- daigakuinsei, on 10/12/2007, -6/+82Article overlooks the part where it breaks and you have to ship it back to Apple to get it fixed.
- monticello, on 10/12/2007, -1/+66Coming from someone that loves his iPod... this is painfully accurate
- jkoke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48Yet, you still find the time and energy to read and comment on an iPod story. How's that sublimated envy working out for you?
- dan537, on 10/12/2007, -4/+51I don't own a Heretushi, I don't want a Heretushi and I won't recommend it to anyone anytime soon. Still, buried as lame.
- JustinPM, on 10/12/2007, -4/+45Well, then so does the Walkman, the Gameboy, the PS2, the washer and dryer, the can opener, the keyboard, the mouse, LCDs, the Internet, MP3, underwear, overwear, and Dr. Seuss.
- bennomatic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39Don't forget about the heartbreaking time you grab your MacBook remote instead of your 1st gen shuffle and find that you're going to be stuck without music during your jog. Sigh.
- Kbennett, on 10/12/2007, -4/+36The iPod will go down as one of the greatest marketing triumphs in modern history; and deservedly so.
- exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32One more idiot with overly complex html screwing up duggmirror.
- RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Don't forget diamonds or the DVD.
- bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31Even an Apple fanboy like myself has got to agree with this comment.
Thank god for Apple care. - Pie_Man, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28Same list...but not from a fanboy perspective
-----------------------------------------------------
Phase 1 - Buy Ipod because after weighing all of the options...it is still the best deal
Phase 2 - Buy different headphones so that you are not an immediate mugging target
Phase 3 - Spend time trying to use the thing without touching stupid, bloated, and cumbersome ITunes software. Amarok works just fine.
Phase 4 - Enjoy until technology changes to where memory, form factor, or battery life warrants another music device. - ginty, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22@Dan
You may not want a Heretushi and not recommend it to anyone anytime soon, but you do pwn Heretushi. - atgunning, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Some people digg the articles for future reading - you know, like bookmarking.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I Digg articles for future reading because Digg is a "Social BOOKMARKING" website.
After I've read the article I either leave it Dugg (if it was good) or I un-Digg it (if it was bad)... - Oatmeal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Sorry everyone, our crappy hosting tanked after a few hundred visitors. We'll have it back up shortly.
- ajwitte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Any mirrors that aren't "Article not found"?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I don't have to agree - I've got an iPod Photo that hasn't given me a second of trouble. I'd still be using my old 4G if I hadn't dropped it while the drive was being accessed. (Head crashes are not a pretty thing)
- messs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15http://www.rockbox.org/
http://www.rockbox.org/download/ - jonj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1085 diggs and site's already down. gotta love it.
- clinko, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12I was thinking this same thing. I'm on my 4th ipod (still only bought 1)
- nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I don't see why dragging and dropping tracks in iTunes is harder than doing it to your device directly. It's basically the same thing, no?

/nazi - 1421, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6As for iPods being crap -- I thought i might weigh in.
I'm still on my first iPod, a 3G 10GB refurbished (from the time when those cost $200 on eBay :-?)
It's scratched and dented, but still going strong, performance and power-wise. - stylerm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6So you know, you should not jog with hard-drive based players or they will die in a few months. If you want an iPod (or any mp3 player) for jogging get a flash based one. I don't know what you are doing with it, but they really should be more open about that when people buy it.
- lane.montgomery, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You can also change the options on iTunes to let you manually manage your music on your iPod or pretty much any other mp3 player. That means drag-n-drop.
- automan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I've owned mine for ages and never had a problem.
- somerandomnerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5There are plenty of alternatives to iTunes- Wikipedia even has a list of them.
However, if you've got a bunch of music that you've bought from the iTunes Music Shop, and over the course of the last 2 years or so have gone through all your music collection rating each song out of five stars, then creating an intricate network of smart playlists to give you a high rotation of the tracks you like, play songs you haven't heard for a while rather than ones you've heard recently and so on (like me), then you're *****.
My iPod has locked me into iTunes, and ironically, iTunes has in turn locked me into Windows.
(Oh yeah, and try checking the "enable disk use". Might help you.) - gwayne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Its funny how its trendy to buy iPods and trendy to hate them all at the same time. I have had a 5g iPod for over a year, used it every day, and not had a single problem with it. Is it the player for everyone? No, obviously not. But if you want a decent player and dont care if it doesnt play anything but mp3s (which is all I have) then its definitely a viable option.
- NoSpaceForRent, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1046 people have dugg this article since it went unavailable. I know we all have our favorite topics, but I'm kinda for reading the article before we digg it. I mean, people can do what they want, it just seems to me unless they have ESP or some super ISP that is so fast they can read articles from the past, people are diggin who aren't reading. I'm not too sure what ESP is, I just like the contradiction between ESP and ISP.
- billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Don't forget to Undigg if you end up not liking the story!
- superkendall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The problem is that many of us are annoyed those of you that use Digg as a bookmarking site. I really wish they had a way to digg for bookmark vs. voting a story on the merits. I only digg when I like a story and want OTHERS to see it.
- SuburbanDave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Sometimes I digg an article for the great comment thread. I'd be shocked if I was the only one who did that.
- austindkelly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I am going to DIGG this because right now i cant get to it because the server is down. So I will try later.
Untill then I will continue to read and judge all of you based soley on your comments. - gwayne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Now that its back up the article is funny and fairly accurate imo. :-)
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6The taste of small animals is not all that bad, once you get used to it.
- osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -9/+12Feed me a stray cat.
I have to return some video tapes. - dignick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've also had an iPod photo for well over a year now, heading towards two, with some pretty rough and heavy use. Absolutely no problems at all. Not even with the headphones (which I still use :p).
- shosterman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Or what about the phase where it gets stolen (as mine did on Friday)? Now do I open the Nano from Ameritrade or sell it and buy a Zune? Hmm...
- zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I did just about the same thing.
The reason for buying my ipod is that it made the
perfect stealth 40 usb and firewire hard drive I could carry into and out of work.
Using it as a music player was just frosting on the cake. - robotsongs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Umm... digg is a bookmarking site. When a site is down I digg it so that I can come back to it later after the torrent of diggers has subsided.
Use it like a bookmark folder, not a HotorNot listing. - hannahmar, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Hahaha. I love it. Gave me a good laugh this morning.
- Araya213, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I've had the same 5g since a few weeks after launch and it still works like a champ.
- ericesque, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My journey
1) gets glorious new ipod
2) listens to music on ipod for a few months
3) realizes my glorious new ipod is really just a glorious 30gb external hdd.
4) my external hdd has a click wheel... why? - mwosh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3They left out the phase of having your iPod stolen. Feels very strange not having one around.
But yes, other than that entirely accurate. - Skinner72, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I just got a new nano which I like very much in terms of how it sounds and how it categorizes music. What I don't like is the process for moving files onto the system. Itunes is okay software but I'd rather be able to drag and drop files of my own choosing from any computer rather than being tied to a single itunes installation.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Drivl lives again :)
- masterofsw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is a feature I wish I could add. It would be nice if I could bookmark an article instead of digging it to save for later. I often digg article that I might not like later just to save it until I am at home.
- waz67, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I loved my iPod until the wheel stopped responding. No matter what I tried, resets, running down the battery, etc, nothing worked. So I left it alone for a week, tried it again, and it worked perfectly, and has worked fine ever since. Except for the part where the response is sluggish every time I plug it into the car charger for some reason. Now I love it again, but not quite as much as before.
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6And yet, iPod sales are still skyrocketing. Apparently people love to keep buying things that break down or can't play anything except iTunes music or blow up or turn your children into communists (sorry, I'm trying to cover all known iPod FUD. It's hard to keep up.)
- autoy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7I had a good laugh with that, thanx :)
