iPOD Lite

[morgado]

Mac will launch a Lite version of iPOD. They say it's gonna support something like 800 musics ...
It will come in diferent colors and must cost something like $100 USD

To me it's nice, I even don't have this number of musics yet !!!!
And I hop it came cheaper to Brasil, because I really want one !!

[LollipopLustKil]

Only 800? Pffft.

I like this idea hopefully they will have it so people can put the memory in seperate depending on how much music they got.

Think it would be possible to put bigger HDDs into them?

[LollipopLustKil]

Of course it's possible, but a little harder than normal. If you're a huge tech junkie though, and knew exactly what you were doing, it's possible.

[LollipopLustKil]

Exactly what I mean.

I thought it wasn't possible to install the iPod software on a new hard drive, so therefore you can't put in a replacement hard drive?

[LollipopLustKil]

You buy an older iPod hard drive and use that instead, as Sawg said.

The rest of the world will see the new iPod January 6th, 2004 at Macworld Expo in San Francisco.

I read it somewhere on a link on another thread.

Heh cool, 2gb is all I need for music per week. There aren't that many great albums that I can cycle through per week to need 40gb or something. (I usually re-listen to over the course of two weeks or so, maybe 3 or 4 albums). So this is well-suited to me, maybe not everyone though.

well i just saw the keynote, and it's going to be $249 US to begin with, so..

249 = 270 = 346 Canadian = Nope!

what a rip for 800 songs. i put $100 into my minidisc player (including the cost of the minidisc player, a sony md-nz404 i think it was) and i can get more than the 200gb ipod. it's much more reliable, its smaller, the sound quality is better (the ipod i listened to at the mac store (YES i do go there, i still like to give apple a fair shot whenever they come out with something new) had absolutly shitty sound) gets better battery life, i can actually SWITCH the battery out if it ever gets the chance to die and did i mention it sounds better? i have no problem carrying a few minidiscs with me if i ever have the desire to listen to more than one of them, i like having all my minidiscs with different moods on each of them and i take what i wanna listen to depending on my mood (or sometimes the mood i wanna be in) i dont believe that the ipod can claim to any of this?

i lub my minidisc player.

For 50 bucks more you can get a 15gig. Why would anyone want a mini.

[whiteflip]

Can you put your mp3's on it if you have a Windows PC?

[some_stupid_nut]

Yeah they work with windows machines now.

[whiteflip]

They work with windows machines but I read somewheres that the Windows version of iTunes gets pissy and only lets you transfer over aac files it encodes. It even disables the ability for music match to transfer over mp3's to it. I dont know and dont really care since I dont have, or plan to get an iPod.

Whoever wrote what you read is clearly an idiot. You can transfer any format that is supported by the iPod with iTunes. Hell, you don't even have to use iTunes. There are other programs like Ephpod that gets the job done.

i read that iTunes, once installed, disables music match's capabilities to transfer songs to your ipod.

if you say no i'll take your word for it.

It's not like it'd be a bad thing anyways. The Musicmatch tool is pure crap.
