RE: OT : Possible iPOD bulk buy

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

Yep, I've got the 20Gb iPOD, and I've used MusicMatch for years, but
the
version they've shipped with the iPOD is buggy (drops the last letter
from
the tag name for example).  MM claim to be working on a new release,
but
given Apple's reputation for usability, it's a shame they've used a
3rd-party to supply the software.  It's also bugged in the sync
process - it
takes about 20 mins to refresh the tracks (which means loading about
5-10
new tracks), or 15 to delete the while lot and re-upload (??).

The iPOD is, however, a fantastic bit of kit - wouldn't be without
it.  I
got an iROCK (www.iROCK.com) whilst I was in the States ($29.99) so I
can
connect into the car stereo (and a DrBOT car charger), and just got an
excellent case for it from www.softwareandthings.com ($24.99, + $5
shipping).  The case that the iPOD ships with isn't very
practical.

Good luck on getting a discount - it seems to be a bit of a closed
market.

Pete

Paul,

Since the iPOD can be used as a firewire HDD I would have thought
transferring MP3's was just simply a case of copying files from A -
B.  And
the MusicMatch software helps you organize your MP3's.

I haven't used Music Match with an iPOD, but as a PC juke box, ripping
etc
etc it is a fantastic piece of software IMHO.

My brother got one of these - great bit of kit but the supplied
software
is pants (musicmatch). It kept on failing during the transfer (but no
error message) on several PC's. There is a free bit of software called
EphPod though that replaces most of the functions except for Internet
tagging and ripping etc.

I'm toying with the idea of buy two 20gb iPods
(http://www.apple.com/ipod). 
I've not done any research into possible discounts, but would anyone
else be 
interested in getting a bulk buy together and seeing what price we
could
get. 
If there is interest, I would also arrange a bulk buy of firewire cards
for 
those that need them.

Email me directly rather than buy the main list.
