Default An Apology to all the Mac peeps

I bought an Ipod at the weekend and all I can say is waw . For design function and overall quality of the whole package (iTunes and iPod) it's out of this world.

Even though I woun't use iTunes for the shop function it's very good at making the auto playlists from play count and ratings

Finding that lots of my tracks didn't have ID3 codes was a bit of a pain in the a$$ but all up and running now with 24GB used next purchase will be the FM transmitter for the car

so what Transmitter is best, seen a few and they all do the same thing but there is a vast price difference.

Craig.

Hi Craig,

You and me both. Bought a 20Gb 3rd gen ipod on friday as a b/day present to myself.

I was checking out transmitters, depends what you ant to do with it.
I'm going for an itrip, works in the car and also next to any radio, powers from the ipod.

Glad you like it!

I've got an iTrip and a few others on here do too. Its probably the best one about as it powers from the iPod, is fairly easy to get working (first time) and fits with the style of the iPod very well.

You may say you won't use the shop, but I wouldn't bank on it I have used it way more than I thought I would / should.

Next step your very own Mac, we're not lying about how good they are either

Applause for that man, big enough to apologise to use Mac users

Now, imagine a personal computer that "just works" like your iPod, a world where things make sense...

A vote for ITrip here, but I'm considering ice link for the car.

Whilst we're on the subject, did Apple update one of their original television adverts a little while ago? I'd love to see it, good Brandwashing.

Jack, do you mean the 1984 Superbowl ad? If so you can see the updated version here:
