Title: iPod/iTunes questions
Post by: Phoenix Dark on January 07, 2007, 03:20:01 AM
I'm kinda thinking about getting an iPod. School starts on Monday, and once again I plan on walking. It would be nice to listen to music while doing that. So as soon as I find a cheap iPod Nano (lol) I'll get it, but I have questions
1. I have iTunes on my computer already. When I get the iPod would it be possible to buy a card with a certain amount of money/points/whatever that go towards purchasing music? Or do I have to use a credit card?
2. Would it be possible for me to put various recordings that I've made (using a mic) onto the iPod? I would like to be able to record myself reading notes from school, and then listen to them while I do things like walk to school or level grind in WoW.
3. The iPod Nano costs like $150. Is there any place I can buy it cheaper lol?

Viz doesn't know what he is talking about. iPods are about as easy to use as they get. 1 and 2 on your list are easily done. I can;t speak on 3. I can do 3, but I can't make you any promises.

i believe drag and drop is one step thus easier. I have an ipod shuffle

Maybe get an iPod off of ebay, if you're looking for a cheap one?

I have a Nano. It's pink. :) I don't know how much it cost because Ecrofirt bought it for me [4-year anniversary, maybe? I forget] but I'm certain it cost less than my brother's iPod Nano. He has 2 gigs and I only have 1, but 1 gig is fine with me. :heartbeat
