Apple 20 GB iPod M8741LL/Aß(2nd Generation)

Product Description

Apple presents iPod - the first MP3 player to pack a countless number of songs and 10 hours of battery life into a stunning package you can literally take everywhere. It's your entire music collection. With no moving parts, the iPod's touch-sensitive scroll wheel is less vulnerable to dust, dirt or sand and more durable. The touch-sensitive scroll wheel is designed to retain its crisp feel throughout the lifespan of your iPod. There's even a clicker that makes a tiny clicking sound when the scroll wheel is moving.Small though it is, the iPod packs a lot of storage. The number of songs it holds depends on the compression rate you choose. At a 160Kbps compression rate (the default setting for encoding MP3s in iTunes), 5GB equals approximately 1, 000 songs, or about 100 CDs. That's how big it is on the inside. And with that much space, you might also find yourself storing documents, files and applications on your iPod in FireWire disk mode. iPod's rechargeable lithium polymer battery gives you 10 hours of continuous playback. In a hurry to get it recharged? Fast-charge the battery to 80% of capacity in an hour, and get it fully recharged in three hours. With an industry-leading 20 minutes of skip protection, iPod keeps playing without missing a beat. iPod has a 32MB solid-state memory cache, meaning that it has no mechanical or moving parts. Skip protection works by continually preloading up to 20 minutes of music into the cache, so your iPod is not affected by sudden movements.The 10GB and 20GB iPod models include a clip-on wired remote control that lets you fast-forward or rewind a track, play, pause and adjust volume using just one hand. They also include a designer carrying case with belt clip that protects your iPod from the elements and lets you clip it to your belt, backpack or purse.

Goodbye Walkman.......2006-01-16

I got the chance to test the mp3 waters when my venerable Sports Walkman gave up the ghost, and now that my 44 year old eyes are making it hard to focus on close objects, the iPod's clear, large screen seemed a better choice; however, I wasn't sure about spending hundreds for a new iPod, so I got a used iPod: a second generation 20 gb wonder, at a fraction of the cost of a new iPod. Not only does it sound very good -- almost as good as any portable cassette player I ever owned -- but it is a paragon of attractive design. The original headphones were damaged and the battery will be spent soon, but otherwise the iPod was in excellent shape, even the scratches were few and minor (the original owner admonished me to always use the black belt clip carrying case Apple includes with each iPod.)

I replaced the headphones with the AUDIO OUTFITTERS SX50 ezEars Earphones for the Apple iPod, which are comfortable and for the price (less than $30) sound excellent. The only beef I have with the sound is that certain guitar tracks -- especially Jeff Beck for some reason -- seem unusually quiet (this is very rare though.) The battery can be easily replaced these days through a number of reputable sellers but for now the battery serves well enough for my needs (mostly jogging.)

The iPod is so intuitive to use that you don't even look at it while jogging: if you want to change a song or adjust the volume, just reach over and touch the wheel (great for older eyes.) The music will briefly skip on occasion if you are running hard, but its not serious unless you are a devoted audiophile. The FireWire data exchange and charging setup is fast, effortless and reliable (I'm using iTunes and a Mac though, the reviews I've read here indicate PC users are having a much tougher time, or were a few years ago.)

My used iPod earned pretty good marks for a device that is supposedly outdated. If you don't need to be on the cutting edge this little device can offer you real value for your money. Its time to finally say goodbye to the Walkman for good -- what am I going to do with all those tapes?

Cons? I've become a podcast junkie: I hardly listen to the radio anymore, whether I'm in the mood for music or chatter. I've also become an iPod accessory addict. For an iPod this old you can get extras for a pittance (today I got a half dozen skins for 14 bucks, including shipping.) For jogging with this iPod get a XtremeMac(XTM-IPS-SPW-10)Sportwrap for iPod, its not fancy but it works. I've also found myself lusting for some pretty expensive headphones, and maybe a mod or two . . . these things are like a musical addiction.

One quick sidenote: when you recharge your iPod, the best way to prolong your battery life is to use it for a few hours (optimally one or two) and then recharge it afterwards (for example, after excercise or a commute.) The worst thing you can do is to drain it completely and then recharge it fully. This seems counterintuitive when compaired to other electronic devices but all the data I've been able to find confirms it.

Addendum: I've been using this iPod for almost two years now and if anything my opinion of it has only improved: the battery life has always been short (around 4 hours) but has not degraded too much in the time I've used it, so I've yet to need a replacement. I don't know if this would save battery life or not, but I pretty much leave my iPod plugged into some kind of outlet all the time: either my Netalog TransPod All-In-One - Power adapter (car) + battery charger when its in the car or Apple iMac G5 Desktop with 17" M9843LL/A (1.8 GHz PowerPC G5, 512 MB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) when its at home.

I've encountered only three problems: it sometimes (rarely) skips while running, it froze once (a kid showed me how to reset it), and once while driving the light decided to stay on at night (again, a reset solved this.) I also find I'm using the clock, alarm, calendar and even the brickout game frequently. Pretty high marks for the little machine, and I've come to really like its looks -- even more than the newer iPods. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Ipod is rad.......2004-07-21

I really love my Ipod. It has the coolest UI ever. I figured it out in no time flat.

The MP3 Player that only Apple could make!.......2003-09-12

As a long time PC/Windows user, I've always been impressed with Apple's equipment, but also always at a distance. After purchasing my new iPod, I'm wondering why I don't have more equipment from them. This product is one of the first I've purchased in some time that delivers exactly on its promises, worked immediately out of the box as expected, and was just too fun and easy to use. In fact, it took longer to install the FireWire card on my PC, then it did to install, configure and start loading songs onto my iPod.

I'm sure you can read the features this iPod offers elsewhere, but let me tell you that all of those features are indeed included and this device performs extremely well and plays songs as well or better than any other device I've owned. In fact, if you're anything like me, once you start using an iPod, you'll wonder what you did before. Playing music from CDs, even my personal mixes, now seems so antiquated.

Assuming you decide to purchase this, here are a few tips: 1) consider the 40GB model. Now that I have this, I wonder if more might be even better (I'm nowhere near my 20GB limit, but more is always better, right?!), 2) consider adding an auto power kit for recharging from the lighter for long trips, and 3) very seriously consider getting the FM transmitter to play iPod tunes over any FM radio (Belkin makes a great model for about $30).

After that, the hardest decision is which songs to load up and play first. Enjoy!

Some Disadvantages of the Apple ipod..........2003-08-06

I will make this short..yes, it is user friendly and simplified compared to other mp3 players. BUT it is almost TOO simplified. here are some of the things it lacks.
- No Line In jack for recording
- No USB capability (except for the new version, but that requires you to buy and adaptor
- Cannot drag and drop files like you can on the Archos Jukebox 20Gb (requires Matchbox to modify files on player)
- a bit pricey compared to other mp3 players
- It's Apple, enough said..
- only can create playlists through Matchbox
- since it is firewire and most people dont have firewire cards you much purchase one, but not only that if you ever want to use it as a portable swap drive to share files, the other computer would need the card too.

iPOD Dreams.......2003-07-08

I just recieved my iPOD today, and think its amazing. It is small compact and easy to navigate. The only "bad" things about it is that it picks up fingerprints in a heartbeat, but other than that it is pure perfection.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent monitor / TV .......2007-05-24

I wanted the ability to watch TV on my computer and at first I got a TV tuner card with remote etc, what an awful idea, software would hang up remote would not work etc.

The planar XP17W has been exceptional, the ease of using the remote with out necessarily having the computer turned on. It has great picture quality with the basic built-in speakers. I added better logitech speakers.

I haven't had any stripes or other issues with the tuner. I also plugged a small coby progressive scan DVD player and had no problems with the image.

There's also something to be said about them offering a 3 year standard warranty, which others don't. I thought I'd need it but fortunately never had to use it as it's probably a better product. Support has also been great, I lost the remote and they sent another one for free.

No problems, but could be better........2005-12-11

I like my planar TV and have had it for a year now with no problems. It's not my main TV (I use a Kreisen), but it works well if I want to watch TV and don't need a big screen.

I agree with the other reviewer that the progressive scan feature was not functional with my unit and that the dark screens look horrible unless the contrast is turned up high.

On the other hand, I can watch old TV shows on it and movies if I am not interested in a really fantastic picture. I have the Kreisen for that!

It's a more than acceptable small TV for using for broadcast TV.

Dead pixels, bad tuner.......2004-05-14

The tuner on my LCD is awful. White stripes going across the screen all the time. It delivers the same result using the Composite signal (A/V). Using the component (Cr, Cb, Y) gives a decent image only, but it is not HDTV, so forget about the Progressive scan DVD players. It will work as a computer monitor only if your video card detects it right, otherwise you will end up with black lateral regions without image. Not a good buy. Moreover, the company will only exchange the monitor for you if you have more than 3 dead pixels. Mine came with 4 to 6 bad pixels - lucky me! Absurd!

Simply the best for black and white.......2007-05-30

I love this paper for my black and white photographs - gives the pictures velvet-like quality. (Also no ugly spots where the paper touches the glass, if you don't use photo mats.)

For color I personally prefer glossy...

Epson Matte Paper S041257.......2007-03-18

Excellent paper for my printing black/white pictures and also color pictures. I get good quality prints and I am well satisfied with this product. The price is very, very competitive and I can't see using any other kind of paper for my printing needs at this time.

Clear Prints.......2007-01-04

I use this paper to print out the original copies of my association newsletter. It makes VERY clear original prints, which then are used to make color copies for our members. Much better than printing on regular inkjet paper. Also, I use it for printing pictures taken in the classroom. The students can cut and mount their pictures when doing writing projects.

Matte paper review.......2005-10-03

Great paper-The Epson printer worked just fine and the images on this paper were just like the photograph-Only thing is the price!!!!Should be lower-other than that this is GREAT paper

price AND performance.......2004-11-22

I've used Epson's Premium Glossy, Colorlife and Heavyweight Matte. The Matte is far cheaper and gives beautiful results. I've actually found that I like the Matte best for framing. It has a less reflective surface and looks more 'arty' than photographic. But I wouldn't recommend it for architectural, detailed photographs. A good benefit of both the Matte and Colorlife is that they have the longest rated life without fading of any paper for use with Epson's dye based printers.
