Question for those with an iPod

[dank7oo]

I recently won one in a contest (w00t) and I had a really simple question. If the batteries run out, do all the songs get deleted or do they remain on the hard drive?

I think they should probably remain because it is a hard drive like device inside, but any confirmation would be great.

Nope, they all stay on there even if your batteries run out...

I find batteries on my Ipod don't last long at all :( Maybe 5-6 hours max.

[dank7oo]

Yeah ... I figured as much (and thanks a ton Heather). I am taking it with my on my trip to Greece and Italy and I need something to do for the early morning bus rides (even bought a wattage converter to charge the batteries :)).

Awesome :D I'm charging mine right now for when I go out later, and I doubt it'll even last the ride downtown :P

I never really got the whole Ipod thing...what happened to good old fashioned CD players? And arent Ipod songs illegal? :confused:

there only illigealy if you havent bought them. ipods are great because they can prettymuch hold every song you'll ever want and then some 10000+ songs on one device..its great

[meatbeef]

agreed...

I can't live without mine now.

If you're traveling, swap your iPod earbuds for some generic black or gray earbuds.

It will lessen your chance of being pickpocketed or robbed. If you look like a tourist and they see the telltale white earbuds, it makes you a relatively easy mark.

Stolen iPods are practically as good as cash, and if a mugger sees the buds they know your good for at least a 300 dollar US piece of hardware.

Thats true cruciform... better change them with regular black earphones..... and i love the 40 GB on it.... man im still halfway there lol

but you have to pay for songs right.. its good and all but to me ill just buy the cd

[dank7oo]

Techincally you "should" buy what goes on it ... that was their plan anyways. As for the headphones, I hate the iPod ones anyways. I think they look kinda dumb :) lol.
