[J?]

Mine is broken right now I'm distraught!

I was thinking of buyng one but then I bought the Sony Ericsson W900i phone, with a 2 GB memory stick (high speed) so I don't need one. I have all the music I need in that... 2.5 GB of music is more than enough...

2.5 GB of music is more than enough...

Not for me - I had a 5gb and I was getting pissed because I had like 7.9gb at the time of music!  So I got a 20gb and then a 30!!

Well, I have 90 gigabytes of music on my PC, not including the lossless files. The question is, do I listen to all of them? And the more important question is, do I need all this music on the road with me?

The answer for me is simply NO.

So, my phone will do just fine for the next couple of years.

Yeah, I was talking about 7.9 that I listen to.  I get sick of a song fairly quickly...  so I need a lot of songs and videos to keep me amused ...  And I listen to my iPod at school during IT and writing and study times, and when I run and on the bus... so I use it 24/7 almost.

The phone sounds like a good option if you dont feel the need to have MEGA choice. 24/7

BTW - wowah 90 gig, man! 

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

90 gigs !!! are you sure they ain't gigabits ?

i didnt think you could find more than 5 gigs of good music in the ENTIRE world !

[Jim]

Yeah, but, it's AG...

He's not interested in good music.

I got an ipod nano for Chirstmas, that little machine works a lot for me.

I need some iTunes help... is there anyway to make a RANDOM playlist?!?!

I really like the "Smart Playlists" where you can limit it to specific albums, genres, artists, etc.  The problem is, I set it to pick random songs (and it does), but it ORGANIZES them by artist... so I have a bunch of random songs, but still in alphabetical order.  Can you get around this?

Or is there a way to play random songs through the iPod but limited to an album or genre?  The only thing I can find is the "Shuffle Songs" which includes them all...

Yeah, you should have a section called "Party Shuffle"  and it just choses random songs. 

[Eazy E]

Ok, thanks... I had never used this before, but is there a way to limit the Party Shuffle to a specific genre or album?  Like if I wanted to make a random playlist of Hip Hop songs... can you get the Party Shuffle to do this and then just copy the songs onto a playlist for your iPod?

You can limit it to a playlist - so make a playlist of all of the songs you would like to play in random, then down the bottom select Source: HipHop   (for example)

You are amazing.

It's like when a computer freezes, nothing happens when I push the buttons. It's an iPod nano 2GB. Has this happened to anybody who owns iPods before ?



Added:

Even when I connect it to the charging cable through the computer, it does nothing.

[kaasupoltin]

You cant use it if it's connected to computer.

[SuperMike]

The thing frozed when it wasn't connected, it still shows the name of the song I was playing.
