Maybe some of us don't have Ipod's because they are an easy choice, have terrible headphones and an interface that is not conducive to a serious music fan (it's AAC or nothing according to them).

BTW I only have 4 out of the 100 listed on my player so I am very happy to join the crap brigade.

I like some of the oddball choices... but most are pretty obvious. I am curious though... of the entire Beatles catalog why did you choose I Feel Fine? It's an alright song but I'd immediately think of something from their later worker in it's stead. Just seems their later work has aged much better then that song in particular.

iPods are crrap in general, imho

FETCHER.

I literally have none of those. Nor do I recognise any of them at all.

I have an astounding zero of those, not that any of them are bad, just not anything I have an interest in.

Wait I lied, I have two

1) You can't tell the difference between the two media. AAC formatting uses the same encryption that MP3 formatting uses. The key difference being that there's a digital watermark denoting its adherence to Apple's patent.

2) You're wrong, iPods support different media. It's the iTunes program that isn't WMA compatible and that's only because Microsoft won't license it to them. My MediaMonkey player enables me to synchronize with the iPod's operating system fairly efficiently (nor have I had a single problem with it).

3) If you use a third-party OS (like RockBox) you can listen to lossless formats like FLAC on your iPod without much hassle. Something that many other MP3 players' operating systems aren't capable of.

And jackhammer, threads like these are the reason I love this forum so much. It's cheeky and a little snide but I love the title and don't see much reason for offense when the OP just made a fantastic contribution to the forum.

I still think an old Zune is money better spent

EDIT: Actually I can't really speak for any thing. I don't have an mp3 player, I've only seen a few of them in action. I do plan on getting one eventually when I get the scratch... I tried to buy a CD the other day from a rasta stand and I actually bartered with the guy over 5 dollars. ... it was depressing.

boo boo

.......And that's why I don't have an iPod.

Those things have so many problematic issues with them it's a wonder that Microsoft ever made money on them. My 5th-gen iPod is still going strong after five years and I see no reason to ever upgrade it.

It may use the same encryption but a generic MP3 portable player doesn't recognise the files and are therefore unplayable. AAC files work with I tunes and compatible PC based players but MP3 players generally don't play them.

Posting a generic list of the songs we HAVE to have is the sort of topic that you love to rip apart. Just because I don't have those tracks on my MP3 doesn't mean I'm crap and I can argue that a boring cliched list of songs is the reason why I DON'T own a generic piece of hardware and gladly listen to my own collection of tunes that are every bit as good as those tunes even if people don't have the individualism to search for them instead of conforming to conformist cliches.
