First of all, I have to say how much I absolutely love my iPod. I am really enjoying using it and having all of my cd's on there (and I have many, many, many cd's). It's such an amazing product and I only wish I'd bought one earlier.
Secondly, I have to tell people out there that if you are like me (or what I used to be like), don't think that this is some complex piece of equipment that you won't be able to use. My biggest concern had always been how to download music onto it and everyone kept telling me just how easy it was to do that. I never believed anyone because everyone swears by how easy it is and I've heard that all before without it actually being easy. This however ... is super easy to use. Just put your cd into the computer and itunes asks you if you want to import the cd. You say yes (untick any songs you don't want) and after you've done a few cd's, you plug the iPod into the computer and sit back while it downloads for you. I wish I'd known earlier.
Itunes is easy too to use. The only problem I have with it here in Australia, is the variety is poor and minimal. We don't have great R&B or hip hop music to download, and no movies or new TV shows. I wish Australia would get with the program and move their behinds.
The quality in the sound and picture (for music videos) are both superb and I really really enjoy this. I have downloaded close to over 650 cd's and I'm not even halfway through my capacity. It's the best invention of late and I hope that people who think it's complex to operate would read this and understand that if I can do it; anyone can. I hope you love your iPod as much as me. And PS. ... Black is the only way to go.
