I do not like Apple ....

I never liked monopolies, but am inconsistent (tolerant?) enough to use good products anyway ...
and use with I mean in this case, listening to music - not a product to dissect or reamed me some little things - he who seeks finds, and "nobody is perfect"

I love my eyes, I would never come up with the idea on such a small screen movies to watch, for me is the iPod in addition a few photos exclusively a "player" for my music collection, the actual storage and processing thus takes place in the PC

there leaves me itunes every opportunity to organize my needs according to my - and thus every title, every album to find any interpreters or individually created playlists within seconds on the iPod - admittedly requires some patience and "learning by doing" in dealing with iTunes - but not pressed me in any given folder (where this possibility in iTunes of course is given)

the sound of my system is very good to excellent, whether classic or hard rock, probably always is also due to the recording and the medium from which it originates - in ordinary headphones should invest it, even if the supplied by no means are scrap, rather mediocrity and therefore not equal to the ipod ..
one's sound perception is so different as the people there are, so it's hardly objectively evaluate - at least I hear in some already oftgehörten securities things (guitar riffs or individual instruments of an orchestra out), which I had not heard ...

who puts on worth externals - chic is the part in black really - should use cases appropriate, for me it is a typically "hidden" (pocket, jacket, glove compartment) Subject-matter used, tracks on which are as inevitable as on of my favorite leather jacket ....

evening comes the iPod is almost always on the docking station (or in?) - so I can say about the capacity of the battery does not make relevant ...

my conclusion:

a strong buy recommendation for people,
- Which like creatively deal with iTunes and not looking for the convenience of predetermined folder strands ...
- Who want to keep their extensive music collection neatly by your own system ...
- Who hear with their own ears and not with laboratory values ​​or the opinions of others "experts" ...
- Which can overcome their aversion to Apple (the iPod is my only Apple product) or have never experienced ...
- Which are willing to quite a bit of money to spend, which on a GB, this is converted 160GB ipod unbeatable ...
(But who needs seriously 160GB?)
