MP3 players forum: 12 things I HATE about IPOD NANO

Real great review.

One thing I wonder about: Somebody should lodge an antitrust case against Apple for forcing people to use iTunes, and not giving any options to the customer!

1. There are so many ways to get this unit charged... do you listen in your car? Many kits also charge the bat;
2. So make lots of playlists;
3. It has a sleep mode... did you learn about your unit?
4. You can "group change" lots of items in the songs list in itunes - thus you can group songs any way you like with any tags you like;
5. Then why did you buy the Nano? You are only complaining about your own lack of research into what will make you happy;
6. Buy Shure's earbuds and treat yourself to better audio, no matter what you listen to (!);
7. Flip it over;
8. Again - your choice to buy in the first place;
9. Music or pictures - which is more important?
10. Mine has never died on a single flight. You must not have much else to do in your life if you are always listening to your iPod.
11. See #5 & #8 above;
12. Ever try resetting it? It is microprocessor based and all need a reboot once in a while

Your remarks are not helpful to anyone. You just wanted to complain - try politics more people with bigger problems!

i guess there are always ***** that get offensed by anything

yeah, I see there are other programs that appeard that let You manage the Ipod (like this one http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/featpw.php ). Still, there are some inconveniences (but somewhat insignificant)

PS. that message (lame..) wasn't valid for Your post

1) Apple once bundled the charger, they need to do so again.
2) Hmmm agreed
3) Wrong - I listen to music/podcast on sleep mode every night. It also has Alarm.
4) There are advantages to ID3 Tags - take for instance "smart playlist" just to name one.
5) Others corrected you here
6) You can't expect the best earbuds bundled, but they are good enough for most. I just bought Sennheiser CX 300 which is great.
7) True - you should be able to adjust the backlight.
8) Give it a little time, cost will drop as more and more companies compete. I already noticed drop in prices on certain accessories from over a year ago, but yes most are still expensive.
9) Dont think that's something people are asking for?
10) Hmmm - better battery is always good for any of the other players with the exception of Sony.
11) Dont think that's something people are asking for? But available as accessories.
12) Tue but again the same with other players
a.) Try resetting the iPod?
b.) Ive noticed that on my girlfriends Nano, yup a bug.

I will add lucky #13: On my older iPod (3G), I was able to control the contrast, now I can't on the (5G). I would be able to save battery by turning off the backlight, now doing so on my 5G the screen is so dark it is unreadable, forcing me to keep backlight on draining the battery even faster.

Valid complaints I would like to see myself, but if they never update it, there are still enough good in the player that for outweigh the bad.
