Who here DOESN'T have an iPod? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocoholic · 08-20-2007, 10:20 AM

I don't and I have zero intention of buying one. I enjoy listening to the radio or a CD. I don't feel the need to tune out the world around me whn I'm outdoors.

I think a lot of iPod users are just rude. They turn their music up so loud that everyone around them has to listen. They ignore everyone around them, even the cashier who is trying to take their coffee order or ring up their groceries. I've seen idiots walk across the street or in a parking lot so absorbed in their music that they don't hear the cars coming. (It should be totally legal to run these morons over. Natural selection!) They walk around in their own little worlds.

I know a lot of people have them and love them. I don't understand the appeal.

I just realized I probably sound like I'm 62 instead of 26!

If I owned one, it probably would have been stolen by now.

Same here! That's another reason why I can't be bothered.

Jo_Luvs_Ketchup · 08-20-2007, 12:23 PM

I don't. I have a MP3 player and it fits all my music, so I don't see the need.

catlover79 · 08-20-2007, 01:41 PM

I don't have one. I have a stereo and a Discman, and I'm too broke to afford an iPod and downloads anyway.

So I don't see myself getting one anytime soon, and that's OK.

D-Dey · 08-20-2007, 02:46 PM

I don't, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy one. I'd also like to turn a lot of my records into MP3 files, but anyway, if I were to get one, I wouldn't do so without picking up one of these.

I didn't have one for the longest time, but I eventually caved in and bought an ipod video back in May (which was recently stolen). I bought a new Nano because I need something to take to the track with me (and my Discman skipped a lot when I walked, so I found it useless).

coffield3 · 08-20-2007, 03:02 PM

I had an ipod video mine was also stolen at work, i brought a shuffle one recently it does the trick!

AB · 08-20-2007, 03:27 PM

I don't have one either, I usually just listen to my CD player or the radio. My son doesn't have one either, he's never even asked us to get him one. But that could change at any time. lol!

Li-Sung · 08-20-2007, 03:30 PM

I did not think I would like one. But then I got one for Christmas two year ago and I love it. It is the small one the Nano I think they call it. I only wear it when I am at work but not clocked in or if I do something on the internet where I don't need to concentrate much. I think they are good because the music is more sharp and they don't skip like discman does. At first I didn't understand the appeal, but now I do.

freshprinceofLA · 08-20-2007, 04:04 PM

I had the 1st original fat white 20 GB ipod which kept getting a virus so I had to keep returning it to costco until the summer of 06 instead of giving me the original ipod they gave me a 30 GB video i pod and there hasen't been a problem ever since!

Ireneparalegal · 08-20-2007, 04:15 PM

I didn't think I would ever want one. Until I got both my daughters the video one for Christmas last year. I seen how they use it and how efficient it is.

I wanted one so bad, and my boyfriend bought me one for Mother's Day. I actually went with him and bought the one I wanted. Of course, the video one.

I no longer have to burn CD's for my SUV. I now have my ipod and the attachment that allows me to play my ipod in my vehicle. No more looking around for CD's, no more scratched up CD's, no more of that crap. I now have my 3000 + songs in one little ipod, rather than have over 100 + homemade CD's I have to shuffle through. The sound is great, the quality is wonderful, no skipping, etc. It has an equalizer built in. And when I go shopping with my son, he watches videos of Spongebob or whatever kids shows I have downloaded. He is occupied and not bored.

It is so amazing what you can do with the ipod. I can have the 3000 + songs shuffle, or I can arrange a playlist just like on my computer and put all the "old school" songs together, the oldies in one group, the rock music in another playlist, it is great.

Bill Gates has nothing to do with the iPod. He runs Microsoft not Apple. Different company...

I did have one until April. I got tired of paying for every song I downloaded, so I gave it to my niece and I got a Zune player and pay $14.99 a month and download unlimited songs. I couldn't live without it now.... Plus the screen is bigger and you can share the songs with your friends...
