Should I upgrade Ipods?

[JonathonWally]

^It goes back to my original question. I have 948 songs on Itunes now, and I subscribe to podcasts. I want to still keep that stuff, but I know a 4 gig just isn't enough anymore. I guess in the long run it's not really that much (And 16 gigs is good for at least a few years). Also, I am wondering why can't I just upgrade my current ipod via a chip or something. I guess it wasn't designed for that kind of thing, but you can add memory to a computer, it shouldn't be that different with something like an Ipod. Of course I don't really know the logistics of it, so I'm really just curious.

Because it's not that big of a device, seriously, how many millimeters thick is it? And the piece of flash memory is soldered onto the board.

If you want a removable flash memory device, then that's what you should go buy.

Dude, check it out:

1. Spend the money for a new iPod. Keep iTunes.
2. Buy a non-Apple music player, convert your files to MP3s. No iTunes this way, but it's cheaper.
3. Stick with what you have.

Pick one of the above.

This isn't a difficult situation.

No it's not, since I made up my mind this afternoon. I can afford to get a new Ipod, so I'm going to, as kind of my big Christmas gift for the year. I don't think I can stick with what I have, even though it's still useful and I can still keep it, and not really sure how to convert the files, or at least I don't want to screw anything up. Still, I learned something from this thread today, which is always nice.

Make a playlist, burn it to an audio cd, then rip that cd back into itunes as mp3 files.

Conversion taken care off.

I have to say, when I saw the title with the underline, it looked like "Should I upgrade Toods?"

Yeah! Damn straight!. Don't take no crap!

So, what did you get? More importantly what color did you choose?

Haven't gotten it yet, but still thinking about staying with Blue, and the Nano 16 Gig.

Blue is a good choice, though I went with the purple. Go get it already, before you talk yourself out of it.

I know people rag on iPods, Apple, and iTunes a lot, but I have had nothing but good experiences with all. Perhaps there is a price premium, but you get what you pay for.

That's pretty much how I sit with all my Apple products including the iPhone and Macbook. It's such a luxury to not have the operating system come crashing down every time you accidently blow on the machine.

Unfortunately that quality comes with a heftier price tag.
