ITunes Software....
 

Hi all

I was well impressed with a friends 40 GB Ipod with which he used Itunes software.

Can I just download the Itunes software and use as a front end to play my MP3s WMA CD etc until such time I can invest in an Ipod ?

Thanks Mike

PS Where is the cheapest place to get one (Ipod)

Yes and Ebay.

Thank and you

http://www.apple.com/itunes to download itunes (you will need quicktime as well, but the itunes installer installs that.

I personally would be careful buying iPods off ebay, as there are a lot of iPod related scams on eBay. Usually, they set the price very low (£10-£15), but all the successful bidder gets is an address (which may or may not be valid) where they can purchase an iPod for the full retail price. I am not saying that all the iPods on sale are scams, but be careful.

Thanks for this I am off to New York in Novmember so I might wait until then. If I can :(

If you get a ipod mini they are nice and small and cheaper but it is only 4gb

You cannot play protected WMA files though.

Mike-I bought my 20 gig iPod at the Apple Store in NY (Greenwich Village I think from memory) in February this year, & it cost me $300 (approx £175 due to the $ being so weak at the time) :tu:

You won't find a better way of getting a retail/boxed iPod IMO.

also consider the iriver offerings the ipod is not the best hard drive based mp3 player - but it certainly looks sexy and does a good job.

Surely key requirements in any personal stereo?

I can't really comment on the iriver MP3 players as I have never used one, but all the reviews I have read say that the iriver, while it is good, is not as good as the iPod.

But, the iPod costs more (retail anyway).

Just FYI, iTunes for Windows requires Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP to run.

iTunes won't play WMA tracks directly, but has a facility to convert (unprotected) WMA into AAC (iTunes' default codec).
