Customer Reviews
It's about the iPod, not the reviewer...
Just ignore the simpleton from June 12, 2005 who talked about the iPod charger being incompatible with overseas 220v. Like your laptop, all you need is a cheap adaptor and plug it into the wall socket. There's absolutely no risk of damaging a US spec iPod if you travel outside the country - I`ve done it plenty of times. On the other hand, taking your iPod on vacation without your charger is a tad foolish - hardly Apple's fault!
I'm often discouraged to see people who post reviews on Amazon that are more to do with their own shortcomings rather than the product itself. The 60GB Photo is my 2nd iPod. Yes it's a little expensive, but I use it daily and find it to be a first rate MP3 player.
5 Stars for quality and -1 star for design = 2 stars
The Ipod is great only when you are being around your house or the car. What about people, who are going camping, or flying overseas (the charger is not compatible with 220V) The battery is not removable!!!
I went on vacation and forgot my charger. Boy was I disappointed especially finding out that I didn't charge the unit before I left.
Apple did not make the battery removable at least I could buy an extra one, like Treo 650 a cell phone and MP3 player.
After a year or two the rechargeable battery needs to be replaced with the new one by sending the unit to Apple. Is Apple moving back to 30 years old technology???
I am sure that a lot of people thinking about it, but they are still buying Ipods because of the marketing and good sound of the unit.
Unacceptible
My music collection spans well over 5000 songs, very close to 6000. The ID3 tags in my collection are an utter mess. Some songs are from Japan and their ID3 tags have the original kanji for their title/artist/album. Some of the artist tags are mispelled, which makes an extra entry in the artist list which makes lists longer and finding specific songs harder. Some songs just don't have any tags in the artist/album field at all.
For a library as large as mine, I use a broad genre>artist>album nested format, which means I never have to look at more than 50 choices at a time and I can use any folder manipulation to make broad changes instead of having to find id3 tag editors and correcting each and every file. Unfortunately, I have to abandon all of this and spend countless hours fixing all 3000 or so incorrect tags if I want to get any usefulness out of my ipod. Singles, normally stored away in their own folder just for such, instead add an extra entry to the artist or album lists just for one or two songs.
To add icing on the cake, there doesn't seem to be any meaningful manipulation of the music library possible with the ipod itself. If you messed up a playlist, you're stuck with it until you can get to a computer. There's an "on the go" playlist that can be built with the ipod itself, but that's about the extent of its usefulness.
It'd otherwise be a nice, stylish and compact player, but there's no way to make use of 60 gigs with an interface this clunky.
