The decision for Apple Nano was quite objectively, the cheapest MP3 player with 16 GB, which is not exactly cheapest chinaware. That's why I am on iTunes and taken in the Apple-nonsense ...
After I had then installed iTunes (Win7) and have fought my way through the Apple registry, I first had the automatic search for music stall ... However, iTunes is quite comfortable when the (previously tagged) music via drag ' Drop pushes into it.
If one is then first by increased by Syncronisationsprinzip of Apple, it quite reasonable and the filling of the iPods is quick of hand.
Very good, I like the audio book management. iTunes and the iPod is different if desired namely music and audio books from each other (although both .mp3 files). You can then listen to the iPod audiobook, interrupt it and listen to music. Then you can make the audio book just continue where you left off (or 30 seconds before). The iPod remembers where he always was.
Is also very nice that if one of an artist has only one album, when choosing the artist ends up directly in the album and you do not get offered as with most MP3 players, a selection of albums, where you can always just one thing can select.
The operation of the iPod is beyond reproach and the best thing is I've ever seen in an MP3 player. It's just fun to browse through their music collection through the cover images are helping course at ;-)
Battery life is pretty good if you can Bluetooth. The other hand draws powerfully on the battery. I'll be in regular operation out about a week.
Bluetooth itself is not to be sneezed at, if you have a car with Bluetooth, you can save the extra music in the car. Only you should buy a car plug.
The most important, the audio quality is top notch. You can hear even with silence in the track is not the slightest noise (Sennheiser in-ear headphones) and you can hear in the headphones otherwise still. The sound is great, you can hear the difference between low and high-resolution mp3 files out well.
What I'm missing is a parametric EQ that makes predefined EQ whatever little sense.
After six months, is to say, I'm still excited and would buy me no other more!
